We at The Pie Maker aren’t out to spoil the fun. We try to be respectful of posting spoilers and have created a quick guide to what IS and what ISN’T consider a spoiler on this site. Please note that we can’t verify any of the spoilers on this site so take them for what they’re worth.

What is a spoiler?
A spoiler is an important piece of information that, if someone wanted to watch the show without knowing what was going to happen, would spoil the show for him or her.

Here are some things that would be considered spoilers:

• plot details for an episode that has not yet had its first American airing (usually first Eastern Time Zone airing)
• unverified rumors about unaired episodes (since the information could be true)
• casting and show info NOT broken in mainstream press
• content of aired previews and commercials for the show*

Here are some things that would NOT be considered spoilers:

• first-party promo material (i.e. press releases) *
• details of episode after first American airing
• casting and show info broken in mainstream press
• historic facts as they pertain to a show plot (e.g. JFK assassination, Wild Bill’s death, etc.)
• idle speculation
• anything that has happened on a show that is not going to be shown in the U.S. to the best of your knowledge (e.g. Germany)

* This is where it can get tricky. Technically if a promo has aired the content should no longer be a spoiler, but we’re going to do what we can to protect those who want to avoid spoilers completely. We will always try to mark posts that could potentially spoil someone accordingly. We ask that you do the same in the comment.
