I've been noticing there's been a little discordance with spoilers when it comes to movies, TV shows and/video games. I suggest we add a time frame for when the 'spoiler box' should be used in NT's Terms and Rules.
Shows/Episodes: 24 hours. For example X-Men 97 drops 12 am Wednesday morning, the spoiler box should be used for plot based discussions until 12 am Thursday morning. After that its whatever.
Movies: 7-9 days. Im think 9 days will give the people who want do see a movie but not on opening weekend enough time to see the movie and view NT without having to worry about getting slapped in the face with a spoiler casually browsing NT.
Now this is where it gets tricky. Im open to critcisms and suggestions
Video games: A month/4 weeks/28 days-ish. My logic is the average gamer plays around 12 hours a week.*The average AAA game's single player campaign is 10-12 hours. Open world games clock in around 40 hours**. For the sake of convivence we'll go the longest time frame, making it roughly a little over 3 weeks for most to 'complete'(as in finish the main campaign/story line, not "Platinum completion"). Throw another week in there because we're mostly all grown and life be lifin'. So for the first month or so from release all plot, secrets and easter eggs have to be spoiler'd.

I think posting the stinger or the final shot would definitely qualify.
