I'm afraid there is some confusion remaining, and if that means you hate me... there's really nothing I can do about that.
I can try to reassure you, at least. My current interpretation of the spoiler policy is: "All discussion of RP-specific info is considered spoilers for purposes of the spoiler policy, regardless of whether it fits a strict definition of the word 'spoiler'."
(I would ask, if you think that's a good wording, that you put that in the main spoiler policy box. Please.)
Simon, did you realize this would be rude? It looks to me like you were only intending to make a reference to something that amused you, but in context, you've implied that my motives are both dishonest and dishonorable. Was that really your intention?
I'll write it bluntly Horatio. Let me be clear that I'm not trying to be mean, or to imply anything. I'm saying the things EXACTLY as they look to me.
You might believe this to be rude. I'll risk it, as I want to be 100% clear, and sometimes being blunt and being rude can easily be confused one for the other.
You brought up the rp ban discussion, in a form or another, more than a dozen times.
Every single time that you asked about it, no matter the specific phrasing that you used, the answer was basically "
if you're discussing things from the rp you have to put them into spoiler. EVERYTHING from the rp that you would not know if you never read that but only read the quest is a spoiler. The fact that characters from the RP are around is more or less an amusing easter egg, and is not something you actually need to worry about. Please stop asking."
Usually, immediately after what is a clear and simple answer that should put and end to this, you ask again the same question or a very similar one, as if you're trying to get a different answer by getting clever with your wording.
Sometime you wait a while, and then you ask the thing again.
This is obviously annoying to the qm, and is becoming annoying to most players as well.
You see, from your behaviour we can only think of two possibilities
1)You're a troll, and you're faking misunderstanding and confusion. This is something you simply do for fun.
2)You're actually not understanding the answers.
Now, I always give the benefit of the doubt, but the fact is that on the internet trolls are VERY common, and the more you continue to insist asking the same (or nearly the same) question, the harder it gets to believe you're actually being honest about your doubts, and the more annoying the thing becomes.
Now, I'll try to be perfectly clear by being blunt and not mincing word, and If anyone disagree with what I'm saying please feel free to tell me.
Horatio, Poptart has told you that rp things need to go into spoiler boxes. That includes everything from the RP that you can't learn by simply reading the threadmarked posts here. That includes BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO rp characters, transformations, power levels and the enemy, just to mention the main ones. You shouldn't ask about this policy again. You shouldn't complain about this policy again. If you want to talk about rp things you're free to do it (I often do it myself), but only in spoiler boxes., as this policy asks of you.
If you continue to ask after this I'll have no choice but to believe that you're a troll, and there's a real risk that at some point you'll get threadbanned.
If you like this quest and wish to continue being a part of it, PLEASE stop asking that question.
Again, I'm not trying to be mean or rude, but i want to be 100% clear: Your behaviour has gone from strange to funny to sort of annoying/sad. I don't want to make you feel bad, but you have to understand that if you continue like this at some point we'll reach a breaking point, and that is likely to end with your threadban.
I'm not angry, and I don't want an apology or a "I'm sorry I didn't understand" speech. I just want to close this discussion once and for all. Sorry and thank you.
