No, but it is the same logic. When the title of the thread says 'covers', I expect to see covers in the thread, and there weren't any covers.

i.e. Any discussion about the covers is going to be purely speculative because the covers ARE NOT OUT YET! - so I'm not sure what makes this situation so different from any other speculative thread.

What I am mostly uncomfortable with is the idea that there seems to be some sort of discrimination whereby certain members can be counted on to give information whereas contributions made by other members are all just immediately dismissed or have to be SUBSUMED by a 'bigger thread' made by a more established member. This is even more evident when you say "but some members are a little more trustworthy to actually follow the thread, and update their first posts." - Of course, as with every community, there will be certain members who contribute more, and who can be counted on, and their efforts should definitely be appreciated. However, I disagree with the idea that contributions made by other "lesser" members be dismissed for the sake of "better organisation" while these so called more 'trustworthy' members are exempt from this.

I understand how some people might think I'm just being anal-retentive and making a huge fuss over something very trivial, but I think it is very important in EVERY community that there is equity in the way every member is treated.
