ATTN: Please be careful when revealing spoilers!!!

Memnoch · 07-03-2001, 06:28 AM

I've noticed quite a few posts from people who have just finished ToB and are accidentally (or otherwise) revealing spoiler information about plot twists, end game bosses, etc. with NO spoiler spaces or spoiler tags. In some cases I've seen spoilers in titles (unintentional, but still spoilers).

Now I haven't finished ToB yet so I am in an excellent position to determine what is or isn't a spoiler. I am asking you all (yet again) to PLEASE be more considerate of others when you type your posts out. Believe it or not there are people here who haven't finished the game yet. It's common courtesy to put a spoiler warning and/or spoiler spaces before revealing plot-sensitive information. It's not too much to ask, is it?

I hate having to delete posts, but I'll start doing it if this continues.

N.B. - Any deliberate or malicious spoiler will be deleted immediately.

Not only have I not finished it, I have not started it. I got my hot little hands on TOB, two weeks ago, but I restarted SOA from the beginning. I am on chapter 6, so I too would like people to refrane from using subject lines like "the big ending is X ".

If you put "(spoiler)" in the title, its the readers fault, if they read it.

Draggor · 07-03-2001, 10:47 AM

Yeah I'm the same. I'm trying to finish SOA first and I've already been spoilt about several plot twists. If I go somewhere and be spoilt when I've been warned about it fair enough but it's not good in general questions about what are good items or something.

Sagath's recent post (TOB Upgrades)is a bit problematic in this area, but I liked it.

bumped again

Sagath · 07-03-2001, 11:39 PM

Sorry about that...I didnt really see it as a spoiler per se, but I guess it could be viewed as one?

Probably should of changed the topic to something a bit different.
My bad

It lets you know what your fighting (which is bad, as the monster isn't generic) but not where (so its not to bad). I have prob. done worse on a quarter of all my posts.

BUMP AGAIN

even thought its still at the top, It should be bumped until the point is made.

I've had more secrets spoiled in the ToB forum than in the others, so I feel it should be made the most clear here.

I still havent started ToB but I'll BUMP to that.
