There is a spoiler function on this forum for a reason, please put it to good use. Below is how we expect you to use this function:
Spoiler for Beast below:
[spoil:7219eff547]Hello, this is a spoiler for Beast![/spoil:7219eff547]
LABEL what you are spoiling, don't just randomly use it without telling members what game it is spoiling inside. From now on, if you do not label your spoiler, I will delete your entire post. My ENTIRE Staff has permission to delete your entire post if you fail to follow this simple rule. No more exceptions.
If you are unsure as to what constitutes as a spoiler, then here you go:
- Any Rockman game (no matter the genre or platform) that has not been released in English for at LEAST 30 days.
- Any Rockman anime episode that has not been subtitled yet, or aired in english on TV.
See? Not that hard to understand. I'm sure you all will have no problem in correctly labeling your spoilers.
Thank you for reading.

Actually, I have a question on this one:

Does this extend to topics discussing raws episodes? It seems pretty odd to need to use the spoiler tag to mention events in Beast Episode 8, when you're in a topic discussing Beast episode 19, or to need to cover spoilers for Stream Episode 51 while talking about Beast Episode 1. I mean there's some assumption that if you're talking about a raw episode that you've either seen, or read summaries of the previous episodes. Plus it seems pretty ridiculous to use spoiler tags for Beast Episode 15, in a topic discussing Beast Episode 15, as by the very nature of the topic, spoilers for it being present is implicit. |

Since Beast hasn't been subbed nor hasn't been aired outside of Japan in English, I think that there is no question as to using the spoiler function in discussing events that happened in Stream 51 during a discussion of Beast. >_> I think Ryouko had pointed it out blatantly enough. |

I'm pretty sure that when we discuss Beast episodes, the spoiler warning should be right in the thread title itself.
For example:
Beast Episode 15 discussion thread (Spoilers) |

The only exception to not using the spoiler function is if the spoiler pertains to the thread title, which is clearly stated that spoilers for that subject are within the thread.
Any discussion other than what is precisely being discussed in that thread must have spoiler labels. So if you want to discuss Stream in a Beast thread, you need to use the spoiler function. Not everyone has seen every episode. _________________ "Cats are interesting. They're kind of like girls. When they come talk to you, it's great.

Ok, I can understand the Stream thing, but that still doesn't answer the rest of my question. Is the any need to use the spoiler function in regards to events that occur in Beast episode 8 during a discussion about Beast Episode 19? Shouldn't it be assumed that if you're looking at a discussion of the current episode, you've already seen, or seen the summaries of the past episodes in the series? It seems rather silly that it'd be required to use the spoiler function during a discussion of Beast 15, just to cover up anything that came up during the discussion of Beast 1-14. |

If it's the same series, then no. _________________ "Cats are interesting. They're kind of like girls. When they come talk to you, it's great. When you go talk to them, it doesn't go so well." - Miyamoto
