Forum:CT Archive/Spoiler policy

On our Main Page, we have "Warning: spoilers inside." That links to a short definition of spoilers, and then that links to Spoilers which says that we have no exact guidelines, and that more precise guidelines will be determined in the future." So isn't about time we come up with at least some kind of spoiler policy? I'd like to throw a few ideas around before starting the actual voting:

1) I think the first thing to do would be to make an official time limit for spoilers. As far as I know, the general guideline we go by is until 1 month after the release date. Is that amount of time good? Shall we make that an official rule?

2) What about making repeatedly allowing spoilers in edit summaries a potentially bannable offense?

3) What about not allowing pre-release novel spoilers (aside from excerpts and anything officially revealed online)? (Or have we voted on this before?) I realize this may not go over; I'm just throwing it out there.

4) Templates. Are the two we have enough? Should we always use both? Etc.

Just some ideas. Of course I don't want us to get too instruction creepy, but I think some sort of policy to reference would be good.
