People Don&#39;t Seem to follow these Rules. Maybe Since The People dont bother on the rules, maybe they will read this since this is a post. I also used to run a forums, and these type of things really got me mad, because of the work that i needed to do.

No Problem. I just want to lessen the work on the Admins.

I dont know about you guys, but generally in every forum there is a big@ss sticky that says (to some effect) RULES&#33; being the un-retarded person i am, i tend to read over these,... or glance... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/dry.gif ... well, at least i LOOK at it..

relax, he just trying to make life easier for the mods (although some mods mite consider it interfering with what &quot;they&#39;re&quot; supposed to do), but either way, hes rite.

ppl are bloody stupid......the mods are pretty easy going on this forum, and even the ppl who repeatedly break the rules and post spoilers/repeat threads, they let off with a warning......thats probably y most ppl dont seem to care. personally i think a ban or 2 is in order for the really bad gotwooters who just can&#39;t get the rules thru thier thick heads.

[Black Knight]

alright. as of now, there is a no tolerance policy in effect. any breaking of rules, small or big, will result in an immediate ban. so follow those rules&#33;





note: hope youre not dumb enough to believe me

[joker-kun]

BK is a joker....................

but I agree with the guy above,most people try to follow the rules, just make mistakes, now some are just pricks, but anyway, you have a point perhaps people will see this cause as I previously stated, People choose not too look at the important threads...

[-ANBU-Sasuke-]

You think im kissing @ss??. yes admins are pretty easy going, fromt he ones that ive seens on other forums. But still, i don&#39;t like seeing people getting into trouble, or threads gettign closed. This will help out no nessacarry posts like spoilers. Really i don&#39;t care if there is spoilers or not, but im trying to defend other people from seeing facts that they don&#39;t want to see, and spoiling a episode, or the storyline. My friends have told me a hole movie before a saw it before. Don&#39;t you hate that feeling?. But call me a suck up or not, even if im trying to help alot of people, i don&#39;t give a rat&#39;s @ss.

I don&#39;t want anything from the admins, no previlages, no nothing. So tell me, what im i sucking up for?

[Vagabond]

hm i don&#39;t think spoiling has been that bad. I haven&#39;t seen anything that has given away the storyline of Naruto.

Not that bad, but before i read the manga, ive seen a bit of spoilers that made me question the story line completly. but its not that bad.

This thread seems useless now, just lock it or delete it, my reminder has turned into a battle http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif

But all the animewatchers-only, View the Open discussion at your own risk. Spoilers are aloud.

Heres a dumb thought:

Lets have the mods have the rules attached to their sigs
so we can all point and laugh at them http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

i point and laugh at the mods anyway http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif *runs and hides*

usually spoilers arent too bad here......i dont mind spoilers that are properly formatted, and only given when someone asks for them......but every now and then u have someone who just wants to put in a spoiler for the hell of it, even if nobosy asked. even if its in spoiler color, thats pretty fucking dumb. thats about the only thing that pisses me off here

[kimunist]

ppl like to tell spoilers because its exciting to them to share in on the info to us.

personally, all the ppl who read the manga should stay out of this area, since this is mainly for people who only watch the sub versions of naruto.

because, even IF they dont say spoilers...most of what they say HINT of whats going to happen.

it should stop =D

[jing]

I disagree, this forum shouldn&#39;t be limited only to anime watchers. I watch anime and read manga aswell. I don&#39;t spoil, nor do I ever give hints. Assholish people break rules, and they are punished, that&#39;s what moderators are for. People who are newb to the rules........ well they suck.

I disagree, i think the spoilers here are very bad, you don&#39;t have to clean them up i do, and i catch them before you see them.

[RoMuLuu]

I have always wondered how it can be so damn hard for someones to do as the rules say. Expecially this &quot;No spoilers&quot; rule seems to be hard to unrestand. When I first came to this forum, I thought that why does that &quot;No spoilers&#33;&quot; text have to be written everywhere. But now I understand the reason. But I don&#39;t understand the people who break that rule, don&#39;t thay see that with a one single post they are able to ruin many peoples fun? It just can&#39;t be true that they haven&#39;t seen the warnings about the spoilers anywhere, unless they are 100% blind... I mean completely... After this there are only two reasons left I think. First, they are just trying to be mean to others. Or the second reason... They are just a bit stupid or something? I don&#39;t say this because I would like to be mean to anyone, I&#39;m just wondering the reasons to this spoiling... Amen.

[Krbadass]

I&#39;d close this, but maybe it might help..

Yeah I dont know what sort of attempt this was, but you probably succeeded(suck suck). And if your really just doing it to follow the rules..damn...you sad sad person.
Rules are something people TRY to live bij, not something they cant forget ones or twice.

