Lots of people.

Not in USA or Canada.

Will not see Broken Bow tomorrow night.

Or night after.

Or night after that.

This forum is not a hermetically sealed playground where people can dance around and post topics like "Oh my God they killed Mayweather after only one episode" under the assumption that everyone's seen the same episodes you have.

So no spoilers in thread titles, and denote spoiler content in thread bodies by either mentioning SPOILER in the thread title and possibly also the use of spoiler space within threads, especially in those that develop spoilers as they progress.

Easy.

Just like we've always done things.

Also, keep in mind that nobody will have problems with un-spoiler-marked threads about basic stuff like new screengrabs of the nudist origami mounted on the walls of Archer's quarters. Going overboard on spoiler warnings will have a Boy who cried Wolf effect and diminish their usefulness.

Have a nice day.

Origami is just one of the many activities I've participated in while naked. I'm no longer welcome to the community center after that. I've also chatted on ICQ naked and fried bacon in the nude. I'm never frying bacon in the nude again, though.

Hmm... personally I would think, or at least hope, the people here would have enough common sense to relize any new threads would contain spoiler information. A topic saying, "On tonight's episode..." shouldn't really need $$$ in it.

Well, in essence, that is a spoiler warning. As long as you make it clear that the thread is about something which is considered a spoiler, you're okay.

Just don't call a thread something vague like "Archer and T'Pol", and then go on to describe half the plot of the latest episode, or something.
