I just have to post a reminder here since some people don't seem to understand...

 

 

If you KNOW what happens in Episode III, you have a few choices on LucasForums:

 

1) Keep it to yourself until the movie has been out for awhile and it has become general knowledge.

 

1) Discuss it in PM's or private chat or email or some other forum with others who wish to discuss it.

 

2) Post about it in the "Episode III Spoilers Allowed" forum.

 

3) Use the "spoiler" tag in front of each portion of spoilers (as you see me doing) to make it so that only those who wish to read it will see it by highlighting their mouse over the area in question, put "SPOILER" type warnings in front of links, and use links only (rather than direct images) when posting spoiler images.

 

If you can't do this then, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF until the movie has been out for awhile and the info becomes common knowledge.

 

 

Not every SW fan is desperate to learn every detail about this movie before it's even out in theaters. While these details may seem trivial to you, everyone is trying to spew them out, and combined, they ruin quite a bit of the actual movie for many folks. It's like reading the last page of a murder mystery out loud to somebody who's waiting in line to buy the book and who actually WANTS to be surprised. It's just plain rude.

 

But we KNOW that some people like to discuss spy reports and spoilers (including ones leaked on sites like TFN and StarWars.com). So that's why we have the tags and indeed and entire forum for it.

 

So be smart, don't make us have to start banning people for ignoring these warnings. If you don't know how to use the Spoiler tag LEARN. NOW.

 

PS: Speculation is fine, but if you know what happens or THINK you know what happens, use the tag. When in doubt, use it.

 

Thank you.

 

PPS: Do I sound cranky? I am a bit. I've already had a bit of the movie spoiled for me by accident, and I wish to avoid more spoilage. I'm thus sympathetic on behalf of the people wishing to avoid spoilers, and that's why I'm making "such a fuss" about this. So be smart and discreet about this for the sake of others, that's all I ask.

wtf I get B****ed out because I found a toy? have you been on the data bank latly and read palps info (there's a link on the first page of this thread). Others giving links on here didn't make a spoiler known thing, and why or how is it a spoiler if it is common knowlage, ignored by the ignorant? Sorry if I seemed to rewan E3 for you but it's not my fault you can't peice together clues. How much more obvious could it be that palp is the emp? hmmmm. Their even the same actor. (warning spoiler. it says the actors names at the end of the movie(S). Then you have the testicular fourtatude to go on a rant about me. Oh look I'm a nieve prick but because I'm an admin I have to threatn people. If you didnt notice people where tring to prove palp was the emp in this thread I wasnt the starter of it thus I have no controll where it was placed, if its really that big of a deal why dont you use your massave admin powers to move it to the ep3 spoiler fourm.

Is it me, or has this thread realy struck a nerve with a lot of people?

 

I mean, if you read back, people have lost friends, poeple are getting banned, calling names!!! WOW!!

 

Fear leads to hate and anger and all that stuff and all because somebody didn't think old Palpy was Darth Sidious?? I guess somebody underestimated the power of the darkside here.

dirsh, quit whining he didn't single you out. If you look Kurgan posted in this topic himself. But what he did was he posted his opinion and hid any spoilers.

 

Anyway, relax he didn't mention you. It was a warning to everyone posting here.

 

BTW-Naive. :D

dirsh, Just because it's on the official site doesn't mean it's not a spoiler. There is a ton of info that was let out that could potentailly be spoilers for some. Also keep in mind this is the Episode I and II forum and that some people who don't want to be spoiled... at all visit this place.

 

Now, you really should calm down, Kurgan did not single you out, as Hannibal said, he only edited your post as it might contain spoilers. He also edited other members' posts. Also, if you read correctly, he never mentions your name nor does he make an allusion to you in his post. He only posted this as a reminder for everyone.

 

Finally, show more respect to fellow members, you really shouldn't insult anyone, especially not an admin. Consider this your first warning.

I know seriously, this is really weird!

 

Most of the anger seems to be coming out of no where too! (At least, what little anger that didn't come from Palpy and/or Sideous)

 

BTW - I think 'Anger' leads to 'Hate,' not the other way around. :D

Yes 'anger' does lead to 'hate' you are correct and this thread proves it. Thank you for the correction. In my defense, I was mearly attempting to allude to the quote, and not to quote it however. But thank you again.

 

Lets play nice and remember to use our spoiler tags.

Anybody else notice that Tavion and Lieutenant_Kettch could actually be the internet embodyment of the Palpatine/Darth Sidious relationship from the movies? :p

 

Indeed, it will not be proven 100% until Revenge of the Sith comes out but I could think of way more interesting things to do than play the Devil's Advocate to get that fact across.

 

This thread has burned holes in my eyes!

Relax. If you're mad at ME or some other admin, send me a PM and let's talk about it in private, rather than ranting about it here. That's kind of petty don't you think?

 

As to the spoiler policy, it's there for everyone to read, it's not targetted only at you or only at some other person. Don't take it personally. As to the databank implying or not implying that Sideous is Palpatine that's not what we're talking about at all. A spoiler is what happens in Episode III. Not speculation that we make up here. So if somebody wants to speculate that Palpatine is a clone of Sideous they can go right ahead (even if we think that's a stupid idea). But if you know that this happens in the movie, then it would be a spoiler, and so that person should put a tag and warning on it.

 

For now I think that saying Palpatine and Sideous are the same person is just common sense. Unless Lucas decides to pull a fast one, we can expect that to happen, and it's thus not a spoiler thinking that.

 

As to editing posts, until the "Episode III Spoiler Policy" was actually posted, I wouldn't expect people to be 100% familiar with it, so just consider it a friendly warning/reminder if you got a correction before, not a personal attack.

 

Anyway...
