SatanicBagels Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I agree wholeheartedly with this and also propose that the mods make a new pinned thread with all caps title to garner attention. But to be honest... this is a Halo forum and the only way your going to be able to avoid campaign spoilers is by staying away lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzdw11 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 While I like all of the proposed ideas in this thread, I just can't see any of them working well. Putting a ban on Halo 4 campaign talk is not the right answer, because that will just tick people off who've already beaten the game and want to discuss with others. Adding a "Spoiler Halo 4 Campaign" thread may work in theory, but we're going to have a massive influx of people who are not going to be aware of said thread, and just start creating new topics left and right, and what are we supposed to do then? Have the mods try and keep up with that? I don't think that is such a good idea. Making a whole new forum section seems like the best plan of attack, but at the same time, the above applies. Are new members going to see it? And is it worth it to have Twam and the mods monitor both that forum and the Halo 4 forum to move anything that contains spoilers? Sweamy has it right, and it's an unfortunate truth. The best way to avoid spoilers is to avoid the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Well, said. I always play without interruptions anyway. I can't risk my spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the people that will join this site right when the game comes out will be posting things up without a care. and unfortunately...... the best option comes down to just avoiding the forums..... i'm a little bit upset though. I'm starting at a new school in a few weeks and its supposed to be pretty tough. I'm sure my time for playing halo will get very limited so it may take a while for me to beat the new campaign. I just didnt want it to get spoiled for me and many others on the forums, but the possible solutions are getting limited. so, i guess it comes down to avoiding the site for a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Element Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well, looks like we got special sections now. and it looks great!! i guess the mods liked my idea but expanded on it a bit. and i'm sure having just one section for halo 4 will get overcrowded with topics once the game is released. thanks mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I agree Victory, the mods clearly noticed all of your thoughts on the subject. Either way, I dont mind spoilers, but I do not like when people spoil things for others. I will probably play War Games and grind like crazy for the first while until people figure out easy ways to get the campaign cheevos lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderWombat Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Adding a "Spoiler Halo 4 Campaign" thread may work in theory, but we're going to have a massive influx of people who are not going to be aware of said thread, and just start creating new topics left and right, and what are we supposed to do then? No, it works. My proof is the Bethesda forums. Though they would have to make campaign the spoilers section and leave general discussion as is.
