Be mindful when posting spoilers or spoiler content.
If you’re making a post put “(Spoilers)” at the start of your post.
If your post is an image mark it as NSFW.

When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,

For films, wait until it’s been released to streaming for at least a few weeks.
For TV shows, consider the whole season as a spoiler until the last episode of the season has aired, then wait a few weeks.
