When the game comes out, I think we need a sticky telling people not to post spoilers

[A2597]

I move that the fist five topics are STICKY, use a vBulliten hack that allows them to be in color, with a halo effect, bolded, and increased in font size, all of them saying
"DO NOT POST SPOILERS"
the last one refering them to a special spoiler forum....

i'm sure all HL2 forums will be dead when HL2 is released.

There's an easy solution to this: Make it absolutely 100% clear that ANY spoilers must be marked as such:

At least 1 "SPOILER WARNING" in title.
At least 10 lines of bolded *SPOILER* beginning a spoiler-laiden post, so peoples eyes cant wander down to the post unless they scroll.

Anything less is an IP ban.

no, there are ALWAYS lamers that INSIST on ruining the plot....

Something will be figured out a couple days before Hl2 comes out.... whenever it may.

abomination, hope you read this, but this is an excellent suggestion:

make a seperate forum just for spoilers, heh. solve all your problems right away.

i have an idea...

you post a spoiler on the wrong fourms, your automatically banned.

yeah it sounds harsh but one lil spoiler can some times ruin parts of the game for people...which sucks for alot of people;x

The trouble would be in automating that process. You wouldn't want to ban inoccent people, just as you want it to detect them all.

no, like once a mod sees a spoiler in the wrong spot, then he/she is banned on the spot

Oh, my mistake sorry. Although, that could be one hell of a job for the mods.

 

[x84D80Yx]

there will be much more mods watching the fourms when hl2 is out i bet, but yeah i guess it will be hard as hell to catch every single spoiler spammer
