Not trying to be authoritative here, but I thought it might be helpful to try to come to some generally understood, and hopefully agreed upon, ground rules. Perhaps netiquette is a better way to put it than ground rules.
1) Lost Season '#' thread (hoping the will be many more after season 3 ) Please no spoilers without tags. Let's consider any rumors or inside info as spoiler until it's made public. And how about Monday after an episode airs being the cutoff for being considered a spoiler? Give folks over the weekend to watch a 'taped' episode.
2) Episode specific threads. Free discussion of the episode as soon as it airs, including previews.
But please, use tags for discussing anything beyond next week, or inside info on the previews, without tags.
Episode-specific threads should be labeled by season and episode number (example, 4.1 or 4-1 is for episode 1 of season 4) and a Lostie mod will edit the thread title with the episode name after the episode has aired.
3) SPOILER free for all thread. Anything goes. I think we need one of these.
4) Any spoiler thread should have SPOILER in the title
5) Do not use spoiler tags in the first post of a thread. They spoiler text shows up in the preview when you rollover the thread title.
Other requests
Don't quote screen caps. (Bandwidth)
No spoilers in first post. (Unsuspected previews)
Thanks!
