Title: **MUST READ INFO about Spoilers and Episode threads**
Post by: georgiapeach on May 15, 2011, 12:59:21 PM
  :hello2: Hello and welcome to RFF's The Amazing Race Australia (TARAus) Forum!

We have quite a unique situation with TARaus on this forum, in that only a small number of our Members have access to the live Seven broadcast, and the rest must wait for "delayed coverage" of episodes on the Internet.

To try and cater for all our Members who share the TARaus love, :luvya: we need a few simple rules to try and prevent people from accidentally getting spoiled:

    



              You can also use the spoiler tags if you are unsure: [/list]
Code: [Select]
[spoiler] data here[/spoiler]

We hope you have fun posting here. If you have any questions, or are unsure about anything, please feel free to contact me by PM here, or at the email address in my profile.

 
Thanks everyone! This looks like a great season!

 :bigwelcome

  • Please discuss the most recent episode ONLY in the pinned episode thread until 12 MN each Wed Sydney  time= Wed 10AM EST for those of us in the US, which will give those of us not in Australia 48+ hours to find and watch the show. This means that NO information about the outcome of each weekly show should be posted anywhere on the forum except here, including NO posts related to outcome in the media or contestant threads during that time.  Knowing who won the leg and who is eliminated is the info we most want to protect until the show can be seen by all of us. Feel free to put any media, etc in the episode thread, and I will move it later on.


PLEASE be careful that these spoilers are placed ONLY in the episode threads until those of us outside Oz have a chance to watch!! Thanks!

What about the thread for discussion of spoilers?

Any SPOILER thread is fine for things ouside that week, but would like things related to the week's episode to stay in the appropriate episode thread. That way people can avoid the week's outcome until they have seen the ep, and feel fairly safe elsewhere. It may not be perfect, but it worked well all thru TARA, so would like us to try anyway!

REPEATING:

NO SPOILERS ANYWHERE EXCEPT IN THE EPISODE THREAD FOR 48 HOURS AFTER THE EP AIRS.

THIS ESPECIALLY MEANS NO SPOILERS IN THE CONTESTANT THREADS PLEASE.

DISCUSS THE EPISODE IN THE EPISODE THREAD ONLY!

Peach,

You are sometimes incorrect on the difference between other time zones and U.S. East Coast Eastern Daylight Time and that is again the case above. Your time difference of 14 hours is correct for Sydney, but it applies to EDT and not EST.

I don't care if you call it EDT or EST, :lol:

timeanddate gives a 14 hour time difference, that's what I am using.

Sorry, Peach, but just to clear up a little bit of confusion for me, when you say 12 MN Wednesday, did you mean 12 MN Wednesday night/Thursday morning or do you mean 12 MN Tuesday night/Wednesday morning? :duno:

I know I'm probably sounding really technical and all, :lol: but I just wanted to be sure to avoid making a mistake again. :)

Wed night/Thurs AM, 2 days and a bit after it airs for you.

Given that it is taking much longer this season for those of us outside OZ to be able to see the eps, it wouldn't hurt just to keep all the discussion in either the episode spoiler thread or the show thread anyway. If you find a media article such as an elimination interview, put them in the episode threads and I'll move them later... that way you don't have to wait to post them.

What I specially do not want is spoilers from the current ep or previews being discussed in the contestant threads. Some people like to root for their team but really don't want to be spoiled...

Thanks for asking!
