I can snark but separate my feelings to sleuth.

That being said, i really think we need a thread like @coolangel mentioned for the fan fiction, wild ideas of how it's the foiler of all foilers.  Because IMO, those kept getting mixed in with actual sleuthing and there was no proof or evidence to back it up.  When asked it'd just start a major melt down / tit for tat, back and forth type thing.  I quickly ran out of patience for that, it because a never ending cycle/circle and it was exhausting.  

And yes @kashathediva I agree, no change in spoilers is needed this time around again, this season dealing with it was more than enough.  #adbandonship

IA! Even as a Nick fan, I would pop into his snark thread occasionally but it didn't have much even though other threads did. I think snarking/witty replies flow well in the discussion in a regular thread but rarely will anyone take a post and move it to the snark thread just to snark. Atleast that was the impression I got. I am all for it though.

at 'fan fiction, wild ideas of how it's the foiler of all foilers'. Thank you for supporting the idea of separate threads! I don't think my brain can handle another season of grass gate or SHVs in Janesville.

Seabear wrote:IMO the most difficult thing with the threads this season was for a portion of the season most of the threads became OTT fanning Peter threads. IMO it got in the way for the sleuthers because objectivity regarding Peter not being F1 was out the window. Fortunately some of the most strident posters are no longer members of BBF. I still feel a separate thread for sharing sleuthing finds is a good idea....particularly if Peter is the Bachelor. I feel sleuthing should have a thread were finds can rationally be evaluated without emotion involved.
As for snarking and non snarking in the regular discussion threads...I like the way we currently have it because it keeps things interesting and more balanced than just encouraging fan type posts only. I think all the snarking just in one thread is a bit boring. Even when I disagree with the snark lots of times the posts make me laugh! And I always enjoy the different opinions and perspectives particularly when they are funny. IMO sometimes the snarky posts are the most amusing because often they are very creative and witty.

I would like to see a place where findings can be discussed once sleuthed.  I know sleuthers have sources and may not be able to share every bit of why they are sure of their findings.  I am sometimes stumped when I see findings because I sometimes see an alternate explanation.  I don't want to disparage the good work of the sleuthers, but at the same time better understand that other explanations were considered.  Thanks for your consideration.

IMO we already have/do that in many threads.  But if you have suggestions on how to better accomplish it, please share. 

The only time I see it not happen is when something is rehashed for the 1000th time or someone joins late in the season, etc.  In no way do I mean to put anyone down or alienate them, but if one took the time to read back threw threads or even check the confirmed threads, main times the very same questions that are being asked have been already answered, and multiple times.  

Which is one reason, IMO, we need to make sure posts are copied over to the no discussion threads (SM, confirmed SCs, locations, etc.).  If more would help carry/copy them over for easy finding instead of having to dig back threw or have to ask for the 100th time and people be short about something already rehashed, that would help a lot, IMO.  It's a lot easier to link to where something is than have to hunt for it or try to answer and not remember quite everything, IMO.

IA with LB and others that the no discussion threads must be populated by all, we cannot wait for a mod to move posts across once information has been sleuthed and confirmed.

This seadon is the most invested I've ever been in sleuthing and it's fun！ IMO, we relied on sleuthing more on sources, especially earlier on we had conflicting info. I hope to improve my sleuthing skills next season!

nd4reality wrote:@sdmom I have to say you have already grown as a sleuth. Good job on this season.

I also think one of the traits is to cling to our gut and only till the evidence is clearly in the other direction to give up. This is not to say that feelings should be involved ( la la land type ) but rather hard evidence combined with gut feel.

Back to b22 - how will the editors spin a emotion and vulnerability with P with his hands limply to  his side for an entire season ? how fun hahaha !
