Spoiling Sons of a Bitches...

Post by MKSheppard »

I am getting annoyed with people shouting spoilers involving
ep 3 in completely unrleated threads, like in the Jedi Outcast thread
in Gaming and Computing. I can avoid PSW, but I don't expect spoilers
in G&C, for gods sake!

Such people should get a VERY deragatory title; I'm thinking "Spoiling
Son of a Bitch"

Do you agree?

No.

But they should be publically chastised by the mods for such, something which should be done more in general I feel.

I would think it's implied in the title, if something's about JK2, it stands to reason there will be spoilers.

I expect spoilers about the plotline of JK2, not Episode 3 for fucks sake!

Sorry, I missed that bit. :oops:

In that case, I should think spoilers are allowed, as long as they are in size 2 and accompanied by a warning or some such.

I am of the mind that perhaps we should give them the title until EpIII is out, the removing it...I think some kind of action should be taken. I don't mind cast spoilers and shit, but not plot spoilers. (However, to be quite honest, I'm not expecting much in the way of coolness if the first two were any measure.)
Question:
Was there never a novelization equivalent to episode 1, 2, and 3? That's weird, if it is....20 years+ With no development of what happened to the characters before ANH? So GL made the shit up in the last few years with a few close friends advising him?
"Uhh, yeah, George but that guy, Anakin, right? We want to make him a cute kid who can't act...then, In episode 2, let's make him an annoying dipshit who OVERacts, then, in episode three, let's make him...."
"Oh, and I got this idea for some fish people...and they're all idiots, mmm kay? Wait, wait, before you throw this idea out...just listen for a sec...okay?"

The rest is history.

It's true that people shouldn't have to be told not to spoil plot developments for others. Do these guys walk out of a theatre loudly blabbing about crucial plot developments in front of the people waiting in line?

I'm still inclined to vote nay, except for repeat offenders. Then we title 'em.

I think they should have their avatars changed to a picture of an Ass, either the donkey or the butt whicherver is better suited.

Then they'd just change it back or remove it.

Better to just publically humiliate them. Humiliation is second to pain as the best behavior modifier... ;)

No titles or avatars needed. Just a good smack with one of these. *holds up a quirt*

Spoilers should not be posted outside of threads meant for them. Violators should be titled. The simpler the policy the better.
