A "Dedicated Lurker" (Ded lurker) is someone that only reads 1 players thread, so that they have no spoiler information: They are effectively a team mate for that player, and can offer any advice or ask any question that they want to.

Lurkers, the forum posters that read more than 1 player thread or the lurker thread, are considered "Spoiled" and have restrictions on what they can post in the player threads, what sort of questions they can ask.

And a dead lurker has even more restrictions on what they can post, and what questions they can ask.

So basically, you were right, Magno!

And yes, dead lurkers cannot ask any questions at all

Well said. So, lurkers, to avoid becoming dead lurkers , please adhere to the Lurkers Code of Conduct:

Quoted from Krill's post: (these rules are only for people reading more than one spoiler thread )

1) Lurkers may respond to civ4 mechanics questions (eg how many turns for a worker to chop a forest? Why didn't my cottage grow? How does the AP work?)

2) Lurkers may congratulate players on achieving a goal (eg Well done on getting that city spot)

2a) However, don't reveal unnecessary information on your comment (eg Well done on getting that city spot - I really thought that Greece was going to get it)

3) Lurkers may participate in option discussions but only after the player has articulated the options and only to the extent of pointing out additional strengths / weaknesses of options that the player might have missed.

3a) Lurkers should NOT suggest additional options that the player might have missed - do not give strategic or tactical advice that isn't known previously
3b) Lurkers should NOT express opinions about various options - ditto

4) Lurkers may express opinions on player agreed rules, but should also point out that rules agreed by the players should be discussed by the players

5) Lurkers may ask a team to explain their opinion about in game situations and developments, but must do this without writing leading questions, or implying information gained from other spoiler threads. It may be wiser to ask how to phrase such a question in the no players thread already, before posting it in a spoiler thread. Basically, be careful.

6) Lurkers may not ask sequence questions - bang

7) Lurkers may ask for screenshots.

8) Lurkers shall not contact players regarding the game outside the game forum by any means.

And don't even ask about Dread Lurkers.

Hmm, now you got me interested .

It's a lurker who constantly corrects you when you make a mistake. Like Noble.

Can dread lurkers be banned?
