Why was the thread for <insert show title here> closed?
- Threads are closed when shows get their own boards, they're inactive or the event has passed. During the creation of this thread in March 2008, the master thread was purged leaving only active show threads open and on the list. If you would like to seriously reopen a thread (the old thread guide is located here), please PM SusanXG for consideration. Not every request will be granted. Threads that are created for the sole purpose of posting DVD information (you can post that here) or that are immediately abandoned will be closed abruptly. Think before you create a thread.

What is the spoiler policy here?
Spoiler Rules - Information is considered to be a spoiler if it details something that has not yet been broadcast anywhere in the world.
- Promos that have already aired on television and small episode descriptions are not considered to be spoilers.
- Pictures from promos that have already aired on television, or are from general promotional material at official websites or published in magazines are not considered to be spoilers.
- Pictures of clips, episode stills and filming pictures of scenes from an upcoming episode that are available on the Internet and have not been aired on television are considered to be spoilerish.
- Avatars made from promos that have already aired on television, or are from general promotional material at official websites or published in magazines are not considered to be spoilers.
- Avatars made from pictures of clips, episode stills from official websites, and filming pictures of scenes from an upcoming episode should not be used until after the episode airs because avatars can be seen all over Fan Forum, and we want to respect the wishes of members that don’t want to see any spoilers for an upcoming episode.
- Small snippets/blurbs from TV Guide/Entertainment Weekly etc. are fine.
- Longer episode descriptions (like for example the ones FOX provides), are considered to be spoilerish and should just be discussed on the episode discussion thread until the episode airs or they should be posted with spoiler tags in various threads on the television boards here.
