A Suggestion To Not Spoil For Telltale Staff
Hello Telltale Staff, I have a simple suggestion regarding ''The Walking Dead Story Discussion- SPOILERS'' forum, can you hide the Last Post section of it?? Because sometimes the name of a thread in that forum may spoil.
Here is pic if you don't get the problem. ::  Thank you, |

Exactly that was a point we've debated hotly behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a solution in this forum's mechanics. We have to go along with it for now.

A little consideration and more creative titling and there wouldn't be a problem.

I've tried to put together some guidelines for creative and non-spoilery thread naming, but they all have one fundamental flaw. If you want to create thread titles users will find when they do a basic forum search to avoid that the same topic is discussed 100 times in 100 threads, you HAVE to add some key words which will tantamount to a spoiler. Just character names and asterisks do not make an identifiable thread name. The only solution is to not display it up there, and that seems to be impossible. I had the neat idea of adding to the "welcome" thread in that forum a creation date three years in the future, so it would always be the one displayed. But even that seems to be impossible.

I am trying to make sure when I make a post not to spoil anything.

Easy solutions:
1: Create a separate bookmark on your web browser for the threads. - This will make sure that you are where you want to be w/o taking any risks. -- Problematic if you visit the forums for any other game on the site. 2: Don't look at the last post in the section. - Personally I never even look at what the last post was as I am heading into that section anyways. Hard Solutions: 1: (easy to do as an admin) Move the current spoilers forums further down on the main forum page and create a link in the current one. Then just lock that forum so only mods/admins can post in it. 2: You can edit the VB code to disable the last post IIRC. Been a long time since I worked with VB so things may have changed. Though pretty sure you can just edit the code to remove the last post column. - I'm half bored enough.. Might go setup a server and give a better answer. |
