Although I'm still two full seasons behind on Game of Thrones (and Orange is the New Black), I just got entirely distracted by Netflix's Stranger Things. Which is what I will be binge-watching this weekend, because the only thing I love more than a crime procedural is a mystery with monsters and a killer soundtrack. And speaking of Netflix, has anyone tried out that new Flixtape feature yet? It's similar to a feature that I would like to have, which is to build a playlist of favorite episodes and then have the ability to shuffle through them (a la Spotify). I'm keen to try out Flixtape too, which is more like a curated mixed tape of episodes.Over in community news, a few quick things: For commenters, please be aware that there is, in fact, a filter that will automatically pullcomment that contains an f-bomb (or any spelling of that particular word including "f*ck", etc.). If you've noticed that your comment has been removed, and it had an f-word in it, then that is why. This isn't, unfortunately, the same as the bug that has been removing legitimate comments. We're still looking into that.In Public Access news, we are on track to have our best month ever (again!) so keep up the good work, contributors! We're also working on an update to Public Access that will give members more features, better resources and more perks so if there's something you're really dying to have, then let us know either in the comments here or in an email . As we roll out these updates, we will be cracking down on spam, SEO linking and content marketing posts so consider this a heads up. We will have a new set of guidelines and policies in place to deal with these types of violations.Lastly, hey, did you know that today is " Don't be a dick " day? It's true! This geek holiday was created by Wil Wheaton on his birthday to encourage folks to be classy and compassionate to each other online. So, go compliment someone in the comment section! Send someone* a bunch of cat GIFs! Offer helpful resources to a n00b who doesn't know what they're doing! Go out of your way to be so nice that people suspect you're being sarcastic! It's fun to confuse people.

*By "someone" I clearly mean me. I will happily take all of the cat GIFs, and any other GIFs that involve adorable animals.
