Spoiler rule
From now on when you post a spoiler, black it out. That goes for any forum and any kind of spoilers. It's happened one or two times too many for my tastes now.
The proper way to black things out, remember, is [*COLOR=111111*]yourtexthere[*/COLOR*], removing the asterisks. That's six '1's. Don't use COLOR=Black as it will still show up on some peoples' monitors. Also don't quote text containing a spoiler as the black text shows up much more easily on the grey background used for quotes. If you quote such text, remove the spoiler before submitting. EDIT: We have proper spoiler tags now. [*spoiler*]text text text[*/spoiler*], again without the asterisks. Okay. It's official now. No excuses anymore. Editing to clarify: if you post a spoiler in a thread that, from the title, leaves no doubt that it contains spoilers for a specific movie/book/whatever, you don't need to black it out. That is to say, in a thread named for example "Who thinks that the end of the Dreamcatcher movie sucked?" you can clearly expect the end of Dreamcatcher being disclosed. In threads named "Movie endings these days suck" or "The Dreamcatcher movie", however, we'd better not catch you using no black out tag. When in doubt, make it black. |
