Just a suggestion for a rule that´s implemented on most other forums
as it makes a lot of sense:
Spoilers ONLY can be posted using spoiler tags.
I´d hate to get another game ending ruined by someone NOT using them.

That doesn't make sense if you're talking about a thread that's solely for discussion of a game's ending though. If it's just a general thread about a game, sure, but you're just trying to blame your own mistake on me.

Nope. I just don´t expect to actually SEE spoilers
(not even in a thread made just for discussion about the ending(s) of the game)
when the forum DOES have spoiler tags.
Some forums even issue bans when people don´t use the tags as it´s quite a big issue.

Really, it's purely your own fault for entering a clearly marked thread.

Not really as you didn´t leave enough space after saying you won´t use tags Wink
I´m not gonna argue about this, it´s not worth it.
This thread isn´t about you and your thread…but spoilers in general.

It´s a very simple rule (using spoiler tags for all spoilers)

and avoids people getting their new game spoiled accidently.

I agree, Phizzy you've ruined Heavy Rain for me before I've even bought it, as I now know who the killer is, kinda makes it pointless me playing it. A use of the spoiler tag option would have made been sensible.

I can, but I'm an ass burger. Anyway, I don't know who the killer is, and have no interest in this game, but I'm all in favour of mandatory spoiler tags for major plot thingummyjigs. If you don't lock the medicine cabinet of information then sooner or later some information junkie is going to rifle the contents and sue you for the ensuing overdose.

Yeah I can read headers, and OK little spoilers are fine, do this, find this here, do that and what have you, but naming the killer straight out is a pisser dude.

I guess it makes sense for people to use the spoiler functions where possible.

Human error though is going to happen, so keep that in mind when delving into a thread which has spoiler in the title.
