Can we get a mod consensus on the spoiler:s08e14 vs. spoiler:s08e18 tags?

@Derpyfan  
Ep16 (17 on derpi) airs in 3 hours so good luck.

@Love Letter  
What a mess that could have been avoided. Or could be fixed easily, I think.

@Love Letter  

 
I´m afraid so.
 
@Dogman15  

 
Indeed.  
But they just didn´t listen.

A~aand thanks to the screwed up episode orders, I just spent far longer than I would have liked looking to see if I could find episode 17 anyplace before remembering it’s actually episode 16.

@Background Pony #06D3  
Even more confusion.  
Try it with the title instead of the number.

@Background Pony #06D3  
Check on Equestria Daily first, they’re going by the proper DiscoFam airing order and have all of the episodes numbered accordingly.

@TexasUberAlles  
I did, but since I was confused from the Pony with care warning here that said episode 17 was already leaked, I had just assumed EQD didn’t have it up just yet.

As of this moment we are at the point where Discovery Family considers Yakity-Sax episode 18 and Matter of Principals episode 14 (see e-mail linked earlier in thread) and the fandom consensus seems to follow this. If it was any normal “out of order schedule” I would agree that Yakity-Sax was episode 14 but we haven’t had this kind of situation involving a Discover Family preview airing before.

Rainshadow is uploading episode background music, using the iTunes numbering where “A Matter of Principals” is 14 and “The Hearth’s Warming Club” is 15. https://www.youtube.com/user/Homestar14/videos

I just got spoiled really badly by searching for images of episode 14, when I didn’t even know that Yakity-Sax aired. Thanks! <3

@Thorinair  
I’m so sorry for you. https://simple.ponyclock.com/

Guess mods washed their hands off this issue, who cares about what users think I guess.

@Background Pony #0D48  
The users, and a handful of their own moderators. To have done this to start with was understandable, considering old site policy, to have kept the erroneous episode order after the facts were laid out and everyone here has said there peace comes across as just being stubborn.

@Background Pony #06D3  
Pardon me, but isn’t it “their piece”?

@Dogman15  
Y’know, I’m not sure. Both make a certain sense to me.

It’s “say one’s piece” for “I’ve made my statement;” versus “hold one’s peace” for “I’m not going to say anything, even though I want to.”

@Background Pony #0D48  
So all of us think the same. Right.

Literally every other site, including Discovery Family, labels A Matter of Principals as S8E14 and Yakity-Sax as S8E18. Tags should reflect that.

@Jarkes  
And TV…

@LightningBolt
 
Exactly.

Yakkity Sax is episode 18 according to basically everyone. And refusing to accept that A Matter of Principals is episode 14 is screwing up the numbering of five other episodes, exposing users to unwanted spoilers, and hiding actual wanted content from still other users. But clearly, letting this just fester until months after the season ends when they delete the spoiler tags anyway is the way to go because it’s less work. Of course, the longer it’s left to fester the more work it becomes to fix, until it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

@Archonix  

 
For the record, it’s nothing to do with whether it’s more or less work. It was significant more work to keep the previous ordering than to change it, even now, because we have tools that make changing tags very easy. We were attempting to establish some sort of consistency in our spoiler tagging policies. We’ve simply adjusted how we approach that policy, after internal discussion.
