REMINDER CONCERNING SPOILERS

Hello all.

I posted this in the general topic but just to be sure you guys see it:

We now have a spoiler section for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. We ask that any spoiler related posts/topics go in this general area of the forum. Especially story related ones once they get released.

We'll also ask that you continue to keep spoilers in that part of the forum after the game's release since people play the game at their own pace.

To get there, simply look for the subforum under the Ground Zeroes section. The password is in the description.

Should you see anyone posting spoilers outside the area, kindly report it and we'll remove said content.

Black-king Quick question: Are new gameplay mechanics (like for example if co-op was announced) are considered spoilers? Is that part of the forum restricted to story spoilers or anything new from now on?

no, those aren't spoilers. but to play it safe, you can spoiler tag them and in the slug line, put "new mechanic confirmed", and reveal what that mechanic is in the spoiler tag.

fair word of warning, though. we will have an absolutely zero tolerance policy regarding spoilers, as is the custom whenever a new mgs game is released. and seeing as how mgsv is easily the most anticipated mgs game to date with the longest following, we'd ask that everyone please be mindful of that. we want everyone to still feel comfortable and free to post in this section without anyone else spoiling the game for them.

thank you all in advance.

Does this mean messages like "on mission N I have to look for X" count as off limits for the non-spoiler section?

What are the guidelines for spoiler section? Are spoiler tags for major spoilers, and non-spoiler thread titles recommended?

Sorry Jim I never saw your reply.

Yeah once the game releases try to keep things that aren't official Konami/Kojima statements or just general chit chat in spoiler section for a bit.

In the actual spoiler section, I don't think we'll require spoiler tags but just use common sense. And try to keep topic titles non spoilered since I think the titles show up in the main page. If you can't try something like:

I'd say even in the Spoiler Section, try to keep spoilers out of the title/description as there will be members in there with varying levels of progress through the game.

Just give a general idea of what the topic is about and probably state what chapter/mission you are up to, so people who aren't up to there can easily avoid.

Keiv said it a couple of posts up, but I'll reiterate very clearly.

THERE IS A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY ON SPOILERS, IF YOU POST A SPOILER YOU WILL RECEIVE A WARNING. NO EXCEPTIONS.

There may be some preview stuff coming from magazines tomorrow or even before the embargo. If that's the case, should that info be in the Spoiler section or can it be in the normal section?

Clarification in this would be good. I have no idea what to expect from this soon coming info drop.

Maybe it's better off in the spoiler section, just in case.

okay, since new info and pictures have arrived, this is just a reminder:

until any spoiler-esque images or features are revealed in official trailers or gameplay demos, they are to remain in spoiler tags and or posted in the spoiler section of this sub-forum.

any posts that include any of that information or pictures / scans without spoiler tags around them will result in warnings. no exceptions.

Wouldn't it be best if all new threads/messages on the MGV subforums would have to get moderator approval before becoming visible to everyone at least until the game comes out? That way we'd all be fully protected from spoiler messages or threads made by troll accounts. I don't know if that measure's already in place, since I can post and see my message immediately. So, in theory, I could post a big spoiler in an inappropriate section, some people would see it and get spoiled till I get my warning and my message deleted. But the damage will have already been done, unfortunately.

Yeah, thread titles should be moderated, if possible. Some of the biggest spoilers can be seen in thread titles.

I'm not sure if we can do that for only a specific area. Dante might.

unfortunately, we can't do much about titles except catch and change then before too many people see it.

to anyone who decides to post spoilers in the title, they will be warned and suspended from posting in this section. anyone who intentionally posts spoilers to ruin things for people on this forum? they will be banned indefinitely and all all their posts will be replaced with pictures of gary busey grinning into a camera.

okay, so i need make a little update announcement here.

we; the staff, greatly appreciate members who take the initiative to report things on this forum. we always try to stay on top of it, but it's hard to be everywhere at once. that said, as some of you can guess, not all of us are willing to venture the spoiler section just yet, especially with all these leaks...and "leaks" roaming by.

so, if there is a serious issue in the spoiler section of this forum, we would appreciate it if you would pm us instead of reporting it, because we don't know what reports are until reading them, and if they aren't tagged, we get things spoiled as a result. if it involves spoilers, then please link us to aforementioned post or user and let us know ahead of time that spoilers are involved, so we can do our best to avoid it and still handle any given issue.

thank you.

I feel sorry for the admins that have to read the title and topic and to have the game spoiled.
If we see a topic with spoiler but without a
spoiler tag

can we Posted Image it?
I thought he was kidding, but I
soon realized that Mr. Kojima was serious.

pm us if its out and loud and we haven't already seen it.

also, just a quick reminder:

the game being released in 2 days does not change the rules. for the next few months, all spoiler chat is to be designated in the spoiler section and any public posts better be tagged. anyone who messes up will be warned and suspended from the mgs sections for however long we see fit.

any intentional spoiling will result in instant perma / ip bans, without question.

and any bladewolf's who think they can rejoin this forum under the noses of staff be onetime bitch until i get bored and ban you. for further example, please see grizzlyslash, or, as he will soon be known, kojimamakesmemoist87. ;)
