Spoilers

[-Eyeless-]

How could un-aired BB exist? What's in newspapers is information that won't effect the viewing pleasure of someone watching it on TV. Big Brother can't really have anything spoilerable. If you've missed a live show, then avoid the BB forums for information, it's your fault for spoiling it for yourself, really "/

What is in newspapers and online can easily ruin it, if a housmate is removed or a new person is going to go in and somebody just want to see how it unfolds by watching it then of course it ruins it because people are revealing things that are going to happen later on!

Good draft, I think it should be a little more like this however;
[*] Big Brother forum - If the information has been aired on the 10PM C4 programme, it doesn't need to be inside spoiler tags. Otherwise - it does.
[*] Films forum - Any major plot points about any film should be in spoiler tags (Because, People still mightn't of seen it)
[*]Television forum - Any major plot points about a television programme that hasn't been aired (ie. information received from other media) should be in spoiler tags as well as any plot information for shows which have only been aired within the past 7 days, or are still available on BBC iPlayer
[*]Anime - Any major plot points about an anime or manga that hasn't been released yet (ie. information received from other media) should be in spoiler tags. I don't know how common this is in anime/manga.

I edited yours a bit just for clarity because Channel four has a similar service

Any television programme?

That would mean...

6 days ago; America detonated a nuclear warhead over the pacific ocean, source BBC NEWS.

Would have to be filtered... It should be programmes that have plot lines.

"Any film" is just over the top. If you want to avoid a particular film, then you can just avoid threads with that film in the title.

Any film isn't OTT, it's only spoiler tags, it's not hard to use spoiler tags, all you have to do is highlight and click "spoil"

And it says plot lines, a neuclear warhead on america isn't a plotline.

Instead of flaming me why not just amend my post? :S

But why not use the spoilers? how hard is it to highlight it then press spoil? It is just laziness in most cases (not aimed just at you )

Why is it "flaming you"? It's a suggestion.

Anyway, I've got an idea - Lets just put the whole forum in spoiler tags!!

Why do you have to make obscene posts like that? This is a mature discussion, about the rule, which needs to be amended.

Then surely if threads appear like "Harris Gay Sex Shame" appears, you'll have the brains to not read it if you think it will ruin your opinion on Harris or the Big Brother. If you don't want to know what happens in the next Doctor Who for example, you will avoid threads that say "Doctor Who: Christmas Special" because it's obviously going to contain spoilers. If you cry that it doesn't have [SPOILER] written in the title, then it's your own fault for ruining it for yourself. You can't blame other people for your own actions :/

I can't see any reasons for spoilering Big Brother threads, because it's obvious that live shows which you may miss for some reason will be talked about and thread titles nearly always give it away. If you want to watch what happens next, ignore the forums until you've watched it, it's common sense really. The same goes for Newspaper articles, I very much doubt newspapers will even have stories ready for you to spoil, and when you think about it, newspapers can't spoil a show because they are a form of secondary BB entertainment, and most of the things in Newspapers are information that goes alongside Big Brother, like sex scandals etc. You won't hear about those things in the show...

"Any film" is just over the top. If you want to avoid a particular film, then you can just avoid threads with that film in the title.

Agreed, as old people say, "It's your own stupid fault" for looking at things that clearly give away this sort of information.
