Ok, so the TV.com staff just earned some points with me...

I went to my queue and found a submission. I click the Mod button. And up came a submission with wonderous things. Links to the show, episode, and user. Now while I wouldn't label this a sitewide priority It's still greatly (GREATLY) appreciated. I'm always trying to find my way to a seperate page from whence the submission came so that I can make sure the quote/note/allusion isn't already there and to use the summary as a refresher to make sure that they are submitting to the right place. TV.com just saved me a lot of time in moderating submissions. Now while TV.com has done something VERY GOOD and USEFUL in my book they are doing something that's grating on my nerves. The overuse of exclamation points on the front page. Every headline they flash by in that big window is followed by and exclamation point. Now while they may hope to get users pumped up about the show's airing tonight not everything is exiciting. "Meredith and George are having tension at work and at home" should not be followed by an exclamation point. "Josh may lose his job tonight" should not be followed by an exclamation point. Some things do warrant exclamtion point but NOT EVERY storyline. I'm just worried that in a few weeks I'm going to see this: "Leo dies tonight!" Exclamations points scream that you're excited. Leo's death is not something to be happy about. Must they always use exclamtion points? I think they are way to free with them. It's almost disrespectful to many of the storylines they choose to highlight. In other news I've hit Level 26! New level! Bow Flex Level 26 (4%)
