Supcom discussion ban

AF · Post by AF » 23 Oct 2006, 22:45

I've pre-ordered my copy of supcom ^^.

I know when it'll arrive and I cant wait for it.

So while I'm waiting for the supcom experience I'm looking at these forums having spoilers and hints and other things that are ruining everythign for me.

I know you beta testers are all bragging about your beta copies, but I dont wanna listen to people being arrogant little sods shoving it in my face. Sorry but theres behaviour thats just plain selfish and ignorant, it's like self worship on a grandeur scale, I got it and you dont hahahahaha muhahahahahah! Any excuse to post a screenshot!

They could at least have the decency to warn users of spoilers, putting warnings in thread titles or something, show some basic level of respect.....

And I'm sick of the continuous will supcom pull all our modders away issue. Someone starts a 5 page thread and what do users do, they start another poll and a thread and spread it into different threads that arent supcom related and discuss it to death.

ffs, look at the modders we have, there arent that many active modders who've actually got sticking power, and most of them are community veterans from OTA. Why dont you just ask them if they plan on switching?

And did it occur to anyone that you can play both spring AND supcom? Or that more users and modders are being driven away from the forum by discussion of supcom, than supcom itself?

So I request that we have a ban on supcom discussion. If you need to discuss the supcom issue, there are plenty of supcom forums to goto.

Oh stop being such a ponce, dont read it if you dont want to know. Simple.
Why are you reading these forums anyway, I thought you said you left?
back 5 mins and youre bitching already. sigh, why cant you just politely ask like anyone else would instead of.. "Im sick of this, Im sick of that "blah blah "I want I want".. "whine whine whine"

Personally, i'd say that it should be allowed in offtopic, but nowhere else.
Also, why would you click alink that said amagawd supcom if you didnt wanna get spoiled?

I think at least the Features Spring will borrow from SC will have to be discussed... if the devs find something intersting.

Bigsteve the issue is how do I knwo what not to read? It's everywhere! Of all the links and threads there's 1 or 2 threads with supcom in the name and thats it.

Whatsmore people arent linking ot the images via [url] tags they're using [img] tags in posts so I'll find a supcom shot without being able to avoid it because its too late I've seen it.

I don't think the beta-players are able to spoil anything with their very detailed reviews of the game: "lol it roxx" orly?
Didn't even see a user-posted screenshot yet.

Now this is a biased poll. Blackliger? You paying attention?

Isach posted one I think.

Some inner voice told me to click the lower link.

Honestly, just be lucky you can play it. I definitely can't.
Anyway, SupCom is nothing special, it's just another game. It's really exciting the first 30 minutes and then maybe a week or even month if it's really that damn good (which I doubt). But it's no reason for crap like that.

There were a lot of games I was all excited over when I was younger (5-6 years ago) and what happened? Played them for a week and begone with it.

If you don't like people talking about SupCom well then don't browse off-topic and avoid threads with the name SupCom or other indicators in them.

And please stop making a drama of everything! Take it easy man...

I'm still pondering wether or not to post that emo ducky FMY-comic from 4chan again...

I read Edge magazine, and aside from Mr Biffo's halarious grumble-column my favourite part id the reviews and previews. Since I don't actullay have the time to play very much I use them to guide any purchase I do make and enjoy reading aoubt new/cool features and gameplay.
The only part of a gmae I'd never want spoiled is the story, but aside from that (or cheat's and spoilers of puzzels) I hungrily snap up all information, especially on a game I like.

BlackLiger · Post by **BlackLiger** » 24 Oct 2006, 01:29

Frankly, I'm not gonna stop em posting spoilers as a mod unless instructed to do so.

However, I WILL insist all supcom topics have a [SPOILERS] tag on them.

Spoiling what? We can't spoil the story, since there is no single player and most info is disclosed...

Just stay away from the threads with SC, Sup com or supreme commander in their name i your so keen on avoiding spoilers.

Dude. A) Don't argue with the moderators. and B) It stops people complaining with the tag, which is preferable. And C) We don't want to know ALL ABOUT OMGWTF THIS UNIT PWNS. We want to WAIT, and get to USE said unit in the finished version.

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 24 Oct 2006, 01:46

I can't wait to see the units in all their glory. Hearing about them second hand will dilute their effect for me. Or am I crazy? Whatever...

That makes me want to scream ZOMGZ!!!! POWER ABUZE!

Do not argue with the mods.
Our Judgement is unquestionable.
Our word is law.
lolz.

I'd not want to argue with a moderator cause they know where I live and are armed with very large knives...

And AF wonders why certain individuals tell him to GTFO? This thread is incredibly arrogant and self-centered. You are not the center of the universe, AF, and you don't get to control discussion on the Spring forums to meet your particular desires. If you want to do that, go fiddle with settings on the Darkstars forums or something.

Zoombie · Post by **Zoombie** » 24 Oct 2006, 02:01

Uh...How can it be self centered if people agree with him? I thought it was a perfectly reasonable thing, to not want to have spoliers shoved in one's face.

LOrDo · Post by **LOrDo** » 24 Oct 2006, 02:30

Well...its more of a SUGGESTION then an ORDER.

Kixxe · Post by **Kixxe** » 24 Oct 2006, 02:31

Fine, just tell us to MARK the threads. a ban of em is HARDLY needed.

BigSteve · Post by **BigSteve** » 24 Oct 2006, 02:32

Id agree zombie it is reasonable to politely ask to not post spoilers, but instead he made a huge post about it while whining like a spoiled 3yr old whos thrown their toys out of the pram, its just bloody irritating.
All that was needed was a small request for threads to marked as kixxe has suggested above.
