    [​IMG] I'm just curious since you guys have to look in every topic to check for rule-breaking and whatsoever. So what about the spoiler topics? Do you sacrifice your gaming (or reading) experience to check it or do you leave them be, waiting until you've past that point in the game (or page in the book)?

    [​IMG] I really don't have time to read thoroughly every single topic - I only open each one and scan through it. Usually any rule-breaking sticks out like a sore thumb and is easily noticed. If anything of real interest catches my eye, I also read it. And besides, most things are not such huge spoilers that it'd make one bit of a difference if you read them or not. (And if they aren't, you'll forget about them by the time you get there in the game.) Also, we play the game pretty quickly, and usually finish it by the time bigger spoilers start appearing.

    Yeah, that's pretty much the same for me. I would prefer not to be spoiled on some surprising plot elements, but it doesn't really bother me.

    For example the whole Yoshimo thing in BG2. I think it would have been more fun if I had been surprised, but I still looked forward to it with anticipation when I came to that point knowing in general what was going to happen.

    [​IMG] Ah, so the spoilers don't bother you too much then. I guess it's just another sacrifice a moderator has to make. Thank you for answering my question. :)

    I was spoiled heavily. Regarding Desther. ARGH!

    And he didn't have a Spoiler Warning.
