Some HTF members have suggested that separate Review/Discussion threads be revived again in Movies. One of their concerns is people who watched a particular film are not using spoilers, therefore, identifying film details that might spoiled the enjoyment level of those that haven't watched the film yet, but wanted to read some reviews of it beforehand from other HTF members. Some of the reasons why we stopped designating such threads was because we felt that they didn't facilitate further film discussion in Movies. Also, members stopped posting their comments in the review/discussion threads, but instead posted their thoughts in the annual "track the films you watched" threads.

So now, we're going to poll the membership on whether they want dedicated official review/discussion threads again or on a limited basis or not at all. As indicated, you will have three options to vote on regarding this subject matter. Voting on this issue will remain open until July 20th.

Thank you for your full consideration on this matter.
