The Spoiler Tag Rules

[SuperBowlNachos]

Spoiler previews for next weeks show only.

Not sure why anyone needs to go into a movie or show thread after it is out and they haven't seen it. The opinions here won't vary from the masses on if the movie is any good or not.

There are critic and user ratings.

What about mentioning a "spoiler" outside of the shows thread topic. I don't mean go into the OT thread and be like "I can't believe ___ died in the movie!"(for a movie that is still in theaters). But if you're just bringing up a shocking moment from a TV show that happened several months ago(or maybe even X amount of years for the show or movie), would that be required to use spoiler tags?

So what if someone is guest starring on a show in a future episode(but you don't know when),would that be ok to mention it, or not?

How do you expect this question to be answered when your range of time goes from a movie from several months ago to a movie 50 years ago?

I meant a tv show episode from several months ago, or something like a movie from years ago(since movies are in theaters for a number of months and then released on dvd awhile after that,so it could be a year from the time it first came out in theaters before someone might watch dvd of that movie for first time)

I posted something about Marvel's Agents of SHIELD in the Something About One Of Your Favorite TV Shows That You Didn't Like thread. And Majingir had replied with this below. The thing I posted was saying I didn't like what they had done with a certain character towards the middle/end of S1.

Hydra stuff was good,it's just the secondary hydra members which weren't the best. And based on the S2 finale,I really hope those people they showed aren't gonna be returning,cause it'd make the henchmen look like a huge joke and can't take those guys seriously. Though S2 did have alot of questionable stuff. Why kill Tripp! And turned Ward into a secondary character for alot of it. And then his relationship with that other agent wasn't good.

Now the bold is a major spoiler.

Now S2 just came on Netflix on 6/12. So should Majingir have put the part of (spoiler) in Spoilers or not?

I mean, I know nothing about that movie or when it was released as it's not in my area of interest but I would certainly think so.

Also may want to spoiler your response to me in case you think that's a spoiler that shouldn't have been given.


To me, there is a big difference between spoiling something in a thread dedicated to the movie/show in question versus a random thread such as that one or the OT thread where anything and everything can be discussed.

If I don't want to see a potential spoiler in a particular movie or show it's easy for me to avoid that thread but it's impossible to know to avoid the OT thread if a spoiler is posted.

Yea I just looked at imdb page for the show. The season started in late september and finished just over a month ago, May 12th. And I do the same thing I am waiting for Arrow and the Flash to come to Netflix, so I haven't entered either one of those threads. But that Agents of SHIELD thing I had no way to avoid, it was a post replying to me and it was an OT thread.

In that case and in that thread I would say it certainly shouldn't have been spoiled.

I am years behind in several shows (one being Game of Thrones as an example). I was unable to avoid the big recent spoiler because of social media but that's on me I guess.

I don't go in that thread and I've done that with many other shows/movies in the past.

I hate being so careful avoiding threads here intentionally only to have something spoiled in the OT thread.


But more to the point of the ultimate question, I think at this point the statute of limitations has run out on a movie like Ghostbusters. FYI, the Stay Puff Marshmallow man dies.
