Random thought, imagine if BF did a major competition where the prize was you get to spend "some time" in the studio for an hour or two(?) of a range of your choice, obviously with some form of Non-Disclosure agreement etc.
Queue 1 million entries of people nominating anything Tom Baker/David Tennant LOL

By choice, for the recordings of J&L 8! Or 'Jago & Litefoot & Strax' would be very nice too.
In the present era, please let me in for the next 3DAs with Katy & Tim, please BF? I promise to stand very quietly somewhere out of the way and only gawp just a little bit.

I can only speak for myself, but the constant posting of every tweet Big Finish put out is tiring; most of them tell you absolutely nothing new and are therefore neither updates nor starting points for discussion I do agree that not every BF tweet needs to appear here, but on the other hand it does save people like me having to be on Twitter and follow BF there to know what's going on with them, so it's swings and roundabouts.

If something is worth knowing then it’s genuinely new information, which have a legitimate place in the Big Finish Updates Thread, or the discussion thread for the relevant release. Likewise if someone finds vague tweets from cast and crew or listings on CVs, etc. they post on here, so I don’t quite agree that it’s swings and roundabouts.

Just my thoughts. ..Your thoughts were noted previously, and it's defiinitely not every post.. As per feedback from many other forumites they do appreciate everyone chipping in and helping spread the news of various ranges. You might not be aware but not everyone uses social media for personal reasons- so "dipping in on a superficial level without having to log in and commit to social media" so-to-speak to gain information is a benefit to them. I have the PM's.
All good .

Looking upthread, I understand how the pot of petunias felt...
'Oh no, not again!'
(TH2GT2G reference, of course.)
Some BF news is News, there's some 'news' that BF tweet that isn't really news and there are some BF tweets which aren't meant to be news and the divides are sometimes obvious and sometimes invisible.
Perhaps a separate thread 'BF & related Retweets' where anything goes and firmly obscure news only on this one would keep the filing more exact, but I'm not a Marfick so I don't really mind either way. As long as BF stuff appears somewhere on here where I can find it and if it's interesting, I'll read it, or not. I don't Tweet and DU is a great resource for the non-Tweety among us.

I do think posting anything and everything Big Finish tweet is against the spirit of the thread but i also acknowledge the need/want for people to want to see big finishes social media musings as they don’t always have it. Imo a different thread would be more appropriate to share social media correspondence as tweets from the official Big Finish account isn’t really “obscure” and a lot of the stuff posted isn’t “news.” Which when you have taken the obscure and news part out, all the thread is, well, its just “A Place” 😂😂
Although its not my forum obviously and in thr grand scheme of things its a non issue really, just my ten cents.

A storm in a teacup really - people post what they want and I for one would not find out about most of these things if they weren't posted here by those that take the time to do so, as I tend to overlook BF on social media. But yes, duplicate posts and non news items can cause relevant stuff to be dismissed.
A punctilious proscription of personal posting preferences, as old Henry Gordon Jago would have summarised it all. If he cared enough....

Er... might be an idea, Mods & all, if the content of the very first post of this thread were deleted and replaced with a message like "you're looking at the beginning of a thread that's gone on for years, we recommend you start at the end!" becuase at present, the very first thing I see when I open this thread is a statement that Big Finish can't get Eccleston or the Paternoster Gang!
Feel free to select a better choice of words.

It's a difficult balance to strike I guess, but sometimes I can find it a bit frustrating to see the Updates thread updated, or this one and to find nothing new at the end of it (sort of like what I'm just doing now - if someone comes on seeing an update, reads this and thinks 'oh my god are they still going on about that', believe me I understand!). The repetition of certain updates and news that isn't news can be a bit frustrating. I'd be happy for a separate Twitter/social media thread for those that like that kind of thing, but stuff like this one should only be for newsbits telling us something new or surprising, like someone's updated their CV to include a Big Finish, or there's a tweet that might have some relevance in the futures.
Some tweet showing Michelle Gomez just to promote a set that has been out for a year (not even announcing a special offer) is fun and nice enough but when you are looking for something a bit more relevant it can clog things up a little. Whereas a Michelle Gomez tweet announcing a new set is very welcome. Gallifrey Base used to have two updates threads for that reason. One a barebones one with announcements and release dates, the other for a more in depth speculation and random thoughts.
