Veilguard reviews are dropping Oct 28th. We'll be entering a launch period where multiple threads will be discussing story and character spoilers.
We all need to be on top of what spoilers are and how to use 'Spoiler Tags'.
If it relates to the story and characters and if you were unaware of it before launch (it wasn't in trailers and BioWare promotional material) then it's a spoiler.
SPOILERS:
NOT SPOILERS
The icon to make a spoiler tag is the triangle up on the bar.
Then just fill in the text as you require and insert it.
(you can edit the BBCode afterwards if you want to add additional content or formatting)
If you stop now, your spoiler will look like this, and that's a problem.
Because how does anyone know what's behind the tag? They don't.
It's worse for the many Guests that read the forum, at least registered members can ask.
So please add an indication of what the spoiler tag contains in a non-spoilery way,
then people will feel more confident opening (or deciding not to open) spoiler tags.
If posters get into the habit of making short "[Contains:..." prefaces, that encourages good habits and makes our experience more enjoyable.
And if another poster drops a tag without any indication of what it is, ask.
And if people start wildly dropping spoilers untagged, please hit 'report' on the post and a MOD will swing by in due course.
Any questions?
