would that include things that's on the official sites as well? because not everyone visits the official sites.

Yes. official sites are not allowed either, because they're updated right after the show airs, and it usually takes us 4-7 days to release the sub.

Basically if it hasn't shown up in the series yet, people should not be talking about it. That simple

what about : guessing what might happen to the future of the story, based on TN's release only, and not from any outside information source. does it also considered spoilers? since it has something to do with the future of the story, eventhough it's only a guess.

just wanna clear that out, cos i don't wanna get the wrong idea here, hahaha.. :P thx before for the answer.

So... when should one use spoiler tags? Any more guidelines for that?

I suppose one case would be when posting in the section for series X and referring to released episodes of series Y...

Kouga kind of hit the nail on the head "don't talk about stuff not released yet". I'd like to append a "don't bring in information from wikipedia" to that since that kind of bugs me.

After that people should use spoiler tags at their own discretion. I tend to use it on the first post in case people accidentally read the release post without downloading it first, but the contents of an episode are fair game for discussion

I assume this goes for unfinished series only?

I just don't get it... What does spoiler do to you anyway?
It never affected me... I think...

P.S. I'm not saying just because I don't care doesn't mean I will spoil it for everyone else :D

I dont like to be spoiled, it ruins what is to come, i think this goes for most people,

we have the spoiler tag for the current ep so people dont end up being spoiled by reading the thread before they get to watch it, I'm classic for this so i like the spoiler tag

Why would anyone read the discussion thread for a given episode if he doesn't want it spoiled?

because sometimes I like to see what the general feeling of the episode is before I get around to watching it, granted I don't do this as much now since i nearly watch everything as it comes thru now with the exception of ks7,

Spoiling - (V) posting something that happens in an episode that we haven't released yet.
Ban - (N) the well deserved punishment for performing the above action


Any questions?
