Title: This is a NO SPOILERS zone
Post by: iago on May 25, 2006, 06:09:14 PM
This board does NOT allow spoilers of any kind to be posted.  Please direct any spoiler topics to the appropriate spoilers board (found here (http://www.jim-butcher.com/bb/index.php/board,3.0.html)). 

The general rule when determining whether or not something is a spoiler is this:


If you answered "yes" to ANY of the above questions, it counts as a spoiler.  Take it to the correct board.

Moderators will not take kindly to anyone ignoring this policy, willfully or on accident.  Post thoughtfully.

Added April 6, 2007:
We now have a spoiler tag; use it whenever you're posting something with a small amount of spoiler content on a non-spoiler board, or if you're posting an "off-topic spoiler" for a particular spoiler board (for example, if you talk book spoilers on the TV show spoiler board, the book stuff should be inside a spoiler tag).

Spoiler tags when used properly will look like this:

(click to show/hide)

To activate the code, use the radiation symbol in the posting toolbar, or use the tags SPOILER & /SPOILER inside square brackets [].

It may also be a good idea to state what the spoiler is from, so the audience knows whether they can proceed or not.

Please make sure to "preview" your posts and make sure that the spoiler tag is working correctly.
It breaks down to this:
ON-TOPIC SPOILERS ON A SPOILER BOARD: Do not need the tag.

OFF-TOPIC SPOILERS ON A SPOILER BOARD (e.g., book spoilers in a TV spoiler forum): Need the tag.

IN-LINE SPOILERS IN A NON-SPOILER THREAD: Need the tag. Note: This supercedes the “No Spoilers at all” rule…if it’s in the tag, you’re ok. But it has to remain in the tag.

Or my text for that matter.  FWIW, I'm using Firefox.

This has already been explained and troubleshot elsewhere.  Please look for the threads.
Title: If you want to talk spoilers in the context of the RPG...

... please use the new sub-board, the RPG Spoiler Quarantine Zone:

http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/board,31.0.html

While in that zone, you can talk about anything, but since people outside of that board can see the latest topic title, please do NOT put spoiler information in your post titles.

Thanks!
