Spoilers aren't allowed on TV boards, it's in the site-wide Rules:

I think there's a Doctor Who thread on the spoiler board, although I expect it's buried a few pages back by this point. The spoiler tag is not meant to be a substiitute for the spoiler board, it's meant to be used more as a courtesy in discussions where some people might not have had a chance to see the episode yet. __________________

What consititutes as a spoiler though? I mean if we see an obvious character filming- Matt or Karen or Arthur- are photos of this allowed to be posted? And what about if Alex is seen as River Song? Another fairly obvious returnee as she says she wants to do it again this year, would it constitute being a spoiler? Just wondering

Okay last question. What was the policy back when Davros or The Master were returning and every single fan knew this and was, frankly, the worst kept secret on TV? Cheers for answering

We didn't have a DW board at FF before the end of S3. I remember chatting about S3 back when we had a DW thread on the SF/F board.
But I can tell you that I probably would not have known that John Simm would play the Master if it wasn't for a slip on Outpost Gallifrey, where they accidentally posted about it in their news feed one day. The rest of the time they just said Simm would be playing Saxon, and they considered the fact that Saxon was the Master to be a spoiler. I didn't know that Derek Jacobi would be the Master either, even knowing that John Simm would play the Master. The FF DW forum started in September 2007, so it was open through S4. I could be wrong, but I think the return of Davros was announced on the official DW website before the finale aired, so it wasn't a spoiler. Also, in that series Rose appeared in the first ep, so it wasn't a spoiler that Rose would return in S4 either. __________________

Sorry for all the questions- I only joined here 9 months ago and started posting here off-season and the only other board I post on is 24, which is obviously on the Past TV section so haven't experienced the whole spoiler rule thing yet so cheers for clarifying __________________

Stuff that comes from actors on the show but isn't officially sanctioned by the production team is a bit of a grey area, but generally I'd consider it a spoiler. One would hope though that people involved with the show wouldn't be doing things like that, the production team is pretty careful about what details they release and when. If something was in the trailer, that's not a spoiler. So, for example, if there was even a hint in the trailer that Davros might be involved, it's not a spoiler to speculate that Davros will return. It IS a spoiler to say you know for certain Davros will be back because you saw a picture someone unofficially posted of him on set. If anyone is really unsure whether something is a spoiler, at minimum use spoiler tags. __________________
