What is an acceptable time to post spoilers?


How long after an episode or movie has been released is it acceptable?

reply

I think anytime is fine, as long as you post a spoiler warning in advance and don't put the spoiler in the title.

reply

Exactly! I always include *****Spoiler***** in the heading before I post something about a film/

reply

THAT SHOULD BE THE ACCEPTED GUIDELINE.

When you have this facility to do this then it really doesn’t matter,but anyone that posts a spoiler without warning or even worse, puts a spoiler in the title of a thread, then they are selfish w@nkers.

if it's a TV show I'd say whenever it's no longer the newest episode. If it's a movie I'd say after the theatrical run.

reply

Never unless you give a warning in advance.

Like so:

Thank God you didn't tell me the name of the movie or else I'd really be spoiled.

I'm thoughtful that way
Wanna know what happens to King Kong?

*** SPOILERS***

He runs off with Fay Wray, they have a lovely child and retire to Florida...it was moving!

I haven't been that surprised since I found out Bruce Willis was a cross dresser in The Sixth Sense. Now that was a twist!

reply

Ha!
I've had this discussion about spoilers so many times that the Willis movie is always my third go-to😀!

Well done

Good grief Shogun, I can't believe that you left out the most important part ...
Kong then gets elected to be president of the condominium association, where he gets accused of stealing the association's treasury in order to finance his cocaine addiction.
Such is life when you have such huge nostrils.

I loved the part where the retirees chased him out onto the Golf course and he fell into the sandtrap!
So tragic😢Poor Kong

I think it's fine if it's on the specific board for that film or tv show. Why would you go there and risk seeing spoilers if you haven't seen it yet.

reply

I think that it's fine to post spoilers on the specific board for sure, but it's always nice to post spoiler warnings. Sometimes I go to a board to see what others have posted about the movie as I'm not sure if I want to see it or not and I don't always want to know the ending.
