Spoiler Policy Q&A thread
We are going to implement the following Spoiler Policy here at AnimeSuki. If you have any questions concerning the new policy please refrain from posting in any of the discussion threads (since it may be off-topic or it may be a spoiler in itself), ask your question in this thread instead.

Why cant we just trust people to have enough sense not to open spoiler tags when they are labeled spoilers?
I have a specific situation i wanted to ask about. in the Clannad thread, there is a discussion on the after story (the second season). Is it alright to mention things in the game about the after story there? |

Spoiler for manga:
I guess you could say that all policies are created in response to a perceived need. The answer to the "why can't we just trust people" question probably lies in that statement. Quote:

But then wouldn't that leave the Clannad after story thread to be just "OMG i cant wait!!!!11111oneoneone". Theres really no point in opening a thread early then if all spoilers are off limits.

Hope everyone gets the message.
I was spoiled big time in the Claymore section, all because manga readers wouldn't even bother with spoiler tags in the first place. :( I can see something similar starting in the Soul Eater forum too. >_< ! |
I just want a clarification that I hope is in my favor:

EDIT: To clarify, I'm not talking about favoritism wars such as "which anime is more dramatic, Kanon or Clannad" within a certain thread, but more civilized discussions that don't go completely off-topic. |

This would be a BAD example: Quote:
Please note also that certain threads may have additional restrictions about spoiler tags. Anime episode threads in particular tend to have more restrictions. So please be mindful of that. But yes, that exception was intended to allow for relevant comparisons like that, so long as everyone knows exactly what to expect when they click on the spoiler tags. |

Edit: beaten to it. *grumble* |
So shouldn't the emphasis be on using spoilers more correctly, than to say "no spoilers in anime threads ever". If you want to talk about what happens in the manga, then include chapter title to in the spoiler title. If you want to talk about the game, include what route. If you hate to be spoiled and are unsure, don't take the risk. This is just going to lead to more confusion and more arguments about what is bannable and who went over the blurry line.
Talking about future events aren't always off topic. There are conversations about what diverged from the source and how this will affect future events. Or talk about pacing about future events that were shuffled around. |

Actually, I think that including "Be careful when opening spoiler tags" would be wise, since like relentlessflame said, many of us tend to just open spoiler tags like it's an automatic thing, and sometimes we should be reminded at the severity of some spoilers.

As a fan of image threads, I am fully aware that I am gonna be exposed to images from characters that may or may not show in the animated version at any given time.
What gets me a bit is when people starts to comment on said images. :( Quote:

I mean, it's an image thread; Why discuss future events in such a place? :confused: |

By your use of "links" are you suggesting that I post the information as an HTML document somewhere else and link to it? That's not really an option for many people here. Or, are you focusing more specifically on graphics that can be stored on image sites? I realize that "hiding" a graphic inside a spoiler tag does no such thing, but hiding text can make sense in many cases. |

This new policy *might* be getting me *a* infractions >.< I do hope users label their information in spoilers properly now. |

Of course, I agree that instituting a hide tag would encourage people to use it instead of thumbnails for the reason that they figure we must mean it to be used that way if we bothered to create a whole tag for it. And I can't believe we're discussing this, instead of actually talking about the effect of a spoiler policy. It is unfortunate that this is relevant. Quote:

All I'm hoping is for this rule to punish posts starting now, because I might have broken the rule in earlier posts that I probably won't refer to ever again. One issue that may come up is there will be more usage of spoiler tags, which could or could not be a good thing, depending on the thread.

Im hoping with this people will start tagging properly and not just writing stuff like "manga" or "stuff from manga" get alittle more specific so members will known whether or not they want to click it or not. |
