It was called to my attention via PM's that some people who spoiled got their heads bitten off by well-meaning members of the board.

Guys, while I agree *spoiling* is a disagreeable act, please do have courtesy in asking the poster of the offending thread to alter it, rather than screaming at them IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!! That is rude, and it tends to drive potential board members away. I know it's frustrating to be spoiled, but do take a little time to be considerate. Many "spoilers" didn't do so out of malice, but out of being rushed and wanting to find an answer to something so quickly that they didn't think before they posted. Usually a polite word to them, especially if they're still on the board, is enough to get them to amend the post and next time they probably won't engage in such behavior again.

Now, if someone is consistently spoiling others after being warned repeatedly about it, let me or one of the other mods know about the behavior via PM and we'll take care of it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
