This should be added as a sticky

Originally posted by Aerich: Hey everybody, Just something for general information and courtesy. I've noticed a few unmarked spoilers recently; basically speaking, spoilers are questions and comments that reveal plot twists, etc, that other players may not have found out about yet. I'm not going to single anyone out, and there's no blame/shame attached, because we're all occasionally guilty of posts that don't notify of spoilers. When I first got on the forum, it was almost lifeless, and everybody there had already finished the game more times than I had. Some of my posts from that period have definite spoilers, and my "priest-heavy party" thread/logbook certainly has some spoilers in it. I'm still not totally into the habit. All of us need to be wary of spoilers. Not only when posting, but when reading. If you see a thread about a section that you haven't got to yet, be wary about reading it. Same goes when writing posts. Think about what kind of information might be revealed to people who haven't finished the game yet. If you've posted something in the last few days that you believe might cross the boundary, please edit your post to be more vague, or at least to add a visible spoiler warning. For your viewing pleasure (and because this post isn't long enough yet ), here's some guidelines from the Ironworks "Rules and Regulations" that offer some hints about what are and aren't spoilers, and what to do about them. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
