Rejected Star Wars and other movie spoilers should be worth a kick and then a ban within the first month/week

Should purposefully spoiling movies like Star Wars be a kick/ban offense? It's fucked up.

    I can't even tell you how many times I wanted this kind of thing when episode 7 came out, but then I thought about it realistically and it just doesn't make sense to use resources on something that comes once a year(if we are talking strictly about Star Wars). If we are talking about other things as well, unfortunately it still just doesn't make sense to do that for a community as large as ours.

    I've always kind of equated movie spoilers for larger title movies as a form of harassment; not on the same level as racial slurs.

    The intentional spoiling of a movie could follow the same protocols as spam considering that spam is literally unwanted or unneeded messages; whether its one or many.

    It shouldn't be kick then ban, but I feel like spoiling could easily fall under harassment. I've seen people ask if others want to receive spoilers, then spoil them anyway even though no one wants that. Intentionally spoiling when you know people don't want to receive leaks should be enough.

    There was a similar case for GoT here where a user spoiled an episode that leaked nearly a week ahead of time. The user then continued to edit in spoilers even after I had fixed their post to not leak anything. That's not behavior that should be tolerated, as it's just there to rile people up.

  6. This isn't worth even close to the effort it would take to enforce this rule. Harassment needs to be targeted for it to mean anything, or we could just generalize as much as we want and say anything's harassment.

    This is a stupid waste of time to enforce. If you want to avoid spoilers that badly, you really need to not be on the internet or places where there are generally assholes around you.

  10. Yes, we're all potential assholes. How is this questionable? Do you really think that SGM doesn't have at least one asshole willing to spoil Star Wars, much less anywhere on the internet?

    It's just not worth our time to prune assholes from our community, and if we tried to, we'd ban half the community anyways.

    The best part is the people saying not to go on the internet. Those are the same people who, if called names, will cry about it. Get off the internet if you don't want to be called names.

    Imagine banning someone for saying xpoo

    This actually affects someone's life. Even if you don't think it's a meaningful way because you're not a fan.

    "If you want to avoid being called names that badly, you really need to not be on the internet or places where there are generally assholes around you."
     
  15. Calling people names is not bannable by itself. Play on any server where someone calls you a ****ing idiot, or an ***hole (censoring here because I'm sure you can fill this in, being on the internet and all).

    Being targeted for repeated harassment is. This in no way contradicts what I said before in the comment that you quoted, if you read: "Harassment needs to be targeted for it to mean anything, or we could just generalize as much as we want and say anything's harassment."

    That's all i got to say, actually one last thing, if you don't like spoilers, watch the movie on the day it releases, better yet get the early bird tickets and spoil it for other people.

    I want it to fall under harassment tho and it doesn't. The kick/ban thing applies to harassment as well. It's warning, kick, then ban.

    If you think someone spoiling a movie is even close to harassment, you need to go outside and get away from your computer, there's worse things out there that require a lot more attention than a simple spoiler.

    If they're doing on purpose to target someone specifically, then that's harassment. But accidentally spoiling a part or talking about it in shoutbox won't ever be punishable, it's ridiculous to do that.

    No. This isn't our place to step in or even our responsibility.

    Thank you for suggesting.
