Using Spoiler Tags
Spoiler tags protect other users from unwanted plot reveals. Always use them when discussing:
Always Spoiler Tag:
- • Plot twists and reveals
- • Character deaths
- • Ending explanations
- • Major story events
- • Killer/monster reveals
No Spoiler Tag Needed:
- • General genre discussion
- • Non-plot-specific reviews
- • Cast and crew information
- • Release dates and availability
- • Trailers and promotional material
⚠️ Spoiler Grace Period
For new releases (within 2 weeks of release), ALWAYS use spoiler tags, even for minor details. After 2 weeks, still use tags for major plot points. Classic films (1+ years old) can be discussed more freely, but spoiler tags are still appreciated.
