Spoiler Reminder

[Mandoli]

A little reminder from your (somewhat) friendly head of GSP:

We're beginning the seasons of pretty much all of the syndicated and big shows. So as a note, please make sure that any game-related content in your posts for any currently-airing show in the Modern Talk forum is kept under a spoiler.

Posts that have to do with gameplay that doesn't affect the results (such as Showcase themes) aren't spoiler-worthy.

So if you've got anything that you'd like to share and you think it's a spoiler... It goes under a cut. Thanks.

Just gonna say that a single line behind a spoiler tag, a line that doesn't even spoil anything, is kinda pointless and borders on posting just to post. Spoiler tags are for actually divulging results or the like, rather than what you're doing.

So let's do ourselves a big favor - if you're going to post spoilers, make sure that they're actually spoilers and not vague statements. You could be talking about anything that happened in the show.

I know I say at least a full day. I wrote in the rules, however:

When posting something that happened in a game show, keep any major information under a spoiler tag within a 48 hour period. This is two days. This is also to make sure that those who DVR shows get a chance to watch what happened without reading it online. If something happens in a show and it's not spoiler-worthy (or it was released in advance, such as news stories or social media accounts), don't put it under the spoiler tags.

So I would hope that you realize that for courtesy, anything that affects game play goes in a spoiler tag. It's the hush emoji under the button where you would insert an attachment. Please... I can't keep hiding people's discussion like this.

For example, Price could be talked about, but if...

SPOILER: Click to show

A guy doesn't get any numbers right in One Away, for example, then wins the whole show...

That whole statement goes under the spoiler tag. Now, if you wanted to at least mention a theme for a Showcase, that would not. Understand?

I didn't tell people that they couldn't post spoilers. I just said "don't post them without a spoiler tag".
