New Rule for the forum. No Spoilers in Thread Titles.
A new rule has just been added in the rules section. Effective immediately.
- SPOILERS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN TITLES! Be creative in how you post a title. You can use titles such as "The Death of ....." and so on. Because we're using external feeds now, no post titles should have spoilers. You can get around this, it's not too hard. Use your best judgement.
We're installing some new technical systems that will show threads external to the site now and to make things easier, we don't want any spoilers on the outside.

Do you want us to go back through and edit offending titles?

No, only if they appear in the "What's new section". They'll be in an rss feed that will show up elsewhere.

Well anytime someone posts in an old thread it ends up in What's New. That's why I was concerned.

We'll keep an eye out. I haven't seen too many major spoilers in titles.

The only one that I changed recently was "Nuke Boulder?" --- yeah, too soon.

A reference to microwaving a large rock?

I hear you can cook the fuck out of an egg on a microwaved boulder.

Do the wiki updates come up on these external sites?
Just saw the update today for Nuclear Bomb in the chat box.

Yeah, that will. Oh well. That's not huge. I would rather have the wiki titles be correct than worry about the RSS feed on the main website.
