Getting to hear how the end to a hotly anticipated game goes can be a real bummer. It happened to me with Modern Warfare 2, it was unfortunate that the post was not nipped in the bud sooner, but of course these threads can come at any time and there is always someone out there who wants to be a dick.
But my problem is not with the people who make the posts.
IT'S WITH THE MORONS THAT KEEP POSTING IN THE THREAD, BUMPING IT SO EVERYONE ELSE GETS TO SEE IT.
Yes it's sad that a major plot point was spoiled for you, but that doesn't mean everyone else should suffer the same.
If a spoiler thread is made and you're unfortunate enough to see it, just mark it for moderation and then move on, you twat.
People posting in spoiler threads should be suspended.
[edit] by spoiler thread I mean when someone signs up to Giant Bomb with the sole intention being to spoil a game's plot. The spoiler will often be in the thread title.
e.g. "Vader is Skywalker's daddy"
Spoiler threads.

First of all, aren't they supposed to have "SPOILER ALERT" in their topic? Second, are you al3xand3r's alt? "He's refering to the thread some troll made with a FF13 plot spoiler in the title. It was purely made to piss people off.
And i wholeheartedly agree Alexander.
" @demontium said:I may just be weird like that but heck it just takes a looooot more to "piss me off" than a simple spoiler for a game.First of all, aren't they supposed to have "SPOILER ALERT" in their topic?

Also, the end is not important for me, the journey there is
Suspension for a day sounds good, I guess. I had FF13 spoiled for me also, since people kept bumping it.
When something like this happens, use the PM All link to send a mass PM to all moderators, and one of us will handle the thread and the offending user shortly.
Bumping threads like those does no one any good, and actually makes the negative impact of such a thread even worse by continuing to expose the spoiler to more readers.
