New poll (as the other was misleading for some) after taking what everyone had to say into account. Some things have changed:

The grouping will only be for the big fandoms, if it happens i.e. if there are more than 5 secrets of the same fandom in the same day's batch. So if there were 20 Doctor Who secrets, they would be grouped together. If there were 4 Supernatural secrets, they would be kept random.

The rest of the post would be random as usual, so the randomness would never be completely lost.

The secrets will continue to be picked in random order from the week's batch.

I don't care... but I really hate seeing how many people think I shouldn't make secrets just because they have to do with Doctor Who :( I had no idea so many people thought that way about us. I don't really read the Supernatural secrets or the anime secrets whatever (because I don't understand what they're talking about cuz I know nothing about the canon... not cuz I'm 'sick of seeing that fandom' or anything), but I'd never say that I hate seeing a lot of secrets about it or something... I'm sorry I'm a part of a large fandom? Doesn't mean my secrets are any less valid... but it makes me sad to know that so many people just see what I've got to say/admit as 'just another boring Doctor Who secret, STFU already' and scroll on by. It's not my fault the fandom is so damn big! Maybe it's big because it's a good show?

It's not that people think that secrets shouldn't be made, it's that it gets annoying when you have 5+ secrets all saying basically the same thing for ANY fandom. At that point, it's really not a secret if a whole bunch of people feel the same way.

not the same person,

But grouping secrets doesn't take in to account what the secrets say only what fandom the secret is in. For example, someone could be saying that they think they're Ianto's pet dog or something and it would not be the same thing as the 6 other secrets about how people are depressed that Ianto's wearing blue, but it would be grouped among them.

Also, people can't predict or know how common an opinion is and it shouldn't even matter if they could. This is fandom secrets, not fandom minority. For example, it's a secret for one person to like slash (because they're in a religious or conservative community or whatever reason) while others may think it's very common and not something that should be made secret at all. There was a secret the other day about how someone didn't consider having a fandom a secret and then finding out how they couldn't be completely honest about their fandom opinions. It's all perspective really.
