Reminder to all

Post by Frogmander »

USE SPOILER TAGS FOR GODS SAKE, I don't want to know that you got some secret invitation to Bethesda and know the ending to the game. I had been trying hard not to watch the opening videos but a certain person forgot to use spoiler tags and so now I already know the beginning.

Here's how to use spoiler tags:
[ spoiler ] Text [ /spoiler ]
(Remove spaces)

Example:
Spoiler:
Text
There's really no excuse not to and it's common courtesy.

Maybe the thread wasn't about it, and someone just decided to throw spoilers around? If they are on a forum they should learn how to use it, and be considerate to other, or at very least say "Spoiler alert!". Plus the game isnt even out yet and there wasn't a beta, I really wasn't expecting to see any major spoilers.

You asked a thread asking for info on the game, that right there is a Spoiler, you asked when the dragons start aprring randomly (yes i did read the thread) and he gave you an awnser that had evreython to dop with your question as
Spoiler:
the first dragon is at the start, and you aksed when do they apear

Could he of used the Spoiler? sure but he is not the only one at fault here, what did you think pepole are going to do?

Im not going to go in to a thread that says, "Who is Dragon borns father" in till i know, and i sure wont make one if I dont want to be spoiled

I'm assuming its a 3rd post in the Main Quest thread?

Yeah got me too..
What's even worse? I wanna see it now and can't find it...maybe I can cause temporary amnesia by repetitive hits to the cranium.

He asked a question, we shouldn't have to assume any risk of a spoiler by wanting to help.

Should he have warned us? yes, but he's new and didn't know; he even apologized
Should you have made another thread just to gripe about it? HECK NO

Thank you, Jeff! I'm with Wolfie on this as well.
Your on a forum in a section about a game that hasn't come out yet. What do you expect? I mean don't get me wrong it's a courtesy but I also see it as a luxury considering what the wiki is.
I seriously don't get why people say spoiled. Your gonna interpret your experience with the game in your own way. No amount of anyone telling me the DB beginning is gonna dim how I react when I play the game. It's all in your perception and experience.

An even bigger reminder to all: use patience and help your fellow new members learn the ins and outs of this forum! Instead of throwing a hissy fit when someone doesn't use spoiler tags, kindly explain to them how to use it and why we have the spoiler feature.

If your heart simply cannot handle the kindness and patience, send a moderator a PM so we can do it for you. If you are unsure of any forum features, please also feel free to send us a PM or to ask in our new members FAQ thread.

UESP is a nice forum and we run a pretty sweet ship here. Please keep it that way or you'll be hearing from me.

Now go forth and make real, nice posts. Go, go!
Huzzah!
