Do not post spoilers unless in designated spoiler threads.
Posters posting spoilers will be warned or given infractions as the situation merits. First time offenders will most likely be warned.
What are spoilers?
TV
Spoilers will be treated as any information posting the results of a show that has yet to air in Australia.
For further clarification, for the WWE major shows this is:
RAW: Wednesday 3:30PM (US - taped and aired live Monday night.)
Smackdown: Friday 3:30PM (US - taped usually Tuesday evenings. Aired Friday nights so we get the show before USA)
Certain rumours/news are not spoilers unless they are specific. Examples:
WWE are going to bring back Goldberg in September - not a spoiler.
Goldberg is going to make a surprise appearance on Raw in two weeks - spoiler.
PPV
No new threads about a PPV can be made until the day after it airs in Australia (Tuesday). Many people see the PPV at differing times and don't want spoilers.
Spoilers can be posted after the PPV completes within the PPV threads. However if you post a thread spoiling a result someone who may be avoiding this board can still see the spoiler on the board index page (the latest thread is always displayed).
Can we use spoiler tags?
Yes. However it is discouraged in spoiler free discussions. Only because noone will read it and we don't want the thread full of ugly spoiler tags.
How do I use spoiler tags?
[spoiler!]This is a spoiler.[/spoiler!]
Type your text between the spoiler tags, except WITHOUT THE EXCLAMATION MARK (!)
It will look like this
Can I make a new spoiler thread
Yes only if you follow these rules:
- You must give warning of the spoiler in the thread title
- No spoilers in the thread title
- Be as vague as possible.
- In the thread itself you can post without spoiler tags.
Thread title example
!SPOILER! - Raw 19th July
*SPOILER* - Returning superstar
Note: Depending on context, sometimes a thread title that may seem vague may also be spoilers. For example if Zack Ryder is in a title match, and someone posts "SPOILER - ZACK RYDER" fresh after the PPV match, that's spoiling the result. "SPOILER - NEW CHAMPION" is right out ya dingus!
- IMPORTANT - If your spoiler is in the first twenty words of your opening post please use something like this:
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
Just copy and paste it.
The reason for this is if you put your mouse over a thread title, you get the first few sentences pop up. This avoids spoilers by this way.
Example:
Thread
Mouse-over view
If anyone has any questions please ask.
Please report spoilers.
Please report any spoilers using the report button. Especially PPV spoilers as I may not be able to respond to these as they happen. I will organise another moderator to deal with spoilers on PPV days.
