"book spoilers--no matter how minor--cannot be posted until noon EDT July 26th"
Folks, this is enforced to the hilt. Staff was just put in the position of having to take drastic measures because a poster decided these rules didn't apply to sigs. And the spoiler was a HUGE one if someone puts 2 & 2 together, which most folks here could do.
So drastic measures had to be taken, and we HATE taking drastic measures. Please refrain from causing yourself problems (and making us sad) by forcing the issue in such a way.
