From an objective standpoint, the episodes do not belong in the Spoiler board because they are not spoilers anymore. Everyone can watch the episodes now by their own account, and if they haven't, it is not an excuse to consider them a spoiler. With that in mind, it is reasonable to allow content from the 3rd DVD volume to be disclosed freely on the forum without restrictions, just like a normal episode airing - even if it isn't a normal episode airing.

If we have to wait two or three more months, no one will even care anymore. It's like just now opening a discussion for King of Omashu. No one's going to want to talk about it. We need open discussions now - a lot of interest has already been lost.

Uhhh, yeah, pretty much what I was going to say. If you don't want to see it, dont come onto DH. Simple.

I agree that opening discussions about the new episodes now is fine, but if anyone has oodles of info on the new eps, please let it be in plain sight that the info is there. "Info on new eps-don't read if you don't want to know" (or something along those lines) would be nice. I'm planning on waiting to see the new episodes on TV (I'm lame, I know) so it would be nice if I don't have to go on a DH hiatus to avoid "spoilers." Please and Thanks uverwor[L]d addict♥

For clarification, the 'wait a week' option means that after the waiting period is over, the dvd discussion would be allowed on all boards.
As for the meaning of spoilers in this thread's context.... for a short while after the Siege of the North episodes aired, Yue's fate should have been spoiler marked/warned -- just because the episodes aired didn't mean everyone watched it right when it locally aired. I see similar for this case with the dvds. Because they're still new, if the 'discussion everywhere' decision is made, there should be some warning in the thread title or individual post so people will know what they're walking into.

What about spoiler tags. Maybe stuff like omg major plot twist can go in spoiler tags for a couple days.

That is why we have spoiler tags. The whole point of this poll is to see where everyone else stands on the issue and then make the most fair decision from there.

No need to state the obvious. There is also no need for this type of post either gacs.

I agree with a lot of people and feel that if it's already released by Nick and the week after standard is done people shouldn't be fighting that they're spoilers when they can see them online in the click of a button. But I'm fine with spoiler tags too if people insist. Just an opinion

I personally think that letting spoilers be released is fine. ^^; That's just my opinion though. I think that if we let the spoilers be discussed it would help bring more activity to the Avatar boards which have been... more stagnant due to the lack of episodes officially airing on TV.

Since Nick released them, the episodes aren't spoilers. Nonetheless, I believe that spoiler tags are a very good idea indeed.

I think spoilers should be allowed by now. It's been over a week since the DVD.

I don't know which to vote... With TBR I think spoilers shud be allowed now... I suppose tho it's not just the members on here that need to be protected there are loads of lurkers who come on and they might not wanna be spoilt either... I know from experiance I was a lurker for a good few months when the 1st half of S2 spoilers were out....
But when the nxt DVD comes out I think there shud absolute max security on the spoilers for a good few weeks coz it may take ages for ppl to get the dvd/ download it or whatever....hat's what I thinks
