regarding spoilers

Kaz · 08-21-2001, 02:10 PM

I'd like to suggest that people who are going to spoil when the subject is general write WHAT theyre going to spoil about (i.e. TotSC as opposed to BG). I read some things I did NOT want to know about TotSC because I thought the spoil was going to be BG, and I havent been able to read subjects that interested me because i wasnt sure what the spoil was about and that is annoying.
Just a suggestion.

Usually, when I post a SPOILER, I put where I am talking about. Example would be: On Werewolf Island.. In Durlag's Tower.. At Ulgoth's Beard..

Here's the policy on spoilers.

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.

Hope this helps.
