DO NOT REQUEST SPOILERS!
All requests for spoilers will be met with "SPOILER REQUEST. NO COMMENT." or DELETION. Prefacing your spoiler
request question by saying, "I hope this doesn't trigger a spoiler alert" or the like doesn't help.
Think before you post. If you're asking for information about what is to come
on a show, it's a spoiler. And Greg flat out will not answer. So all you're doing is clogging
the queue.
Search the archives
to make sure your question hasn't already been answered. Any question already answered will
receive an "ASKED AND ANSWERED" response or be DELETED. Again, this only serves to clog the queue.
Check the unanswered questions queue before posting your
question. It may not yet be answered, but if you can see that someone's already asked the question,
then there's no point in asking it again. All you'll receive is another "ASKED AND ANSWERED" response
or the post will be DELETED.
Consider asking your question from knowledgeable fans before posting it.
For example, the folks at
http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/comment/
are very knowledgeable and can usually answer questions much faster than Ask Greg. The
Gargoyles Wiki, the
Young Justice Wiki, and
the Station Eight FAQ
are excellent sources of information as well and may contain the answers to your questions.
Please refrain from asking questions - even non-spoiler questions - that it seems obvious will be answered by the
end of the season. One of the reasons the queue is so long is because it's filled with questions that have already
been answered by subsequent episodes, even questions that one would reasonably assume would be answered by
subsequent episodes. If at the end of the season, your questions still aren't answered, THAT is the time
to ask them. Until then, your post risks DELETION.
If you are asking multiple questions in one post, please number your questions. And if you're asking
more than five questions then create a separate post. But please, do NOT flood the queue. Show
restraint or risk DELETION.
Please do not submit any original ideas, notions, concepts, or drawings of original characters. No stories, no fanfic, no
teleplays, nothing. Anything like this will automatically be DELETED.
No original ideas masquerading as questions. Asking what Demona did during World War II is fine. Asking if Demona
tried to assassinate Hitler during World War II is an idea masquerading as a question and is not all right. Again:
automatic DELETION.
No requests for employment. If you want to ask generally about how one might break into the business, Greg will try to give
his perspective, but this is not an appropriate forum for personal pleas for work and as such will be DELETED.
Please make separate posts for each topic you want to address or ask questions about. If you have 3 or so questions about one topic
(for example, Oberon) you may post them together. But if you wish to ask about multiple topics (for example, Oberon AND Goliath
and Elisa's relationship) please make separate posts for each topic or risk DELETION.
Please keep the language clean. This is more or less a PG website. Anything beyond the occasional 'damn' will result in your
entire post being DELETED.
Rudeness is not appreciated. You don't have to like Greg's stuff. And negative comments are perfectly legitimate and will not
be deleted simply for being negative. But that can be done without being rude or abusive. Keep it civil or risk DELETION.
Please do not bother making comments worded in such a way that they, in essence, CHALLENGE Greg to acknowledge how right
those comments are about their criticisms of the program. Here's the thing...you do NOT have to agree with Greg's creative
choices, but aside from a few objective mistakes that he has ALWAYS been willing to acknowledge, you have to understand
that if Greg and his creative partners put something in the series, the odds are THEY LIKE IT. YOU are NOT going to convince
GREG that, for example, "Hello, Megan!" or Robin's laugh or Superman's response to Superboy or Wally's flirting is bad for
the show. Feel free to tell him you don't care for these (or other) things, but stop phrasing these COMMENTS as questions or
challenges. It grates. Any question that falls into this category will at best be answered with a: "WE LIKE OUR SHOW." and
in fact risks DELETION.
Just as Greg won't answer spoiler questions here, please do NOT post spoilers from episodes (or issues) that have not yet
aired (or gone on sale) in the United States. The queue needs to be a safe place where folks can go without being blindsided
by spoilers they may not want to see. (In fact, it's bad enough that our moderators are subjected to them.) Any spoilers
posted will result in automatic DELETION - so please just don't do it.
Breaking any of these guidelines may result in DELETION. This means, for example, that if you ask four legitimate questions, but your
fifth question does not follow even one of the guidelines, your ENTIRE POST may be DELETED.
Once a post is deleted, there is no cache where it is saved. There is no appeal. You can go to the S8 Comment Room and ask a
moderator WHY the post was deleted FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, i.e. so that future posts will better observe the guidelines and hopefully
not be deleted. But the moderator cannot reinstate your post. Also, keep in mind that sometimes the moderators delete posts.
Sometimes Greg does, in which case the moderator may not be able to explain the decision. The moderators are merely following
Greg's guidelines. Greg can delete a post on a whim.
