Spoilers - The Spoilers Board Supplemental Rules & Thread Guide! *Updated 11-10-09*

Welcome To The Spoilers Board!

Supplemental Rules and Guidelines

This is where we discuss things that haven't happened yet (and considering how unreliable some spoilage sources are, may never happen).

In order to get the most out of your time here on the Spoilers Board, we ask that you follow a few simple additional guidelines:

1. Please include the title of the show in your thread topic. Many, many shows are discussed here on the spoilers board. So that everyone can easily find the threads that pertain to their favorite shows, please clearly label your thread. The name of the show should be the first thing in the title.

2. Do not include any actual spoilers in your thread topic. Some people only enjoy reading spoilers for certain shows, and prefer not to be spoiled for others. This way, they can avoid spoilers if they choose to.

3. Please do not start a thread to ask for spoilers. If people have spoilers, they will share them. Also, be appreciative, not demanding! People share what they can, and what they choose to. If someone has more information than they're telling, that's their business. It's rude to badger people for more spoilers, and it tends to make them feel pressured. If they feel that way, chances are they won't want to come back and share more spoilers, so everyone loses.

4. Don't tease! However, if you do have spoilers that you aren't able or willing to share just yet, it's inappropriate to come on the forum and tell everyone that. No one likes it when someone posts, "I know all about _____! Do you want to know???" Well, yes, this is the spoilers board, so we can assume that everyone wants to know. Teasing people so that we can all read two pages of posts begging for information and telling you how wonderful you are is not appropriate. If you want to share, share. If you don't, don't tease.

5. Give Credit Where Credit Is Due. If you find spoilers on another website or message board, please be sure to credit the source (if it's a message board, credit both the screen name of the poster and the website). Please DO NOT copy exact quotes from other sites without permission -- that is a violation of copyright. Please rephrase the spoilers in your own words. Also, please keep in mind, the posting of unauthorized script excerpts is not permitted. If you post spoilers from this board elsewhere, these rules all apply.

6. There will be no additional couple-specific spoiler threads or character-specific spoiler threads approved or allowed here at the board. Please do NOT ask for any such threads because the requests will be denied immediately. If you have any questions regarding this, please send a private message to NikNak, diamondmolls or Shnicky.

7. Effective immediately, the Spoilers Board Moderators reserve the right to temporarily close any thread that does not heed four official warnings given on any issue. This means that, if the Spoilers Board Moderators have to come in with four official warnings about any issue whatsoever, within 24 hours or so, then that particular thread will be temporarily closed. The duration of closure is subject to the Spoilers Board Moderators' discretion. Upon re-opening of the temporarily closed thread, said thread will be closed again if any warnings are given within 24-48 hours of the reopening. Lastly, if numerous warnings need to be given over the course of a week, and the moderators suspect an attempt to get around the "four warnings" rule to avoid closure, we reserve the right to temporarily close the thread.

8. Please do not post unauthorized script excerpts from any television show.

Thanks and have fun posting here at Spoilers!

Since the Spoilers Board is very busy, the threads will be divided up among the three moderators of the board, in an effort to make the board more manageable, and to monitor the threads as effectively and carefully as we individually can. Please see the below list for the assigned moderator for each spoiler thread, along with the thread link for that particular show. As new threads are added for upcoming shows, or as threads are closed for cancelled TV shows no longer airing, the list will be updated with any changes or revisions, providing you with the most current information. Feel free to contact the assigned moderator for any questions or problems for that specific thread. Of course, any one of us will always be here, so if need be, or when in doubt, please contact all three of us with any concerns. We are here to help in the best way we possibly can. Thanks for posting here with us at the Spoilers Board.
