6 Star Wrestling is very proud of hosting such a globally diverse community. We have members from the United States, Canada, Peru, Britain, Ireland, Australia, and the world over.

But by having such a globally diverse community, we must live with and accept the fact that we will all get our wrestling fix at different times of the week. So I ask you all to take your fellow posters into consideration when discussing recent events. If you wish to discuss something that may be a spoiler for others, please hide this information inside the spoiler tags. Also, if you wish to discuss something you saw in a spoiler tag, then place your reply withing a spoiler tag as well.

Spoiler tags are quick and simple to use. I'll illustrate this with an example:

[spoiler]Potential spoiler here[/spoiler]

By using the above spoiler tags, you'll be able to produce the following:

Spoiler: click to toggle


Notice how the potential spoiler is hidden away from anyone that may not want to read them, but is merely one click away from anyone that does wish to view. Simple, affective, and user-friendly. :)

I'll use WWE Raw as an illustrative example of when and how spoiler tags would be used. Raw airs on Monday nights within the U.S. and Canada, but airs on a different day of the week in Australia, Peru, and Britain. U.S. and Canadian members would be expected to use spoiler tags when discussing Raw events (outside of the official weekly Raw discussion thread, where spoilers would naturally be expected). This way, you'll be able to discuss everything you wish to discuss, while other members can still view the discussion without fear of having events spoiled for them.

Of course, it should be noted that users will not be expected to be spoiler friendly after a substantial amount of time has passed. People will not be expected to use spoiler tags two or three weeks after an event has passed. If you haven't seen the show within that time, then you should be considerate enough to others to know that they are discussing the event and that you should be wary of where you visit.

And, finally, it should also be noted that spoiler tags will generally not be expected within threads designated as potential spoiler threats. Sticking with the Raw example, everyone knows that members discuss Raw in the weekly Raw thread. It's more convenient for members that have not seen Raw to avoid that one thread than it is to force all participants of that thread to constantly use spoiler tags.
