[SERIOUS] Debate on Spoiler rule

over 8 years

Some have requested that the spoiler rule is removed or modified in some way. Here we can debate the importance of the spoiler rule and hopefully come to a conclusion on it.

Here is the rule as it stands:

Spoiling a TV show or film within 3 days of the release of said episode or film without [spoiler][/spoiler] tags will result in a forum, chat and lobby suspension.

please don't take disciplinary actions against people that spoil films/shows/etc. just delete their posts and move on. the social stigma is enough of a punishment.


That sounds about right.

but in true to discussion if there is a time for being able to release spoilers such as a few days after airing, dont you think more people would be incline to spoil just to stick it to the man


That's a pretty good point, especially considering that we're in Sandbox, which isn't exactly known for its cordial rule abiding players.

Also I'd like to know why episodes or movies are considered above books and video games. So it's ok to spoil books and video games but not episodes or movies?

1. it's freedom of speech

2. If we make this a rule when it's not a rule in main lobby, we're slowly becoming more strict than main lobby

3. Some of us like to be douches and sandbox is where we release our douchey-behaviour

4. It wasn't a rule back in the old days, remove this rule and we will be one step closer to making sandbox great again

thank u

If you don't watch the show on time it is your responsibility to avoid spoilers.

you know the thing is sometimes people like arguing about a show or something and they cant even do that. unless the rule is only for cases where its someone getting out of their way to intentionally spoil someone, the rule is dumb.

its 2016, most of us have had social media for at least 5 years or more, at this point you need to know not to check social medias if you dont want to be spoiled, as well as games in which, you know, people talk

At the moment I am neutral towards the spoiler rule.
