**Thread title changed at the request of the forum staff** Just a rant here. Mods feel free to delete as necessary. As a moderator on other sites, I greatly appreciate all that the staff does for this one. I've worn your shoes, and feel your pain! On the open forum, for several days, we dealt with constant complaining of some members who did NOT want anything spoiled for them in the film. As silly and by definition "insane" as that idea was, the staff went out of their way to build a "spoiler" section, and posted the rules clearly for all to see. When I log in, it is in LARGE BOLD PRINT on the front page. In short, a man so stupid as myself gets it without any pictures to guide me. So we have this spoiler section now, and it seems every day there are more and more "theories" posted by members who refuse to try the search feature, and have NO clips or articles to back up the ideas they post. FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT GRASP THE CONCEPT- SUCH THINGS ARE NOT SPOILERS. THEY ARE YOUR PERSONAL OPINION. IF YOU ARE CORRECT IN THE END, GREAT! If not, you've spoiled nothing but our time expecting to see something new. While many members do not want to see spoilers- which makes coming here a bit stupid IMHO, others including myself do wish to see them. If you have a theory, post it in the Prometheus discussion forum. If you have something NEW that has not been seen or read, post it here. How hard is this?

Apparently it is pretty hard indeed. I think the difficulty lies in that a person would have to admit that their theory is just speculation and holds no merit to see that it is not a spoiler.

oh, and don't forget that some folks have the abillity to WRITE THE ENTIRE SPOILLER IN THE TITLE OF THE THREAD they are posting. something like "ALICE IN WONDERLAND IS ALL ABOUT DRUGS, DON'T READ THIS BECAUSE OF SPOILLERS"

I don't mean to gripe really. I know this forum will receive more and more new members as the buzz grows about this film. And as I said the moderators have their hands full. No one can catch all the errant posts. I really don't mind new people not knowing what was discussed two months ago. But a total disregard for what is right in front of you is like taking a dump in your neighbor's living room. It's just plain rude.

It depends what people refer to as Spoilers.... 1) Their speculation on evidence we have seen from Trailers, Interviews and other Media...... NO! 2) People pointing out stuff (still images) from official images and Trailers..... NO! 3) The same as above but from TV Spots...... YES! .... in a way (potentially Headless David, the Tentacle Monster attack on Engineer, and Engineer attack on Shaw that shows more detail. I think are spoilers. 4) So could posts by people who have had inside information be that talked to people behind scenes or seen the movie....... YES! .... in that they could be telling the truth or complete BS! Some posts i post on i dont use Title Spoiler..... but if i have a speculative spoiler based on some evidence i would do it like this... and have done. SPECULATIVE (POTENTIAL) SPOILER - - - - I think Weyland is on board and he plans to use another Andriod with the Engineers fire/secrets to create a more Biological Andriod rather than Synthetic... maybe he plans to use that created Replicant as a host somehow for himself. This is how i think the movies ties with Blade Runner (Replicant) and how Weyland ties in to Prometheus. In France SPFX Magazine the special effects team said they also had to work on some old person make up for one member of the crew... - - - - END SPECULATIVE SPOILER So i would not use it in the thread tittle but i would break up any spoiler parts as such, so people can just skip past...

Exactly BigDave. And you specify POTENTIAL spoiler. Such discussions are inevitable on a forum like this. Your method is a very good one. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with it, though I'm sure someone always will.
