Some months ago, I updated the forum rules that you have to agree to when you register for the forum. Currently, the FIRST thing it says is the following:
Forum Rules - Read All Of This Before Registering
DO NOT POST SECRET CODES FOR THE AWESOME HOUSE PARTY WITHOUT USING SPOILER TAGS!! For more info on this, please read the Rules For Posting Secret Codes thread in the Big Fat Awesome House Party section of the forum. Believe me, we already know the codes the moment they are released; we don't need people to sign in JUST to tell us the codes. (Sorry to vent, but the whole Staff is getting sick of people registering, posting "The codes are (blah blah)!" and vanishing again. YOU MUST USE SPOILER TAGS TO POST CODES. Okay now onto the rest of the rules.)
And then the rest of it.
Seriously, it is the FIRST thing you are asked to agree to when registering. For a little while now, I have considered new members immediately running to the BFAHP section to post codes without spoiler tags a bannable offense, and I will *continue* to immediately ban people who post codes if they joined after I added the above paragraph to the registration forum. (I've only been temporarily suspending older members, who ought to know better anyways.) OMG. It is RIGHT on top. I consider it a mixture of a personal insult to myself and this site as well as an indication of a person's nonexistant ability to read and abide by rules when people run in here and post codes without spoiler tags. Our forum is better off without these people.
Just a word of warning.
