You should be careful about naming the Titles e.g Alage Problem,About Gong.I think the title of the post can spoil more newbies VV2 players than some poster who accidently post some spoilers.So intead of adding Alage in the Titles you could have said Puzzle Seven.Just be careful about naming the Tilte of the new posts

It is a good advice and should be part of some kind of information to newbies BEFORE they start posting things. When I posted my first thing I had no idea that my text was going to be published without being inspected first by moderators. I thought the spoiler tag was something that LDW put there as part of the preview procedure. This is common procedure in a lot of websites. I'm not critizing LDW, on the contrary, it is nice to be trusted \:\) Information when registering would, however, be good and prevent mistakes.

Barbara does check the forum regularly and often adds 'SPOILER' warnings to the titles of posts. However, she can't be everywhere and does, despite evidence to the contrary, have to take time off to sleep. ;\)

Sleep? Oh, YEAH! THAT! Ummm...sometimes! \:D

Seriously, if we had to preview every post, it would be hours, if not days, before posts would make it to the forum. Even if it took only 30 seconds to process each post, it would take more hours than there are in a day just to keep up, and there would be no time left over for game development. \:D

Well, I never suggested that LDW, Barbara or other within the organisation, should start previewing posts and never ever sleep again \:\)

I simply informed LDW that there are sites (among them Shockwave and several newspapers' forums) that have some sort of previewing or at least filtering. I think it would be good if new members are informed about LDW's procedure when they sign up. It would save time later on.

Those organizations are maybe a zillion times bigger than we are! \:D We have tried "informing" new members about things before, but most people don't read anything on the registration page. You might be amazed at how many support requests we get because people don't bother to read the information that we already provide. \:\(

That's the way people are \:\) Maybe it was just me then, but when I first posted something here, I hesitated because I didn't know whether to put "spoiler" in the headline or not, whether my topic even should be classified as a spoiler and whether it was ok to do that myself or not.

Thanks for your replies, Barbara. I appreciate your support all the time here in this forum. You are all so dedicated to what you do here. It is much nicer than the big forums \:\)

Barbara was the model for our villagers; notice how they never sleep either.

Just joking, Barbara, you do seem to be available 24/7.

Note to Arthur: CLONE BARBARA
