In light of recent events, especially regarding the speculative comments on "The Shell," I've been thinking about a possible new rule.

I'm sure most of you guys are as sick of people throwing their "The Shell" speculations around as much as I am. Some would go as far as to post what's essentially their fanfic versions of said episode. I certainly wish those people would just shut the hell up.

This brings to my own proposal for a new rule: not to necessarily ban all forms of speculation per se, but to ban certain speculative comments that constitute fanon. Namely, how the episode might play out (which would be essentially miniature version of a fanfic) and what character X might really look or act like (e.g. "is Penny really a deer???") Such comments will be deleted. My proposed rule wouldn't be limited to just "The Shell," but to future, unaired episodes.

I hope I've made myself clear. What do you think?
