OK, there are 2 sides to the story here. With a new game, spoilers are always going to be a bone of contention. Worm, I can understand how difficult it sometimes is to decide if something is a spoiler or not. Is mentioning someone's name a spoiler? Is mentioning where he is a spoiler? If you mentioned the name of an unknown enemy and didn't reveal their location in your subject title, then I agree, it's not a spoiler. Now if you mentioned the name of an ally who turns on you, and you talked about a battle with them, then I would definitely say that is a spoiler. The trick is working out whether or not someone can find out something they weren't supposed to by reading your title.

Secondly, if you are unsure of the content of your post, then put a SPOILER tag on it. Then if people still read the thread it will be their own damn fault.

Everyone just calm down a bit over this, ok? There have been a few unintentional spoilers, but nothing malicious so far. We're doing our best to catch and fix these. Just email me ASAP if you see one which is a big one. Have a thought for me: I haven't finished the game yet but I've already been spoiled beyond imagining!
