A note about spoilers

[confused1]

Hey Joblo, I was just wondering if you could try to find a way to make sure people write "***SPOILERS*****" before they give away half of the movies I haven't seen yet--thanks!

I know it sucks,I've had at least 7 films ruined for me because some person didn't feel like putting the word spoiler before the spoiler.

VERY GOOD POINT, confused1!!!

Ever since I started writing my own reviews, I have NEVER mentioned ONE SPOILER throughout (this was done on purpose) because I was sick and fuckin' tired of other critics ruining my whole movie-going experience with 80% of their critiques based on describing the detail-by-detail events that went on in a movie.

And in respect to the forums, TRUST ME, we try our best to keep folks under that rule, but not everyone is up to date on the "Net rules" and sometimes we have to point it out to some folks. Feel free to do the same (in a respectful way, of course), because the only way that this board is gonna improve even more, is by EVERYONE'S commitment to loving and discussing movies!!! (btw, most folks usually go back and add the SPOILERS tag when you tell them...it's mostly because they aren't aware of the rule...)

BTW, the Arrow himself started a good RANT, RANT, RANT topic on this very topic here:

You took the words outta my mouth, I hate when I am reading and it gives the whole freakin movie away! The Screams were ruined that way for me and that is something I cant get back LOL!

I was on this one website, and all one had to do was click a check into this box if there was a spoiler included in the post, and the word "Spoiler" would appear on that person's post in red.


It was just like selecting a smiley face. /ubb/smile.gif


Of course, this may already exist and I just didn't know it.
