What is a “Spoiler”?
When someone tells you how a movie you haven’t seen before is going to end, he has “spoiled” it for you; your ability to enjoy a good surprise has been severely impaired. The same idea works in the gaming world. If you wish to post any details about any TSR products, please include the word SPOILER in the subject, and leave a full page of blank space, either by inserting a form feed character or by hitting Return about 20 times. This is especially appropriate for descriptions of modules (“We just finished S4; had a dickins of a time opening those pesky doors, but here’s how we did it…”), because there will always be people on Usenet who have not played that module, or who are currently running through that module. Most DM’s do not enjoy it when someone else gives their groups all the details of their next few adventures. So no matter how old a module is, always include spoiler warnings if you are divulging any vital details. Including spoiler warnings is also appropriate when discuss
