Re: [DL] Spoiler convention?

["Allan 'Deputy' Seyberth" <moderator@darious.com>]

Hey there,
         The Spoiler convention is simply a Spoiler tag in either the 
subject line, or preceding the spoiler text.  If the spoiler tag is used in 
the body of the email, please leave a small bit of white space before the 
actual text.

For example:

SPOILERS below




Actual text goes here.

The cutesy method of putting a large section of white space, or using a 
full page of ascii art, or putting one line on a page ala Spoiler below 
<full page of white space>, Marshal's Only <another full page of white 
space> Beat it you players <yet another page of white space> is NOT 
convention.  It's just plain irritating.

Spoiler information is anything that was published in the Marshal Only 
sections of the Pinnacle rulebooks, or anything at all that may ruin an 
adventure (published or home made) for players.

And - one other convention that is on the listserv is that all posts should 
be made in text, not html formatted.

Thanks.
