Because the "Console Games - Help" forum has been merged with this one, all of us will now have to start getting used to having game spoilers posted in here.

Since nobody likes to be surprised by game spoilers, I've gone ahead and added a new "Spoiler" tag for everyone to use.

Quite simply, it allows authors to include spoilers in their text, without having to post any advanced warnings. The tags are thus...

text containing spoilers here

Also, you'll now notice a new clickable button in the message editor toolbar when creating any new posts (in Advanced mode) or threads...

When creating a new post or thread with spoilers in it, simply highlight that section of text and click on the button. That's it !! :D:

Here is the result you'll see when using the new spoiler tags...

Proof-positive that Microsoft can hype a game (http://forums.gamers.org/showthread.php?t=3333) with the best of 'em. :lol:

Super sweet and super easy. So please be courteous to your fellow forumites by using the spoiler tags whenever you post something that may even be considered a spoiler.

Thanks !! :thumbup:

That's one hell of a spoiler warning system you've got going there !! :eek:


There's been more than one occasion where I'd wished authors would have used it, instead of unexpectedly launching into major plot spoilers. :yes:

Well, I'm not the first to use it, and I have to say, this new spoiler tag thing definitely saves on the clutter. Plus, the spoiler tags help for people that don't want to be tempted to read the spoiler while they're scrolling through the thread; unfortunately, people (like me :): ) are tempted to read the spoiler with every !!!SpoilerWarning!!! label they see :p:
