I've already been spoiled some in that I've learned something about the [REDACTED] and how the [REDACTED] will [REDACTED] my titan the [REDACTED]. It made me sad to learn that because it would have been so much cooler to find out in game. It makes me think about going dark for the next 5 1/2 weeks.

I agree, I don't want to read anything about PvE, especially if it's story/lore based. Now things like how many missions & strikes there are won't bother me.

Vendor changes, vault changes, shader changes, materials, etc. I'm find with learning about tho'. And these past few days have been amazing for stuff like that, unfortunately it was also in this coverage that I read that [REDACTED] that made me sad.

I think spoilers are not anything from the Crucible; anything that does not relate to the plot or narrative; anything that concerns gear or mechanics of the game; concept art or rendering…to a point.

you really don't mind finding out about the rewards (gear/weapons) for completing the PvE content? a surprise new weapon type drop at the end of a mission would be a big spoiler for me.

Idea: if Beorn can let us filter out systems on the FTB, maybe he can let us filter out speculation/spoilers. is that functionality already built in and it just comes down to getting people to tag their posts?

Idea#2: if we can get people not to put details in subject lines it should be easy to skim forum and choose what not to read

I understand the challenge. I tend to avoid the relevant B.Org forum for some time up to a release and then until whenever I finish the new content. I've been taking in the latest Game Informer news because I haven't been playing Destiny as much lately and this stuff is really re-energizing me. I'll be avoiding anymore PvE stuff, though.

Going into your user profile and clicking on every thread category except "Destiny" will likely filter out most of the big news, but you'll also be cutting out a big swath of the forum. We could add "Spoilers" as a category but that would also require people to select and use it, so you'd still have to be on guard.

I'm a big opponent of unwanted spoilers. But when you enter a Destiny forum around a release, it tends to say 'I want spoilers', so it gets rather tricky. :)

I went in expecting mostly talk of mechanical changes and general plot outline, but they completely spoiled something Titan-related (arguably a mechanical spoiler, but very much tied into the narrative) and I'm kind of bummed I won't get to experience the surprise by myself.

Hover your mouse over this business:

Check out my awesome spoiler: Nolite facere nos culos vestros calcitrare

If you can see the Latin text above by default, you'll need to force a reload of the CSS (holding Shift and reloading a couple times usually does the trick).

Additionally, there's a "spoiler" button in the posting tool and a "Show spoilers" checkbox in the top right corner that hides/unhides all spoilers on the page. The setting isn't saved to your account yet (server-side database stuff takes a bit longer to deal with), but that's coming in the future. Hopefully this works for now.

As with all other formatting tags, [spoiler] does not work in titles.
