[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6278892, member: 1"] Not really. I think it varies so much. I think putting it in a headline or subject requires the most care -- stuff people can't avoid even if they're being careful. The problem is, the delays vary massively. A given foreign TV show (by which I guess I generally mean US shows, since I don't really watch non-English language stuff) might show here the next day, the next week, the next month, the next year. And vice versa - stuff made in my country might show in yours the same day (as they seem to be doing with [I]Doctor Who[/I] these days) or up to years later (as you're getting with stuff like [I]Downton Abbey[/I]). Can I spost [I]Who[/I] spoilers when the episode ends? Can I post[I] Abbey[/I] spoilers now, depsite the fact that there's a year-old season you guys haven't seen yet? Should I have posted [I][U]Avengers[/U][/I] or[I] Iron Man 3[/I] spoilers two weeks before the US theatrical debut? Do you want to know who the bad guy was in[I] Broadchurch[/I]? Additionally, we seem to get all the Marvel movies a couple of weeks earlier than the US; but half the Oscar nominated movies this year didn't reach our shores until Jan/Feb. So I don't think it's possible to really put a rule on it. Years later is obviously OK, but we're going to extremes there. I do notice that some habitually spoilering folks get really angry when the reverse happens, which is odd. [/QUOTE]
