Speaking of Series 3...

Since they've started getting things ready for the actual filming next month, anything that might be spoilery- guest stars, actual shots from the episodes being filmed, things like that, please put it under a cut. Do NOT use the spoiler cut because it doesn't work with this layout and it won't actually cut anything.

I don't think episodes names should be considered spoilers because we're going to add them to the tags anyway.

I'm going to ask that once the episodes air, that nothing is uploaded here for 3 reasons: 1.there are a number of other places you can track the files down.
2. file sharing can lead to communities being shut down
3. the majority of things that are uploaded tend to pop up on tumblr even if you don't want it to and that is the fastest way to make your files get yanked from wherever you're hosting it.

How long are things considered to be spoilers? I know the majority of people will either be watching the episodes when they are or getting them shortly afterwards. Are they considered spoilers until the episodes actually air in the US or should there be some sort of a timeframe like '2 months after it airs in the UK'?

Thoughts? Comments?

I'm going to leave this up at the top for the next week.

I would say consider them spoilers until they air in the US (UNLESS that is going to be like 6 months), or for 3-ish months, perhaps? Though I plan to be all over the episodes as soon as I can! uugh@the wait!

I agree with this. I know most people will download or stream the eps if they can, but not everyone can do that.

I think if you do decide to make it a '2 month' or '3 month' time period, as long as you announce it plainly (so people know they're running the risk of spoilers after that) is fair.
