I'm too lazy to do the poll. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
My feeling is that if you give out specific information (i.e. "to find the Dwemer puzzle box you [specific info here]) it's a spoiler. Otherwise it's just game strategy and general hints. And truthfully, I come to game boards to be spoiled.
I haven't seen a lot of blatant spoilage here, just the occasional slip.
In terms of threads being derailed, I think it usually happens after the poster's question has been answered (and that usually is about the 2nd or 2rd post). After that, if it wanders, who cares?
All in all, I don't think it's too bad. But then, I've been on Ironworks a lot of years and seen a lot of higher traffic forums where it IS bad. I don't feel overall this particular forum is too bad.
If you're asking for specifics, label your title as a spoiler. If the title's not labeled as a spoiler thread, and you enter specific info, leave a little spoiler space when you answer. It isn't that hard.
