Hey
I was wondering what the rule is on using Spoiler Tags. I got a PM for telling people Alex got ejected from BB and not putting it in Spoilers. Is it possible to ruin Big Brother for someone? I understand if it was the finale of lost I was talking about but it was Big Brother. So I'm wondering how far this rule goes. Also if you don't use them can you be infracted?
Thanks
Andy
I guess you can, but I think a few warnings first is much more appropiate.
Never even new there was a rule about it tbh.
Stupid rule really, it's like saying you can't make a post in world news saying for example I dunno... John Prescott punched another farmer or something, because people might not have found out yet. Surely the idea of making such threads is to inform people?
I understand if your talking about future episodes of a tv series or a film that is still in the cinema ...but for things like big brother where its always on live or a tv show which has already been broadcast I think its a bit stupid
If the information is about an unaired programme and would spoil the programme for the person watching, it should be in spoilers. If its been aired its fine.
America get some shows 4 months before the UK. So where does the rule stand then. Is it after it's aired ever or after it's aired in UK?Quote:

But I seen spoilers being added for a programme that has already be on tv.Quote:

But, it's the rules & we must abide.
