Regarding Spoilers
 
As the release date of Halo 3 gets closer, and with multiple cases of pre-release-sold copies of this game, the chance of seeing a story Spoiler becomes increasingly large.

As a gamer (and especially a Halo fan), I hereby declare a ban on Spoiler-related posts, WITHOUT any notification or effort to conceal the Spoiler.

For example, a Spoiler post (which shouldn't be posted at all, if you ask me) would look something like this:

*SPOILER*
Spoiler
spoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoiler
*END SPOILER*

You can also make the text unreadable, if you make it very small. Unfortunately, only Nate seems to have mastered this...

Of course, this applies to other games as well. At least the Big Ones anyways.

Anyone breaking this rule will get an Infraction, and a title change to an embarrasing "SPOILER!!!111eleventyone" (or similar) for an undecided period.

Hobo 09-19-2007 10:33 PM

Master Chief is a dinosaur!

I think this is slightly unfair only imposing it because the mod doesn't want it spoiled.

Zozo the Zrilufet 09-19-2007 11:02 PM

:pBut I thought people liked custon titles.

Spirrow 09-20-2007 06:34 AM

Fack Sandbrain's way.

We should be able to make as many spoilers as we want. And I declare a new rule saying that should you obey those luzy-floozy moderators rules, then may you be banned quickly. It's the only way we can tell Peter and his mods that we are not going to live by their rules anymore.

Mojo 09-20-2007 07:52 AM

If you don't want to follow rules anymore, I suggest you leave.

Or you can always just break some of those rules, so I can personally ban you.

Ass.

Fuzzle King 09-20-2007 08:38 AM

i think mojos right.spoilers are bad in a way as someone not wanting to know one might accidently click on the spoiler for the game they have been saving up for for ages.i just dont think it is a good idea

Nate 09-20-2007 04:40 PM

Whooo... You know there are also rules about grammar, eh Fuzzle King?

skillyaslig 09-22-2007 06:32 PM

ah yes, I'm gonna restrain myself from looking up spoilers, as I cant have Halo 3 until christmas! Boo...

Mojo 09-23-2007 04:04 AM

Just a few days left for me XD.

Mac Sirloin 09-23-2007 06:44 AM

You're a dick, Mojo.

I can't wait for the release, honestly.
Because pelting the people camping for copies with eggs is going to be fun to record.

Mojo 09-23-2007 08:12 AM

Quoted for Truth.

OANST 09-23-2007 08:58 AM

Master Chief is Samus. The Flood were created by the Space Pirates and metroids power the halos.

Quoted for Truth.

and thus the cycle is complete.

Daxter King 09-23-2007 09:38 AM

I still don't see why what I posted was a spoiler.

Mac Sirloin 09-23-2007 12:30 PM

Me neither.

I thought it was from another game, actually.

"thats not Mjolnir armour! WTF?"

Hey, does it say on the box THIS IS INSIDE?

No?

Then it's a spoiler as far as I care.

Leto 09-23-2007 04:49 PM

Seems really ridiculous that Halo gets it's own spoiler policy on an Oddworld forum.

Nate 09-23-2007 08:56 PM

It's not a special policy; it's a newish policy that is for all spoilerfest topics; whether they be Halo, Oddworld movies or whatever.

Leto 09-24-2007 12:26 AM

Ok, induced by Halo. You crazy hooligans.

Mac Sirloin 09-24-2007 04:09 AM

More like Halogans.

LOL!

Havoc 09-24-2007 09:17 AM

Boo! *dies* Frugging hell, I love Halo. Don't like the flood, hope they all die... wont know for a while though. Blah!
Off-topic: I love your sig Kastere.

Mac Sirloin 09-27-2007 11:55 AM

Which one? I changed it several times.

OT: I played it at school, it was Bad Ass.

Nate 09-27-2007 05:29 PM

Like that donkey who refused to cross the ford in Lancre?

Mac Sirloin 10-01-2007 09:46 AM

Exactly Like That Nate, EXACTLY like that.

Paramite of War 10-02-2007 03:04 PM

Thank you Mojo :)

Rupture Farms 10-04-2007 04:37 AM

This is a spoiler..

moxco 10-04-2007 09:45 PM

Awesom RF how did you do that?
Though thats not a very good way of hiding a spoiler because how are we to know whats under there without revealing it.

Rupture Farms 10-04-2007 10:30 PM

I'm a newbie here, and I already know heaps about this awesome place!

SPOILERS: Hover mouse over black patch to read.
wrap, [ spoiler ] ... [ /spoiler ] tags around the desired "spoilers". And of course, don't use spaces; I'm only using them because there's no other way to reveal them.. :)

Seeing as I sort of came up with this, acknowledgements would be more than welcome? :D

Nate 10-05-2007 12:42 AM

Sad to say, this was already well known in the Employee Lounge. We were waiting for Our Glorious Leader to get off his arse and put an icon on the reply boxes before announcing it.

Rupture Farms 10-05-2007 01:00 AM

Oh....damn. Oh well! :)

Hobo 10-07-2007 10:57 AM

Peter Likes Children

Sorry, just testing it

Paul 10-07-2007 11:28 AM

why dont you add spoiler tag bb code? like the quote/code ones?

Rupture Farms 10-07-2007 04:53 PM

This thread is useless now! :D

Nate 10-07-2007 07:57 PM

So why in Patrick Vykker's name are you posting?

Hobo 10-07-2007 11:40 PM

I have another test
:tard:EDIT: Damn didn't work

Laser 10-08-2007 07:42 AM

SPOILER!!!!!

How long do you think it took RF to work this out?

SPOILER!!!!!

0 seconds. As soon as I read the name of this thread. I already knew how to do this on a different vBulletin powered forum. So yeah, 0 seconds.

:happy:

Hobo 10-10-2007 12:08 PM

SPOILER Enough with the testing
