spoil·er (spoi'lər )

1. A published piece of information that divulges a surprise, such as a plot twist in a movie.

2. A remark which reveals important plot elements from books or movies, thus denying the reader (of the article) the proper suspense when reading the book or watching the movie.


Ok, I am starting a poll to see what everyone thinks about spoilers. Some message baords don't care about posting spoilers, and you can post them anywhere. Other boards (such as The Office) are very strict about where you can post plot information published about future episodes. The Office board even has a special sub-forum just for this very purpose, and also discourages posting any kind of spoilerish threads until after the West Coast airing.

So at this point, just vote on how you feel about spoilers. If there are enough people that do not like them, I will start a Spoiler thread and pin it at the top of the main page, and ask that everyone post all spoilerish information in it.

Ready, Set, Vote!

Hey I saw the poll regarding spoilers and wanted to add a more detailed comment but noticed I couldn't. Thinking that others might too I'm making this thread.

See I don't think the spoiler conversation is as simple as hating them (because they hurt ruin the show) or love them (because I read them all). Personally I read a lot of spoilers but I like having them in certain place. It means I can see them whenever I want to, and not when I don't. So that gives me the control over how much I want to "ruin" the show for myself, not someone else. You never know when some major info gets leaked that is beyond normal "Dan is going to save so-in-so spoilers. So even though I like spoilers I still think they should be in a dedicated thread.

What does everyone else think.
