myrmaad Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Not when I'm in there. I will put you out for posting spoilers, and everybody who knows me knows I have made this statement many times. I don't like Spoilers either. This has long been my policy. Old chat logs will prove this. Don't let me catch you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myrmaad Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Here's clarity. If you post a spoiler, while I'm in the chat room of if I hear of it when I'm not in the chat room, expect a strike or a ban. I will probably give you a warning. This is not a new rule, this is an informal rule we have enforced on the site by editing spoiler posts. I have been moderating the chat since its inception, and I've been consistent on this throughout. Clear enough for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The chat moderation system still applies: If you make us think you're an idiot you probably won't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I think this thread illustrates what a minefield the chatroom is. One more reason to steer clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansaltman Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It usually is fine during the day, when you get further into the night the mods aren't there to make sure trolls and pirates and such stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a posting the informal rules so that they are actual rules? That would be clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrmaad Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 We have forums that are dedicated to posting spoilers for a reason. http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/forum/178-oblivion-spoilers/http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/forum/284-fallout-3-spoilers/http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/forum/298-dragon-age-spoilers/http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/forum/349-new-vegas-spoilers/ etc..If it's not posted in one of those forums, we generally will wrap it in spoilers for you if you have forgotten and when a kind soul reports it. Spoiler tags do not work in the Chat Room. The rules for the chat room are on the 'door' and you can't even enter until you agree: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c117/SeaBlossom/nexstuff/wedontplaytechnicalityChess.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a posting the informal rules so that they are actual rules? That would be clear. This. A slightly less simple solution would be to make spoiler tags work in the chat. And flay people alive for not using them. And as Thandal said, if you come to a gaming forum you have to expect some spoilers to escape the moderator's editing powers. Even more so in the chat, as it is the untamed wilds of the Nexus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrmaad Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 This was not a situation with a random stray spoiler. This was a game of posting spoilers. Let me make it super simple, this is the only rule you need to worry about: If a member of staff (noticeable by the colour of their names; blue, green or red) tells you to stop doing something then stop doing it. Don't argue about it as you'll probably get banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
