I suggest, a few days or a week before halo 2 comes out, making a perma sticky (permanent sticky) especially for halo 2 spoilers, that has been ultra modified, so the the subject line in the forums, is twice the size as the others. This way, new members could easily pick it out from the rest of the posts and hopefully do the right thing.
The way they handled the ILB and now Halo2.com things was actually pretty good too. That's why i think this plan might work. I've never seen a thread fill up past 1000 posts so fast. I think if people can do that for halo 2 as well, it might be just that little bit safer.
Also, I think it's just a matter of knowledge. I doubt some of these new members even know what a spoiler means. Maybe if we use some more 'easier' words instead of words like 'spoiler', we might have more luck. I don't know of any synonyms for that word in particular, but i'm sure that we might find some in the next two weeks.
A forum lockdown though, would give mods a chance to play the game. But it would deter new members from comeing in. And the bungie fan base, as stated before, is ever growing. I sware there are at least 50 new members a day here. Some who've been here for about a week, or some who've been here for more than a year, but only joined recently. And no doubt, that theres gona be a bungie.net link somewhere in the game weather it be the credits, or the main menu which would bring them here. But who wants to join something, if it's not doing anything?
And finally, just as a random suggestion for mods, if the place doesn't go into lockdown, I would like to see a 'Donate to Bungie/Mods' or a 'Tips' button somewhere on the page. I would donate for sure. Mods deserve to get paid. They do a lot of work, and sacrifice there eyes to all the coughbull-blam!-cough that goes on in the forums, and I see it as the least we can do to repay them. Or at least so they can buy some sorta drug so they forget all about the spoilers that they read.
edit - this post was suppost to be short =/ heh.
