Mod Post: SPOILER POLICY, PLEASE READ

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Dear lovely folks at ohsam,

Apparently there has been some confusion about what constitutes a spoiler. So this is an important post, please take the time to read it.

First of all, let's remember that not everyone can watch the Show right as it airs, or even soon after. People in other countries, for instance.

The rule of thumb is as follows:

1- All Show content should be considered a spoiler for a minimum of two weeks after it has aired. Please put such things behind a cut, or under greyed-out text. If you don't know how to grey-out a text, here is a handy tutorial. If you don't know how to make an LJ-cut, go here for another handy tutorial.

I myself generally make a habit of posting spoiler warnings for at least the current season, but your mileage may vary on this. Two weeks is generally a good buffer.

Please warn which episode you will be spoiling for!

2- ALL UNAIRED EPISODES should be considered to be spoiler material. This includes previews, information leaked from the show, and anything, I mean anything you find out about unaired episodes from ontd_spnparty.

3- When in doubt, err on the side of caution. Use LJ-cuts if you're not sure. OR, ask one of the mods. mimblexwimble or I will be happy to answer your questions.


Thank you, and keep on rocking!

Thank you so much. I'm not a spoilerphobe myself, but seeing a certain spoiler in a summary outside of an lj cut still felt wrong to me.

THIS, PLEASE. Because I live in Europe now I can't watch Supernatural until like the Thursday after it airs depending on my internet, and spoilers outside of an LJ-cut are so annoying! D:
