Spoilers Policy for TV Talk

After reviewing the results from last week's spoilers discussion post, the mods decided to implement a very broad spoiler policy. There was complete consensus that spoiler protection should apply to posts but that comments would generally be fair game. However what constituted a spoiler had more variation, with at least some people finding that all the examples offered were spoilery.

Therefore we're proposing the following:

a) Spoiler free posts may only contain high level information about a series or non-detailed discussion of TV themes.

b) Comments are 'read at your own risk' unless the author of the post asks you to refrain from spoilers in the comments.

c) If a post contains any specific details about a show it must be spoiler protected by using one or more cut tags. Before the cut tag, note that what follows contains spoilers for an episode number, or a season, or the series as a whole (whichever applies).

We think this will be the simplest way of addressing spoilers in a community which will be discussing a wide variety of programming. Please let us know if you have any questions.
