To help prevent spoilers and keep the peace between people, I propose a spoiler warning addition to the rules. I know our forum isn’t big right now, but I don’t want to warn, suspend, or ban people for spoiling the ending. (If it comes down to it, I personally will warn BOTH people.)

If the book, movie, or other material fits the following criteria, you must use the spoiler warning procedures:
A certain amount of time after the release. A television show episode must rerun. Depending on what everyone agrees on, a movie must have spent so many weeks in the box office or goes out on video or DVD. (I personally say when it comes out on DVD because we have people in different countries and box office release dates are different.) With books, a year would be a good measure. People read at different rates and may take longer to read. People also have different schedules, we can’t all read a book in 2-3 day period. Other media will have certain spoiler warning periods.
A plot detail or a certain scene gives would give the ending away, a spoiler must be used.
If the plot slightly changes between the book and the movie, from the manga to the anime, or to other forms. (We could go back an forth on the Harry Potter books and movies, but not all people have read the books or seen the movies.)
If you are posting theories on another portion of a series.

Since we don’t have a spoiler tags yet, (no hurries Esgar,) I prose we use the headers or text with all capitals with a phrase like Spoilers Ahead or MAJOR SPOILER WARNING.
