1. Regarding spoilers...

I think it's a good idea that people should warn others! The difficulty lies in boundary cases where the reviewer / poster didn't think they were spoiling anything but other's thought so.

In blatant cases most definitely *spoiler* tags! If you are going to give away critical plot twists and the like others deserve a warning. However I'm less clear what people think should be the rule when posting your own movie reviews that give away general plot points. Perhaps *Possible spoilers* ? But then that applies to just about any detailed review.

What do you guys think?

I think a "possible spoilers" warning would be fine. cyberswede Jan 2014 #7
