Re: Should Official Review/Discussion Threads in Movies be revived?

And that is the only way to be certain of avoiding spoilers. We can put explicit instructions in bold lettering, put "NO SPOILERS" in the thread title, etc. etc., but there will still be people who put spoilers in a review thread. They don't read, or they don't think, or they have a different notion of what constitutes a spoiler (or all of the above). When we had official review threads, we used to get this kind of thing reported to us on a regular basis.
