Spoilers Red Alert. Images from the Finale are leaking online. Get off twitter, reddit, and youtube ASAP.

Not everyone is addicted and needs it to live.

That's a weirdly dismissive and judgemental statement to make. A lot of people rely on the internet to actually socialize as themselves. Not everyone has the privilege or ability to leave their housing. Framing the internet as an 'addiction' in such a general and broad sense—or even at all—is really callous.
 
Ok I think the mods need to clarify this. Is there a rule against uber doober super big spoilers? Or *all* spoilers ok if the have very clear spoiler tags?
 
I think untagged spoilers that fit the spoiler thread title are fine, but spoilers off topic are not.
Like posting an E10 spoiler in the E9 thread, or a PRO spoiler in the LDS section, etc.

On the prior, you’re right. I don’t think leaked photos are generally okay because of issues with copyright and getting the board in trouble. But they’re usually prettt quickly dealt with. (Another reason why I suggested that the poster in question PM me.)

As for the later, I’m pretty sure that as long as it’s been six months since the episode airs, spoilers are fair game.
 
You don’t get banned for that. All relevant threads are spoiler tagged. You can additionally enclose your post with spoiler tags. You don’t have to post copyrighted pictures, if you know something, you are free to say it…

I posted images in a thread that was labeled spoilers for episode 9, and they were removed by a moderator. I take that as they don't want open spoilers posted even in a thread labeled spoilers for episode 10.

We have internet addiction programs worldwide, I stand by my statement the internet is addictive.
 
The ruling: Leaked / not officially released spoilers for an upcoming episode--not okay here. The spoiler tag on this thread is for being able to discuss what has been officially released up to this point.

In addition to anything else, if it wasn't officially released, there could be legal issues.
 
Hey, not an actual leaked spoiler or anything, but just to let anyone know, there is a MASSIVE "clue" in the end credits of episode 9. It basically spoils quite a bit about the next episode. That picture is making the rounds. So don't watch the end credits if you don't want it spoiled.

The heck are you talking about. Everything in the end credits I’m pretty sure has been accounted for now.
