Is that also a poster's discretion or a requirement? though thinking aloud, i think if the thread explicitly states from the beginning the boundaries then the scope of what's allowed can be narrowed.
That ones slightly different, in the boardwalk empire threads we also don't allow, or atleast we spoiler "real life" occurrences (like Capone dying how and when ).
Something like GOT has since loyal book and tv fan base, if it was a movie or a mini series I'd probably say it shouldn't be separated but for a show that's got multiple seasons a think its fair that the book stuff with the spoilers intact are separated out.
Again all I am trying to do is have a baseline, trying to draw a line in the sand is hard its deff a judgement thing. If Sutter spits out jax is going to die in week 2, its obv not important enough for the show if the damn director clues us in.
We all know there are websites out there that "insiders" gossip on about the show, or even those in OOT who work in the industry , its stuff like this that I feel is a real spoiler. Stuff no one could possibly know unless they had exclusive inside knowledge. While someone could of put it somewhere else and then its "public" well...do really have to explain this more?
We all just need to use our judgement, is that something I would of spoiled? for sure, again I am just not going to have every mod delete all those or spoiler tag them or ban someone for doing it. Go ahead and call that guy a prick if you like though.
