Just to clarify, this article has no spoilers in it, promise!

Hello there, House spot, I'm sure you've already worked out that it's me, my name's just up there^! Now I'm here with an article, asking for a little help I suppose, or at least a little support. Basically, I am attempting to go completely spoiler free. This means no promos, no promo pictures, no reading spoilers, basically avoiding them completely! However, with a spot this, I get the impression this is going to be quite hard. it is very large, many active users, many spoilers. Also, this spot is actually known by it's inability to keep spoilers under control, many a user has been scared off this spot for just that reason. So what I am trying to do is essentially making sure fans who don't want to be spoiled can browse this spot much easier.


Another motive for me is, well to be honest I feel let down by season five, but thinking about that I can find one clear reason for this: I was so completely hyped up by the though of all the awesomeness to come that I gave it massive expectations, which it didn't live up to, in my opinion. I think that to save my House addiction, I need to stop giving it such high expectations to better enjoy all the surprises I wouldn't see coming otherwise!!


So you ay be thinking "great, but why are you telling us this!?", well, like I said in the beginning, I need some help from you lovely, lovely people, just some little things to make sure this spot stays freer of spoilers.




1) I was thinking that to better organise the spot in terms of spoilers, we could have a "spoilers forum". I don't know how many of you are familiar with the House Fanfiction spot, but this idea is based off what oldmovie has done over there. She set up forums for each ship, where new fanfiction could be posted so you can easily see what's new and what's where. I was thinking that here on the House MD spot we could do the same. Having a spoiler forum means that if us anti-spoiler (for lack of a better word) people can just avoid that. It also means we will get less repeats, seeing whether or not a certain interview has been posted before, etc.. If that point i to work, we could do the same as the House's House of Whining website, have one forum for new spoilers, one forum for spoiler discussion. If you guys like that idea please let me know so I can set up these forums, I'm sure I can better explain what I am trying to get at in a description there.



2) When promo pictures come out, they always get posted on the spot, which is wonderful. People have taken the time to add them and they are appreciated. However, I was hoping that maybe each week someone could be kind enough to post other images after them, so that they can't be seen from the main spot page. This also links in with my previous point, in that people could mention in the new spoilers forum that the promo pictures have been added, so that people will know to go back into the images to see the new promos.



3) I know that spoilers get mentioned a lot in and around the spot, so I think it would be really helpful if people could obviously point out where spoilers are, clearly marking the beginning and end of spoilers. Eg, "I was talking to Jenny yesterday. **Spoiler Alert** We got to talking about why Bob killed Ben, she thinks it was jealousy. **End of spoiler** She also said the party starts at 5."

Just something to show people who don't want to be spoiled what text to avoid. Hey, you could even write the part in asterisks in bold, to be uber helpful!



4) Most of you are already awesome at this, but when posting articles with spoilers in, make sure you make that really clear in the title or in the intro to the article. The same for links, but most links are for spoilers these days. And on the same point, marking picks as spoilers too.


Thanks you guys, and I know that was pretty long and full of rather dull text, I highlighted my main points in bold =D Now this is all meant in good fun, it's not as if I am going to go totally spaz at/defan/bash another user if I accidently see a spoiler, but it would be nice for me if I can, at least try to avoid them! I have my own desire for spoilers to compete with too!! Thanks for reading, you guys are awesome =D