[jing]

well there ain&#39;t no use whining about it........ if you don&#39;t like it, don&#39;t read in the forums, its as simple as that. but you&#39;re not gonna leave, so just deal with it. n don&#39;t speak for all when you say manga readers spoil. only fools. oh wait i have an idea, why don&#39;t i create my own thread, in which i just copy n paste the rules again. how about everyone go do the same??? n then we can really talk about naruto&#33; btw this belongs in the Gerenal Discussion forum&#33;

Many people don&#39;t read the rules either because they can&#39;t read or they&#39;re idiots who wants to ruin things for us.

no but who cares?
ppl who spoil get what they deserve.
in this world there are ALWAYS innocents that suffer, but we shouldn&#39;t discriminate manga readers because of that.

[Guest]

I agree
Every living being should be treated as one, not referring to any group.

[phreakatron]

Just a question...

Should I refrain from guessing at what I think is about to happen?

I have seen people get in trouble here for &quot;posting spoilers,&quot; when they were simply guessing what is going to happen next. I don&#39;t want that to happen to me http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/sad.gif

I have been reading here for a while now. I just never posted much because I always think its good to lurk and get a feel for everything.

I agree with that, maybe some of the people who read the manga and spoil don&#39;t always understand that they are actually spoiling? But they should start thinking that everyone don&#39;t read the manga. Of course some of the post are clearly written in a meaning to spoil. Also there stands very clearly something like: &quot;Discuss about the Naruto Anime, NOT the manga&#33;&quot; Also this must be hard work for the admins. Thank you all admins for the great job.

[Guest]

Ive spoiled some things from what I saw in the anime (never read the manga) , but I always deleted it after I noticed, or people told me.

[rleland]

i think the rules say you can post about the future as long as it&#39;s based on something.. i.e. if you base your observation on some sort of reason
sasuke will get his ass kicked by gaara because gaara has a hugeass scary demon in him and he&#39;s insane and he&#39;s got his powerfull sand shield, is an example of something which i dont think could be considered a spoiler..
but as someone pointed out &quot;doesn&#39;t it remind you of someone?&quot; isn&#39;t a reason
it&#39;s just pure bs.

however that&#39;s the rules.. in MY opinion if mangareaders *do* post (i can&#39;t really be bothered cause i&#39;ve already discussed the stuff in here to pieces in other forums by the time the laggish anime readers learn about it) they should post *nothing* about what happens in the future just to be safe. not even spectaculations
that&#39;s my opinion anyway

and violators should be hunted down and flogged http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[jing]

yes. i&#39;ve already given up speculation threads...

[Evil_Sasuke]

Thanx for the info, would have never read them if not in thread.

Also, jing tight sig Rice Owns&#33;&#33;&#33; I even got the shirt&#33; lol Azn pryde

[Uzumaki Naruto]

how do you know if you&#39;ve been warned?, bc i think ive been warned but i dont really if know if its for sure, but is there a place u can click to see if you&#39;d been warned?

[DB_Hunter]

I would just be re-stated what has already been said... but man some stupid fools are spoiling again in what seems to bet he most exciting part of Naruto of all time, let alone after such a long time. Statements like &#39;Oh look at this part in the ep&#39;, or that reminds me of someone I mean what the hell who are you trying to fool???? If you can&#39;t control your excitement about the eps then don&#39;t post&#33; If anime watchers wanted to know what&#39;s going on we could go into the manga thread, the open discussion thread.... flip we could go read the bloody manga if we wanted to. We don&#39;t because we enjoy the anime and we like the suspense... even though if we can&#39;t bear it at times. That&#39;s one of the things that makes the anime so hugley enjoyable.

So please for crying out loud please don&#39;t spoil&#33;

[phreakatron]

I always thought speculation was half the fun of discussing anything with people.

Kind of like wrestling (sorry to use such a thing for an example, lol)

I always found it fun to discuss what might happen, or what I thought could happen from show to show. Of course it would have been a problem if people who read the spoilers for the shows came along and said &quot;Quit spoiling it&#33;&quot; if I managed to guess right.

I guess in a way speculation is pointless for Naruto when I really think about it. Oh well...

I know I was originally going somewhere with this and I lost my train of thought along the way when I paused to watch a scene in Berserk. My apologies.

It is my opinion that posting &#39;theories&#39; or &#39;speculation&#39; is totally pointless and really should stop all together.

Firstly, if you read the manga(like I do http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif ) then you have no business posting in a speculation thread. There is nothing gained either by dropping obvious hints about future events or by posting a big load of BS. And before someone points out that as long as a theory can be supported than its all right to do so, here is a news flash EVERYTHING can be supported. For example I could present a pretty convincing theory that Naruto is a cross dressing homosexual.

Secondly, if you only watch the anime and you happen to post a &#39;theory&#39; that turns out to be fairly accurate then you will have no shortage of assholes who start pissing and moaning about posting spoilers. By the way, none of us are Kishimoto so what we think will or should happen in the story line amounts to sweet f*ck all in the end.

Maybe I&#39;m missing something but speculation threads or similar threads are completely useless and should be locked/deleted before they cause the huge amounts of trouble that they inevitably bring.

End of rant.

[-ANBU-Sasuke-]

Did this thread actualy keep on going???. I just woke up and started to read it. But yea, admins catch these before they come out. Sometimes i see spoilers when i refresh, then the next there gone http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif .
