A few people have accidentally had things spoiled for them recently, so I've put together a very simple spoiler policy.
1) If a thread is not marked with the tag [SPOILERS] do not put any spoilers in it. Spoiler tags used to work, but they don't translate to a lot of the recent ways to view forums (Tapatalk, etc.) and, let's face it, they're a bit of a pain the ass.
2) If a thread is marked [SPOILERS] post any spoilers you wish visibly.
A SPOILER counts as information prior to FIRST BROADCAST. This includes set photos, leaks, etc. It does NOT include official trailers or promotional materials.
So, if a thread does not have the [SPOILERS] tag, you are safe to view it if the show/movie has not shown anywhere yet.
If you want to discuss spoilers which have not yet been broadcast in the show itself, you are welcome to start a thread tagged [SPOILERS]. It's fine for a movie or TV show to have two simultaneous threads. You can join in the one your spoiler tolerance prefers.
I think that makes it as simple as it can be! If you see a spoiler in a on-spoiler thread, report it and a moderator can move it to a spoiler thread if necessary.
