Amendment to "On Spoilers"

Sazerac · 08-25-2002, 05:53 PM

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]

Sazerac, my sincere appoligies as I am one of the guilty parties. I often let things rub me the wrong way and forget that some things just aren't worth getting ticked over.

I'm assuming you were probably refering to the charade that i origionaly posted about relationships. I take full responsibilty for everything. I was completely oblivious to the fact that i could edit my post and remove the spoiler. So the only thing for me to do then was to defend what i had already said. Unfortunately I failed. I basically deleted everything i said in that thread and summarized it into one sentence.

But odds are i wont post here very much anymore. Once again i am sorry in causing this big mess. And if you weren't refering to that then i just wasted about 3 minutes. It will never happen again.

I am sorry that I "over reacted" Really sorry honest when I look back at that thread man I feel so guilty. BIG SORRy I was in a bad moood in that day.

VERY sorry Tireus like I said Very sorry I just cannot get over it.

I do not exspect forgivness but I just want you to know that I am sorry for what I did and I regret I posted such a thing.

Sythe calm down. He is hopefully not emotionally scarred by everyone's emotional insensitivity. You really need to let it go.

The.Relic · 08-25-2002, 11:20 PM

Sythe, not to worry. The fact that you show remorse and apologized should be more than enough. We all have a bad day every now and then [img]smile.gif[/img]

Come on, guys. This isn't an issue to leave Ironworks over. As it was, I only caught the tail end of the fracas, since I was PM'd about it.

Everyone "hug" and make up, ok? There's more important things to be doing anyway, like playing games.
