Victory Element Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) lets gets this striaght now, i am ok with spoilers before the game actually comes out, but i hate spoilers after people have beat the campaign. I am proposing the idea of blocking all topics about the halo 4 campaign for little while after the game is released. I think there should be like a 4 week cushion from the time halo 4 is released til members can post topics about the halo 4 campaign. I plan on visiting this site before i finish the campaign, and i would hate to get it spoiled. I want to be able to view the halo 4 section without seeing a whole page of topics about the ending of the campaign. This cushion would give players time to finish the campaign(considering a lot of members will be in school during november) and it would prevent spilers as i said, i dont want to come on this site, go to the halo 4 section, and find a whole page of topics that spoil half the campaign for me. The cushion seems like a good way to prevent spoilers for the first few weeks, and by the end of it, i assume most people would have finished the campaign. If people support this idea, we can get the mods to put tthis into action what are everyones thoughts on this?? if its possible to control and organize spoilers, i dont see why it would be a problem to do so.

Mr Biggles Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Agreed, i don't want to see spoiler after spoiler. Nice idea, Victory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I don't agree at all. We shouldn't prevent people who have finished the campaign from being able to talk about it, especially not for four weeks - that's a huge amount of time to censor something. A better system would be making it compulsory to tag spoiler threads with 'Spoiler' or something similar, and discourage people from putting spoilers into thread titles. Perhaps we could also try and restrict users from posting spoilers outside of dedicated threads, so that you aren't browsing a thread about the new Battle Rifle and find a post saying 'I thought the way Chief shot the Didact with the Battle Rifle and killed him was cool', or whatever. I would hate for people to accidentally find out what happens in the campaign without playing it for themselves, and people shouldn't have to cut themselves off from the forum to avoid that. But people also shouldn't be stopped from discussing the story just because others haven't gotten as far as them. In short, a blanket ban just hurts one set of players instead of the other, and making sure that there are no spoilers in thread titles and making sure people are given fair warning that threads contain spoilers BEFORE they start reading them is a much better solution for everyone involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterTeethFan Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 i think there should be a spoiler filled topic for all things campain at least for the first weeks called spoiler filled campain discussion that way if you havent played campain then dont click on it but no talk of the campain will be outside this topic its a win win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skummgummigubbe Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 they can make a new section named HALO 4 campaign + spoiler so that's the only place to post topics about the halo campaign and aslo spartan ops and other, so those who don't want to see any spoilers don't entering that section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikslik7 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 there should be a 4 week no public spoiler timeframe, except for one thread the is titled "Spoiler-Halo 4 Campaign" and another "Spoiler-Halo 4 Spartan Ops", so people that want to get that info, can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkNazo Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 All (and I mean ALL) of the Halo's were ruined for me before I got to even touch the case. I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra1117 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 How about we type(wait for it) Spoiler Alert!, that way nothing will be spoiled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 The only problem Sierra1117 is that just as on the Bungie forums when Reach came out, people would type a false title and put spoilers in the body of content intentionally. It would seem that these forums are more mature, however, there will still be those people out there who wish to ruin things ofr others at times. I agree that if people beat the game that they should be allowed to share their feeling and opinions, ask questions and talk about the game. Those who post a false title and include spoilers intentionally without a spoiler alert I think should have a 48 hour ban. If it happens again than they get a 1 week ban etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEF214 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 If you're terrified of spoilers when the game is released, don't search for Halo 4 stuff on the internet and forums. It's like saying I don't want to get attacked by a shark, yet you jump into the water where they are. There will always be idiots who intentionally want to spoil others. All though spoilers don't irritate or disturb me at all, it would be nice for spoiler-related content to be in a specfic area. Tread carefully, but don't whine and complain when you've been spoiled, because when it comes down to it, it's your own fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Pilot Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Just make a new forum topic. Simple enough. I am probably going to beat the campaign in a couple days so it does not really matter to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yeah a Halo 4 Spoilers Filled forum topic would be a good idea to at least try and separate the spoliers form non spoilers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens again than they get a 1 week ban etc. thats one of the problems. People screw around with titles and stuff just to annoy people and this shouldnt have to be a problem. And just the title of a topic can spoil it, for example "Why did Chief have to die (SPOILERS)". even if a title says spoilers, it can spoil it all.

I am a dedicated member on these forums and i try to check in as much as possible. if i want to start a topic about war games soon after H4 is released, your telling me i shouldnt come on here to post it at all. If its possible to control and organize the spoilers, then i dont see why doing so would be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I disagree, I'm sorry. With the games that are being released, I prefer to know as much of what I'm up against as possible. In my eyes, what they have released so far is just perfect. It covers gameplay, maps, weapons, functions, and campaign scenes, but without showing too much. I say keep it up. If you don't like the frequent "spoilers", then simply don't read the threads that contain them. It's simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like reading spoiler topics at this point in time. I just dont want to have the entire thing spoiled once H4 is released i think there should be a spoiler filled topic for all things campain at least for the first weeks called spoiler filled campain discussion that way if you havent played campain then dont click on it but no talk of the campain will be outside this topic its a win win. sorry i didnt recognize this before, but i actually think its a great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 That is a really good idea. If anyone ruins anything for me they will pay for it. If you are going to talk about the campaign then you better put a big sign on the top of your thread that says SPOILER ALERT : HALO 4 CAMPAIGN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Bullet that is fine for some, and myself included, however, some people do not want to know anything about H4. People should not post spoliers with the intention of ruining aspects for others. If there are spoilers, one should say there are spoilers included.

WonderWombat Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 The mods could make a new subform names Halo 4 Cheats, Hints, and Spoilers Then try to avoid the forums for a while if you don't think you can handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Boo Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well, it's been mentioned before. Halo 4 spoilers can have an easy-to-see label on the thread name. Those that don't want spoilers would not click on said thread. It's hardly an issue in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderWombat Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 the first thing you said is an alternate solution that i like I definitely didn't steal the exact name (except Halo 4) from a different forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Personally i agree I dont like spoilers at this point in time, there should be a new topic area that says Spoilers Allowed, that way all spoilers can go in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I personally think we can leave it in the hands of the members. If someone is going to ruin things, I'm sure you can get the jist before you go on reading the topic. "So in the end..." I'd stop reading there. Personally, I pop my Halo games in as soon as I get them. I play the campaign as long as possible until I beat it. I don't go onto sites because I am intrigued by the new game and must play it. I can't possibly take a break from the campaign to check in on here. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thread EVER. I hate those kind of spoilers. Once you've seen them, they can't be unseen and it practically ruins your element of suprise and you know what to expect. There's no real exciting feeling in it when you know what's coming. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
