Winter Event pt 2 SPOILER FREE ZONE

That's a good idea, the only thing is, people who don't like spoilers will see them in the threads made in general discussion anyway when people put it in th thread title.
Personally spoilers don't bother me in anyway, there's no overarching story to this that it would ruin by finding things out but there are some people that do care- and whilst I do like this idea and know its been done in good faith. I don't personally think it will work in the premise of stopping spoilers being seen

That's why this is stickied at the top.

It may work, it may not, but I still think it's simpler than expecting every thread in the forum to have a spoiler tag.

when is level 49 coming out lol

Great idea, Neuro!

Bump since phase two has officially started, and spoilers are starting to appear from those who rushed the first tasks.

I'm trying something else, because the system of expecting everything to be spoiler tagged does not work. Excited posters might forget, or not think about it, or presume that everyone is at a certain point in the story. The number of complaints about spoilers tells me that something else needs to be done.
It's far easier to monitor one thread for spoilers than all of them. I'm not willing to monitor all of them for discussion that is (and is expected to be) detailed, but I'm happy to monitor one. Trying to do that isn't "segregation," it's being considerate without the unreasonable expectation that everyone in the world will censor themselves on a discussion board, just on the off chance that someone isn't as far in the quest as them. Sorry if you don't appreciate that.

The issu that THIS thread solves is that it is not humanly possible to UNsee something. It doesn't create a divide. It offers an important option for a portion of our forum that wants to play a different way than another portion.

I see this as a safe haven for someone who wants to be sure to enjoy the progression of the game, but not know what the future will bring. More like presents under a Christmas tree, unwrapped one at a time and savored. When I ENTER this thread, I know from the thread title to be especially diligent.

The rest of the forum is like intersections with no stop signs in any direction, where everyone is expected to know to slow down and look for cross-traffic. Most remember, most of the time. But some forget. The moderators work as quickly as possible, but by the time the reminder goes out, its too late. Spoilers are revealed. Can't be unseen.

This thread has a stop sign. :)

The majority of the forum members fall somewhere in between. For someone looking for every bit of spoiler they can find, we can scrounge through every thread on multiple forums. And just as I can read dozens of OTHER threads, I am welcome to read this one.

There's a difference between supporting diversity and fostering divisiveness.

@lgcognita ... I DID totally agree with your (eloquent) post at the beginning of the event, in a thread in a different section of the forum. Not sure why I feel so different this time, except this one doesn't seem to create the chasm the other one did.

Duplicate post.

I think it's important to add here that not all forum members are aware of the way we've been doing things - new members and relatively new members simply just don't realize that they may be posting a spoiler, or that some people don't want to see spoilers. I don't mind spoilers, but I think that this is a nice alternative for those who want to keep their game play spoiler free.

BUMP because it doesn't seem like it's working! :roll:
