Leighton Meester - Read & Respond Gossip Girl Season 2 Spoiler Rules

**~Phoenix~** · 08-11-2008, 12:38 PM

Cass and I have been talking and we would like to remind everyone about the rules for spoilers now that Gossip Girl Season 2 will be starting soon.

Fan Forum Spoiler Rules

Quote:

• No spoilers about any new or current television shows are allowed on the television show forums, and they should only be posted on the Spoilers Forum. 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.
• Spoilers are allowed on the Male and Female Celebrity Forums as long as the spoilers are limited to information about the character that the actor or actress is playing on the television show that they’re on, and they’re not about the overall show. Spoilers on these forums should only be posted to discuss the upcoming work of the actor or actress, and they must be posted in separate topics and be clearly identified with the word Spoiler in the title.
• Spoiler threads for upcoming movies are permitted on the Movies forum or on forums that are devoted to a movie franchise, as long as they're clearly identified with the word Spoiler in the title. Spoilers should not be discussed on the general threads on these forums.

Pictures
• Pictures from promos that have already aired on television, been shown at the movie theatre, 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 that are available on the Internet and have not been aired on television or have not been shown at the movie theatre before the movie is released are considered to be spoilerish, and they should only be posted in designated threads for the upcoming episode or movie.

Avatars
• Avatars made from promos that have already aired on television, been shown at the movie theatre, 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 and filming pictures should not be used until after the episode airs or until the movie is released, 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.

Episode descriptions
• 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.

Our Rules

Please do not post any behind the scenes pictures and videos that are considered spoilers in other threads. Only post them in the Spoilers and Speculation thread here.
Promos that are shown on tv are not considered spoilers as the CW are happy for us to know about them.

Please read and respond to this thread so that we know you understand the rules.

Thank you

Emma and Cass.

thank you very much for starting Emma!

also, this is just a little note for the upcoming discussions that I kind of ties in with spoilers, but isn't our spoiler rules. talk of the episode can be in the discussion thread as soon as it airs on the east coast. you don't need to wait until a certain time to talk about things in those threads! SO, if you miss and episode or are on the west coast & don't watch it online, technically that will be a spoiler to you, but it is not considered spoilers! I'd advise not looking there if you haven't seen the episode yet & don't like spoilers.

thanks again Emma & to everyone here!
