I'm admittedly new to the mod crew, but I'm going to see what sort of recourse there is to bury spoilers in a proper spoiler tag in posts. Being that I've not seen the film and don't want to fully spoil it for myself, I'm going to see if there's a mod that is not concerned with such spoiling and if obscuring such post info in spoiler tags is considered an acceptable edit I'll request they lead such an initiative.

I hate trying to stay away from these boards, as I really want to continue along with the ARG- but I fear being spoiled after being UN-Spoiled for 6 long months.

Please don't ruin the surprise for those of us who have not seen it, and do not want to know until we can see it for ourselves!

Start a New Group or something, this will archive Pre-watchers ideology and post watchers in different discussion boards?

This will be the Pre-watcher thread, create a new for people that are POST viewing, it only makes sense, considering it like Pre-war and Post War.

eleventhed, but it will become unenforcable after the release date in my opinion.

Splitting the sub-forum was a good idea. Personally I'd like to just have another additional area for those who have already seen the movie to hang out in and spam their spoiling hearts out.

Yes we should be responsible enough to not read anything with a tag, but out of sight is out of mind. Plus for anyone wanting to just feel free enough to discuss the movie itself after seeing it they can have that freedom absent from worrying who they'll offend.

Avoiding a post seems simple enough, but the intermingling will surely lead to a certain level of ruining it anyway. By separating it completely I believe this can be reduced.

Glad to see many supporters Smile

IMO, from what I have read the game/experience ends with the movie launch and I personally don't hold folks accountable for spoilerific talk after the movie is out. For those of us following this I imagine 90% of us are going at midnight Smile

I think the dangerous part is those of us who've read the production notes or any reviews are going to have to be responsible enough not to use that information on other non-spoiler threads.

It's simple in theory. If it comes from anything marked SPOILER, don't reference it without masking it or marking your post. Don't go into theory or discussion threads and blab about what you know just to make yourself look good. Any thread not marked SPOILER should be assumed to be safe for those who want to be surprised, and we should honor that.

And I fully support the mods wielding whatever tools needed to keep that integrity, including a banhammer if necessary.
