Is there a general guideline on how long an episode is out before you can mention details without warning about spoilers? I don't want to ruin anything for anyone.

Thanks

Delia, it is up to the moderators of the BBS itself. As a general rule on the Net, ANY post that reveals a plot point should have a SPOILER warning.

When in doubt... don't spoil it.

There isn't a moderator here, but I agree with Ghoulman. There are fans from all over the world on this board and many of them don't get the episodes until much later. So the nice thing to do is warn people.

This gets annoying on every post.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
See what I mean?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
It's not fun getting carpel tunnel scrolling down the page to see what I have to say.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
A spoiler warning in the title should suffice.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
If people are too stupid to read the title and click on it anyways, they shouldn't complain if they see spoilers.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Because this is a waste of everyone's time and bandwidth.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
So please don't require every POST to have spoiler space. Just require the TOPIC to have a spoiler warning.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
The people who accidently read spoilers when the topic is clearly marked aren't smart enough to operate remote controls anyways.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
And being Fox executives they probably already know what happens anyways.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I hope everybody understands how annoying it would be if every friggin post on a page had 10 inches of spoiler space.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
SO DON'T DO IT!
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
ONE IS ENOUGH!
...
...
...

You still here? Are your fingers getting tired yet? Is the scrol thingy on your mouse broken yet?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
You should have stretched your finger muscles before starting to read this post.
...
...
...

You made it. You deserve a nice cold beer. Congratulations! Support the elimination of spoiler space in posts and the mods who suppport it.
