Guidelines for new threads after quarterly report?

[reckoner04]

Are there any guidelines for new threads for when ATVI releases their quarterly report? Or maybe could a mod make a megathread for this topic? The amount of threads will probably be insane, and they hurt the quality of the MMO-C forums quite a bit in my opinion. No matter what the report will actually bring, the arguments from both camps ("fanboys" and "blizzard haters") have already been posted a hundred times (as most possible outcomes have been discussed to death already) and most new threads will probably be flamebait anyway.

I think the forum needs some clear rules about these kind of threads and in my opinion a megathread would be the best solution to the problem.

There should only be one thread, probably whichever is created first. Once a thread is going, feel free to report any duplicates and we'll close/merge them.

And, of course, please report any posts within the main thread where people are breaking the rules (trolling, insulting each other, etc.). A discussion on the topic is fine as long as it remains civil.
