Ive seen lots of spoilers lately WITHOUT the spoiler mark. You should be very careful when posting this kind of info, and mark it clearly so that it doesnt ruin other peoples games.

This is the info considered as spoiler:

- Info about quests or plots. For example, telling what is gonna happen in a quest, what you have to do to get it, telling info about the main plot of the game, etc.
- Info about items, like telling their location or abilities.
- Info about enemies. For example, writing what is their tactic in battle, or what spells or tactics hurt them most.
- Any other info that might spoil other people. Just think, if you had just got the game and you read what you are gonna write, would it ruin your game, would the game lose something, anything ? if the answer is YES, then definitely its a spoiler.

In regards to spoilers. Might we suggest hints or give the person a little guidance in the right direction without a straight up walk through on where to go. If after the hints or suggestions, the person writes back and is still having problems then we can try to help them out. I would never have fun playing this game if I was told where or what exactly to do in this game.

BTW, I don't think every item is necessary to have just for the sake of having it. I read books of Forgotten Realms and would never pickpocket Drizzt's weapons just because I can. Elminster and Drizzt are legends in the lands and I could never bring myself to take something from them. If I want a +5 weapon I'll do what they did and Fight the good fight and earn it in BG2. The best part of this game is not the Items you get but the RP storyline you get and I don't think Black Isle could have come up with a better story line then what they chose. I can't thank Black Isle enough for allowing me to join the world of my two favorite Heroes.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Well, one way to make sure members don't post spoilers without the labels is to put POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD. In any case, if they are not sure, then if it does end up being a spoiler, then they would have nothing to worry about. If it doesn't, you have to remember it says POSSIBLE.

it is a bit hard to avoid the subject altogether if the thread-creator really WANTS a spoil and is seriously stuck. Perhaps if that what is needed they could write: 'Spoiler wanted' in the title?

Guys, you should really comply with the rules Subcomandante Ertai has outlined:

1) he is right, spoilers are really annoying and as the moderator of this forum it is his task to monitor such things.

2) You don't want to anger him I: he has a close friend who owns a pit fiend and your weakling BGI characters are most certainly not yet up to facing one of those.

3) You don't want to anger him II: he is Basque, and believe me that a disgruntled Basque is even much more frightening than a pit fiend !

4) You don't want to anger him III: he is also a close friend of a certain tall blonde whose sharp tongue and mind make her more frightening than a pit fiend and an angry Basque combined ... http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

LOL Ramon, i dont get angry easily !!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/tdo9.gif
But i dont think you wanna see me angry anyway !! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no.../angryfire.gif

http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/biglaugh.gif

I think its going better now, but we still need to be more careful !! I havent started editing ALL the spoilerish posts, but when BIG spoilers are given without notice, i will edit them and maybe do something about it if its not the first time.

The idea of marking if a question requests spoilers or not is cool too, try to use it !!

thanks to all http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Here's a stupid idea:
People are lazy. Some are too lazy to write "spoiler". Maybe if there was a "spoiler" radio button with the "smilies" the lazy sloths would use it.

You know what Ace of Spades, thats a good idea !! Anyway the post smilies are small, i dont think people would notice them a lot... but a radio button that would insert a big banner at the start of the post saying SPOILER would be good i think... ill tell ziroc !! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Lazy? That's very disappointing to hear, mate. I hope you're not in that category. It's bad enough if it's unintentional - if it's deliberate and purely because people are LAZY then that is much worse.

I don't understand what's so difficult about this simple request. All it requires is a bit of commonsense and courtesy from each one of us. This may help people with spoiler protocol - if they're not too lazy to read it, that is. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

<font color="yellow">
Warn before you Spoil: A spoiler is something that reveals information about a plot twist or the location of some object/character/hidden place in a game. Spoilers are by their nature subjective - you will need to use your judgment to determine what these are.

Many people in this forum talk about 'general' game issues, such as "What is the best party for whatever" or "Should I drop whoever from my group?". These types of posts usually don't require spoilers as they are general information. Other people might have specific game questions like "How do I get past so-and-so" or "Where is such-and-such". These would be considered posts requesting spoiler information. Some are obviously bigger spoilers than others. There are also posts which refer to specific plot twists in the games here. A lot of people who come here do NOT know about certain plot twists which the rest of us might take for granted. Unmarked spoilers about these detract from these people's gaming experience. The majority of people don't like finding out about a plot twist before they were meant to. (Like someone telling you the ending of a movie before you see it)

As a courtesy to other board members who may not have gotten as far in the game as you have, please abide by the following when requesting or revealing spoiler information: Do NOT reveal the spoiler in your title. Put a SPOILER tag in the title so people know you will be revealing spoiler information. Put spoiler spaces just before the part where you are revealing the information.

I always try to make a note if I am giving a spoiler. If anyone sees me giving some away without warning feel free to let me know...

heeheeheeheehee :angelwings:

If someone on here asks for help on a certain subject, and another person kindly provides this information for them, how can it be considered a spoiler? If the first person didn't want the information, he/she wouldn't have asked for it in the first place. Right?

Mage:
An example would be a topic that says "How can I..." The question is in the actual post. If the post continues "...kill the dragon in the Fairy Woods?"
Well, most people are going to read the thread because they didn't know there was a spoiler. The topic should have read "How can I...***SPOILER***"
Another example would be a topic that says "Is Bartholomew real?" They are probably asking for confirmation that he IS real. A reply of "Bart is real. He has a +3 Sword of Sharpness" is inappropriate. If you must respond that way, you SHOULD use a ***SPOILER*** warning.
BTW, the examples are made-up, not ***SPOILERS***
