Title: Spoilers in avatars/sigs
Post by: dhakkel on December 15, 2007, 01:59:21 am
Can you do something about spoiler images in avatars/sigs, please? I had a friend just ask if this guy's (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=467) avatar was real and I wasn't sure what to tell him :(. Either YES IT IS and ruin the game or NO IT ISN'T and lie :(.

So yeah, can we disallow them? At least until the game is a little older :(.

Hmm, for the time being, you can go to Profile/Look and Layout Preferences and check "don't show users' avatars" and "don't show users' signatures."

Oh wow. Glad I got past the point where that could have been a spoiler for me. I've been trying to avoid spoilers and complete the game quickly. But I don't really want to rush...

Yeah, I basically beat it in one 16-hour sitting before coming here just so nothing would be spoiled :D.

But yeah, for those of us less strong-willed against coming to forums and looking at pictures, a rule against spoileriffic avs/sigs would be nice. I've told all my friends to turn off sigs/avatars if they come here, but yeah I'm sure there are some people who wont :x.

Interesting thought.  It never really occurred to me... but hopefully what I've got can't be considered a spoiler?  I mean, I guess it could be considered seeing something you might not have yet seen in the game, but I don't think it qualifies as a spoiler.  If you feel otherwise, though, let me know and I'll change it post haste.

Omg, I'm so sorry, I didn't meant to do that at all. >_<
I'm changing it now, apologies for all.  :'(

EDIT: But wait, Isn't like EVERY screen taken from the game a spoiler?

No, Alphasoldier, not really. Stuff that has no bearing on the story is probably fine? I don't think people would care if they saw a jellyfish or a horseshoe crab or whatever.

Seeing a human, especially one cuddling Naija is a pretty big spoiler, though :D.

Yeah, probably best not to spoil that one....

Well, seeing... erm, SPOILER ALERT


That you can cuddle with Li anytime you want when you found him which I did right when I came to the Veil, I didn't thought it would be THAT big of a spoiler.. But I guess the people who haven't played it yet does get spoiled for.

I'll keep it in the back for when it IS allowed.

No, its the existence of Li that is the spoiler. :)

Yeah, a lot of people had no idea he'd be in the game.  I sort of half knew by accident, but it was still something of a surprise to see him in the game and see how he worked.

Yeah, no worries, I wasn't like ATTACKING YOU personally with this topic or anything, I just wanted to know the official stance on it.

So yeah, I guess if we see anymore we report them or what?
