Reddit Is Banning Users That Post Star Wars 7 Spoilers (softpedia.com)

Posted by timothy on from the spoiler-alert dept.

An anonymous reader writes: A few naughty users have started spamming Reddit with Star Wars 7 spoilers, but also hoaxes. Some known Star Wars fans with Reddit accounts were even bombarded with PMs about the upcoming film, with trolls trying to ruin the movie before they saw it. As a result, Reddit is now banning any user that posts Star Wars 7 spoilers. The movie officially launches tomorrow; do you plan to see it? Do you care about spoilers?

    He's teaching a yoga class at Tatooine Community College, and selling "Jedi Force Crystals" on the Trade Federation shopping channel.

  2. This time I care by portwojc · · Score: 1, Funny

    For me I have only watched the trailers and the one trailer that was put together. I try my hardest to avoid all other information about the movie and can so I have done so very well. I especially ignore everything right now even "spoiler free" reviews. I want to try and relive the experience I had as a kid. You knew next to nothing going in and came out with an imagination running wild. I have emptied my cup and I await till tomorrow to fill it.

    Banning is a bit heavy handed. They should have just created a Yoda translator plugin for their website and forced those users to have it for a week.

    I'm curious as to how Slashdotters would react if I were to post a giant Star Wars spoiler here.

    That was either the start of something bad or the end of something stupid.
