There ought to be some concrete policy regarding spoilers.
Jun 25 2008, 2:20 AM EDT For example, 1) They need to be sourced (I don't mean "other websites," I mean an actual URL.) a) There ought to be a list of places that are considered 'valid' in terms of spoiler material. b) Anything that is considered 'valid' can be marked as a spoiler; anything not from one of these sources can be marked as a 'rumor' or 'theory'. If anyone has any criticisms of this idea, would like to add something, etc., please reply. Do you find this valuable? |

Jun 25 2008, 8:38 AM EDT I totally agree with you that the spoilers should be sourced and anything not sourced should be marked as rumors. I don't believe any spoilers unless the source is identified but I've often discovered the source isn't always accurate either..... Do you find this valuable? |

RE: There ought to be some concrete policy regarding spoilers.
Jun 26 2008, 3:25 PM EDT Excellent suggestion. I expect we'll end up with a very short list of actual sources and a long one for all the rumors and whatnot. We should also avoid heresay. For instance if some blog says "... TV Guide reports blah blah blah..." without a reference (issue, page number, etc) or a link to the story, we should treat it as a rumor unless someone can actually find the information. Merely quoting a valid source doesn't work. Do you find this valuable? |
