Welcome to the Community Helpdesk for the Rumor Mill!
This thread is an open forum discussion area for questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions you might have for this forum (the Rumor Mill) and its subforums (Speculation, New Card Discussion, etc.). Feel free to discuss things like forum structure, what threads get stickied, how new spoilers get posted, etc. When making suggestions or giving feedback about the forums, we ask that you keep all comments civil. As with all threads, all other MTGS Forum Rules apply here.
The following items should not be discussed in this thread. Violators will be reminded/warned/infracted accordingly. This isn't an exhaustive list: use good judgment when posting in the Helpdesk.
Suggesting, debating, and/or challenging site rules.
Discussions about rumors, speculation about new Magic products, evaluation of new cards and sets.
Why was the Eternal Masters thread closed, instead of just handing out infractions to the offending posters?
The thread was closed as a temporary measure because things had gotten too far off-topic and too inflammatory. It will be reopened in a few days when tempers have cooled.
Several infractions were handed out, but the thread kept veering off course.

Dont know if this is the place to post this, but i think there is a problem with the spoiler, its counting both faces of a double faced card in the total number of cards in the spoiler, when they share a collector number...is this supposed to happen?

Merged into Helpdesk thread.
There is a known issue with how our spoilers are tracked. It's not optimal, but it is how it currently works.

Why are there still locked threads in the main rumor mill forum? Shouldn't they be moved to the archive?
Locked threads are generally left in the main forum so that it's easier for people to see that those topics have been posted and thus don't need to be posted again - most people don't think to look in Archives to determine this.

Why are people allowed to post threads in speculation that are basically custom card creation threads? Literally every time I go to that subforum, some guy with less than a hundred posts makes the most overpowered crap or some other bad design that Wizards would never do.

It seems like there are a few bad users who say bigoted things, then other people call them out on it and they argue about it, completely derailing the thread. Then there were a couple other threads going completely off topic and talking about proxies and the secondary market. What do these things have to do with the topics about future sets? It's stupid.

We're working on cracking down on both of these things.

Hello. I'm curious to understand why the Masterpiece Discussion thread (where which is talking about the masterpiece change in general terms and not specific cards) was moved to New Card Discussion, while the Kaladesh Inventions thread - which talks about the specific cards stayed in the main Rumour mill.
I'm also wondering (more than a little) why all of the discussions on new card reveals are in the main Rumour Mill and not in New Card Discussions - when it feels like that's what that subforum is for.
I've only been active on this site since EMN spoilers - so there may be something I'm missing. It just feels a little backwards to me.
Thanks!

The Rumor Mill threads are for the announcement of specific new cards (or products). New card discussion is generally for discussion of how cards might impact the meta, be used in a deck, or interact with other cards.
The Masterpiece discussion was moved to New Card Discussion as there was already a thread for the Inventions. As this was not revealing new information, it belongs in New Card Discussion.

Thank you for clarifying. The Masterpiece thread does not discuss how cards impact the meta, are used in a deck, or interacts with other cards - but interacts with the game as a whole. It feels like a more general topic (and maybe belongs in Magic General instead). I think I was confused because it's not really talking about 'new cards' specifically it's talking about the new direction of magic as a whole (although some people in that thread are talking specifically about the Invetions, which was not the intent of the thread).
Please consider moving it to Magic General. However - I have no stake in it. I am content with the answer you provided even if you choose not to move it.
Thanks again for your explanation.

Sorry if this is the wrong place but: On the Kaladesh spoiler page, Engineered Might is listed twice, once in its normal slot in the multicoloured section, one at the end of the multicoloured section. This is throwing the totals off.
Thanks

Some people are posting links to spoilers instead of hosting the image on this forum, and I feel that there should be guidelines for posting spoiled cards. In addition to that if a new card is posted then there should be a text version as well. It's annoying to have to click a link to go to Twitter or watch a Youtube video. Not to mention that some people are at work and do not have access to Youtube or other social media.
Hello, we'll be more vigilant in adding images and spoiler text ourselves. After all, when people find spoilers, it happens that in the excitement to post it quickly the whole process of uploading the image gets forgotten. Text spoilers should also constantly update at a decent rate at our regular spoiler page, if that helps. Thank you for pointing the problem out.

StaffA Reserved List sticky wouldn't be much help during other spoiler seasons, but I can definitely stick it for this week.
