Guys, its not funny when you post a spoiler thread. Its worse when you put it in the title.

The fact i have to post a thread about this makes me extremely sad.

enjoi, why does it matter. The book is out, if someone is dumb enough to click it when they don't want to see what happens, why would they?

EDIT: And they werent trying to be funny they were talking about a book. =/

A spoiler gives information that you would recieve by watching/reading experiencing the said object, such as a tv show, movie, book, etc...
Basically giving the plot, ending, any other things away.

I'm posting this for TV shows, Movies, books, music, ANYTHING.

At least post that the thread is a spoiler and do not post the "spoil" in the title.

it just makes him feel cool that he can makes rules in this area... Cause obviusly there is something with posting "Spolier" in the topic title right?

He can make rules though, and your questioning his desicions is unacceptable.

I personally see nothing wrong with a thread "spoiling" a movie, book, etc. as long as the spoilers are within the thread itself and the title of the thread points out that there are spoilers in the thread. Particularly if the said spoilers are posted not just as spoilers, but to spur discussion perhaps about plot desicions and such. Sometimes it is unavoidable to include spoilers in a discussion about a movie, book, et al.

Although i appreciate the defense, i can handle it. ;)

BUT SDPIRATE SPOILED IT FOR ME BEFORE THE THREAD WAS DECLARED A SPOILER THREAD!

:(

im going to go cry about harry potter now...

soryy about the outburst. but it did sort of piss me off. seeing asi knew the ending like 2 days in advance.. and i had posted in the thread which soon became a spoiler thread but continued to receive emails about it since it was technically the same thread just with a different name..

Thats another thing, i don't read every thread, so if there is a spoiler in a thread or discussion is heading twoard speculation/spoilers then let me know. (PM,E-mail or aim)

yes please do not change threads that someone else started *cough cough ME cough cough* into spoiler threads when they are meant to be for entertainment purposes only and not spoilers. make a new thread and label it so people can read it if they want but still can talk about something in another thread without the potential to spoil it. i was very pissed when i saw that the thread i started turned into spoilers (that i accidentally read- no label argh) when that was not the reason i started the thread in the first place!

No its not. Thats like being a critic or questioning Osama Bin Ladens attacks on our US. Is that unacceptable?

cuz some of us LIKE harry potter. and it KILLS the suspense and the build up and the surprise and basically the book as a whole when some random kid ruins it for us by telling the ending.
