There are some simple guidelines that must be followed when posting certain "Major" spoilers.
- Put any "Major" spoilers in a spoiler tag.
- Warn users what is in the spoiler tag in the space before the spoiler tag, making clear how "major" the spoiler is, without going into details.
- If you know there will be major spoilers in your thread, please make this obvious in the thread title by starting the thread with [Major Spoiler].
How do I use spoiler tags?
There are two ways you can do this.
Option One:
- Warn people of the spoiler content, without going into details.
- In the message page (where you type in your message), click the "spoiler" tab, just above where you type and to the far left.
- Insert the spoiler in between the spoiler tags.
Option Two:
- Warn people of the spoiler content, without going into details.
- Write the spoiler into the message page (where you type in your message).
- Highlight the message.
- Click the "spoiler" tab, just above where you type and to the far left.
What constitutes as a "Major" Spoiler?
The following things count as "Major" Spoilers and must therefore be placed in spoiler tags.
- Episode Summaries- Detailed information of all of the happenings of future episodes.
- Character Deaths- Information on who and how a main character dies.
- Season Finales- Information on the final scene(s) of a show.
Any other spoilers that are not one of these does not require a spoiler tag and does not require warning.
Other Rules:
- Spoilers can only be posted in these forums- nowhere else
- "Major" Spoilers MUST be placed in spoiler tags
- Sufficient warning must be given before placing a spoiler tag
- Do not misuse the spoiler tags, by placing inside it information such as "Made You Look"
The breaking of any of these rules will possibly result in a warning.
Please note- As soon as an episode airs, it is allowed to be posted in the Non-Spoiler section. The spoiler section is for material that has not been aired on American TV yet, including promos and sneak peeks.
