Okay, so I'm trying to figure out a balance between having the Lit forum be safe for people who don't regularly keep up with the TV shows but might watch them in future, and not making the act of posting too annoying for people who do keep up with TV.
When we only had Discovery, it was relatively easy - keep TV talk out of the Lit threads. However, we are now in the wonderful position of having more than one current TV show.
For the meat and potatoes of this forum - the threads about the books - the rule is still as it was. Spoiler code TV plot discussion in the book threads.
But we now have more than one "TV show affecting Litverse" threads.
This is my current thinking, and the way I will handle things for now:
I'm open to discussion on this because I don't watch TV, so please, those of you that do and have an opinion on how this would best be handled, comment below. Thanks heaps!

This is my current thinking, and the way I will handle things for now:
- Spoilers are allowed for the TV show that the thread is discussing
- Spoiler code any reference to another TV show if it's about the current season on air.
- Once the season finishes you can openly discuss that TV show in the other TV show threads but not in the book threads.
