I want to establish some ground rules when establishing episode threads. The major rule is "refrain from spoilers".

But due to most of the stories being 11½ minutes long and simple to follow, the stories may have not much major content to be regarded as spoilers but still it's bes tto be considerate for those who have yet to see the episode. There are things that can be regarded as "spoilers" in an episode.

For example in Season 1 Episode 07 Double Doomsday it's established that Dave works for Dr. Eggman as an intern in the synopsis of the show before airing. His internship going sourly could be regarded as predictable, but actual blackholes that Soinc counter-spins close, all that count as major spoilers.

Another example can be Season 1 Episode 52 It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog where Shadows TV series debute has been anticipated, but as for how Shadow ends up fighting Sonic or how the battle turns out, that can be regarded as spoilers.

So when is it OK to talk of new episode content? With three simple conditions:
 * A new episode is every saturday, so it is alright to discuss new episodes openly after the weekend. However please be considerate for others who have yet to see new episodes. If they said they haven't seen it, then don't spoil. Or very least show them latest episode if a video is online.
 * Above rule can be excused if a video or link to latest episode is added to the thread, so that everyone on thread may watch the episode.
 * Make use of this wikicode: Example Which should result in messages like this: Example When computer cursor is over the dotted area a small "SPOILER" alert will appear. Highlighting the dotted area will reveal the message.

The reason for these conducts is because the latest episodes of Sonic Boom are not broadcasted in every country. (Some countries like UK are still showing Season 1 and a few others may not show Sonic Boom at all) so not everyone may see the episode first hand on television. These rules is to be more fair for those who've yet, or at least want to see latest episodes of Sonic Boom, especially it takes about a day or a half until some random fan with a DVR to upload the episode online in watchable quality.
