It is clearly stated in the thread title that spoilers will be discussed in the open, if you don't want to be spoiled on things, don't enter the thread, it really is that simple.
As the overlord herself,
@trampledamage said a few years ago now:
SPOILERS
As discussions have clearly shown - the Trek Lit forum needs to handle spoilers differently from the rest of the BBS. Here is my understanding of how the spoiler rules for this forum currently work:
- Spoiler coding for all books less than six months old, unless you're in a thread for that book marked with SPOILERS in it's title
- Once past six months of publication, spoiler coding is not required;
- Unless you are in a thread where the original poster has made it clear that they are asking about books they have not read yet.
As with all things, common sense should prevail - if you aren't sure, just spoiler code it.
