that is it mods, i am calling you guys out. I don't care what happens. You have done a -blam!- horrible job at damage control. Locking the thread and banning the user is not enough when the spoiler is the the title. You guys need to step the -blam!- up. I am disappointed in your lack of control.

there is nothing you can do about the user names, but you can sure as hell change the title of the thread
-redacted, even if you deserved it-

This is like blaming volunteer firefighters for not reupholstering someone's house because they got there 5 minutes after it happened instead of 30 seconds.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

So many locks . . .

If there is a carpet ban, I just hope I don't get caught in the mix of it.

its the principle.

mods should at least warn people that their going to do a carpet ban


Carpet bans are a controversial topic, and they do take more time to carry out than just banning and lock the OP and warning everyone else.

But I think there are very obvious cases where they should be permitted, and this is one of them IMO.

There was a blatantly obvious warning at the top of the forum about leaks not being permitted (well, maybe not so obvious in its title until you click it). Then there is the fact it's mentioned in the rules that people are supposed to read when they sign up.

I'm not saying I'm the goody two-shoes who doesn't break a rule here or there, but if there's one thing I know it's to not bump a bad thread to the top of the forum.

There is just no reason to. If you're the first reply and there is something hidden in the OP, make your warning and then leave. It's the rest of the poster's responsibility to report the thread and not post in it.

We'd see more mature behavior like this if the account creation process was more thorough. Optimatch didn't have nearly as much problems because it required a linked tag.

Bro. Mods aren't always on, and this situation will never be handled completely anyways.

Calm the -blam!- down. I can attest that no usernames have been real spoilers.

The Flood has angered the Mods!

I'm staying off of there for a while, I posted in a thread that got immediately locked afterwards.

I'd be angry too if I was a mod who was forced to spoil the game to do my community service.

It really sucks but it's something we have to live with.

Also, I can understand a mod's not wanting to carpet ban, but, assuming they have the proper authority (I don't know the specific differences between vanilla and master), deleting a post is just a click of a button.

I also understand the not wanting to set a precedent of "we'll just clean up your mess", but at the same time if you're not going to carpet ban at least delete posts of people who've also spoiled within a thread.

(If you've already been doing this, my apologies.)
