Suggestion & Discussion - Stupid Spoilers

It's getting closer, and more spoilers will come out. Scores and such. And between the 9th and 11th being an European here without strict marking of spoilers will be a bitch. I just saw Darknet's post about OXM. It gave away the score, no marking or anything. Now personally, I don't wanna know the scores.

My suggestion is, Mozy and Slacker if he can be arsed can set up a special rules about spoilers. This way, it will be easier to know what to press and what not to press....

re: Suggestion & Discussion - Stupid Spoilers

Don't worry, I've been thinking about introducing a spoiler policy towards to end of the month, when new information (if any) becomes apparent.. Right now, it's a bit to soon, since we know basically everything there is to know.

re: Suggestion & Discussion - Stupid Spoilers

Why dont you make it manditory to post any spoilers in a designated thread you have made, with the title "Warning: Spoilers Inside" that way people can share stuff with each other and not piss off the europeans and gamers who havent purchased the game.

Spoliers Policy in the GTA:SA Forum

Why not implement one like in the GTA: San Andreas forum?

Good idea!
quote
This is how it works:

If you are posting something that may be considered a spoiler (a pivotal plotline point) Post it like this:


SPOILER






This way, someone can skip the post if they want to.







END SPOILER

Now, if your entire thread is a spoiler, please make use of the thread's title to warn people!

Example:
Thread Title:
[SPOILER]What Should I Do After Carlo's Mission?

(Or whatever - you get the idea, yes?)

Not trying to act like a wise-crack or anything, but a thread doesn't need the spoiler tag if the title hints towards the obvious with something like 'OXM Review'.

I agree, if there is a thread called something like "the ending" or "somebody help me with the storyline?" Then I think common sense would tell you spoilers are on the way.

As for posts, I think spoiler warning would be good.

re: Suggestion & Discussion - Stupid Spoilers

I would suggest the titles being something like [Spoiler] Help on Lever (insert level number here), then have the full information inside, that way somebody doesn't make a thread called, [Spoiler] Help Blowing Up the Covenant Homeworld and Killing the Forerunners.

Of course I knew it was something about a review but I thought it was like review in the new mag or that the score was marked with a tag.

Well since we're not related to Miss *bleep*in' Cleo how are we to tell what you're talking about. If it isn't blatanly obvious (I.E-'End of the Game') then someone might misinterpret it. 'The End' can relate to anything, end of a level perhapse. Although you'd have to be dense not to figure it out thread titles don't always register with us.

Plus what the hell is so hard about putting [Spoiler] in front of your title?
