    Question Do we need spoiler tags here?

    I like video games, I guess that we all do and hence why we're here. Unfortunately I don't get as much time as I would like to play said games what with a job, the missus and other commitments pulling on my time etc.

    One thing that I've noticed here on Hexus is that someone creates a thread about some spanky new title (lets take COD4 as our example) just before release and everyone jumps on it, posting opinions, performance considerations and general buzz about the game - all is well. Then, two days later *bam*, the thread is littered with unannounced spoilers. I've been spoilt on a couple of occasions; BioShock (where someone retrospectively amended the thread title once spoilers crept in - better than nothing) and more recently on the afore mentioned COD4.

    Is it time to have spoiler tags?
    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    The butler did it! With an MP5, in the drawing room.

    And yeah I agree. Spoiler tags are needed. I saw people talking about the modified Crysis maps on another forum, and everyone was talking about all the weapons you can see that werent included in the demo. And a few people said, "Sounds cool but I wont get it because I like to be surprised when I'm playing the game". And then I come here and someone has posted screenshots of everything. Made me think about spoiler tags. (Not sure if they would cover up screenshots too or not, but it would be something atleast).
