The way ResAlien put The Wire Spoilers in the Funny picture thread and Bertuzzied Game of Thrones spoilers in a hockey thread was just stupid.
I think that's an important distinction to make. If there is a thread about a show, and that show has aired in Calgary, then I think spoilers are fair game. Otherwise what ends up happening is everybody discusses it using spoiler tages. Annoying, however next we have a guy who knows what happens next week, uses spoiler tags, and then people who are up to date get spoiled.

However I do agree that a fair amount of time needs to pass before spoilers can be posted in cross threads.
