How much time has to pass before something is longer at risk for a spoiler?

It's always a spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen it.

How hard is it to add the word "spoiler" to your post?

Id say spoiler threads are cool for House of Cards. Maybe wait a week longer for True Detective.

Vader was....

Some on here will kill you for spoilering a Buster Keaton silent film.

It's one year after the official release of whatever you've watched.

After that, I would throw up a spoiler warning, but I'm not jumping through hoops or acknowledging someone if they click on a thread and see something.

This all being said, you're just trying to be a jerk if you put a spoiler in a thread title.

Probably something like 10 years but even then there will be some outliers. For instance, someone here today said they had never seen the Godfather movies. But hey, after 10 years if you haven't seen a particular movie/TV show there's a good chance you won't and even if you got "spoiled" after so many years will you even remember the spoiler?

Depends on the grasp it has on pop culture and how long it's been out.

If I'm going to talk about Star Wars, I'm not going to adjust myself for spoilers. If you haven't seen Star Wars you have a slight problem.

"I don't want to see it because I'm not a nerd, or I'm not interested in that."

See that's where you're problem comes from. You're something worse than a nerd. You're a social outcast. Prep your wrist for the bar code and wear this patch on all your clothes.

There's definitely a time cutoff, but I have NO idea what it is. Someone below mentioned GOT...that show is still going so any spoilers should absolutely be prefaced as such. If someone is posting a spoiler about Wizard of Oz....eehhhhhh I think enough time has passed.

I'd say as a general rule, if it is still currently in theaters/on TV it is definitely too early to just throw spoilers out haphazardly.

Question: Why is spoiling anything about episodes of a tv series that haven't aired yet even debatable?

Answer: It's not. You don't have book discussion in a thread about the tv series based on said book/books.

Yeah if you haven't seen season 1 of GOT and get mad when you find out someone died that's on you.

Why not just put spoiler in the title and the thread. It's on the reader after that.
