Though I'm aware of nearly every spoiler to date I don't want to know anything that's actually going to happen in TEH.

Me too.
Funny thing, I was so focused on my personally not being able to see TEH until the 2 Jan, I had to be reminded about the premier!
I seem to remember that people were pretty good last time.

I'm assuming the lucky people who get to the BFI premier will keep us spoiler free, I mean with warnings at least.

Yes, no spoilers without a warning please. No spoilers at all. Or yes? I'm so torn...

Is anybody on here going?

During shooting I didn't mind spoilers. I think it is something completly different seeing some set photos and speculating about the plot as reading real spoilers. So I will try to avoid anything about TEH during those two weeks, although I am also very curious .

Yeah, I think I will handle that the same way though it's going to be very difficult.

I too want to avoid serious spoilers fromt he actual episode. But it's gong to be hell.

What will happen after the premiere in three days?
Tumblr, twitter and the tabloids will know the plot and tell the world?

Did I really wrote this???
Well wasn't resistant at all. But after the premiere I'm going to avoid as much as possible. Spoilers in this forum are only posted in the marked threads, aren't they?

**Posted by Mattlocked** December 12, 2013 2:55 pm

As far as I know the fandom I'm quite sure everyone will keep the mouth shut.
But then - there are always some idiots who want to feel important....

I feel we're all safe here for whatever level of spoiler/no spoilers we want to participate in.

Mods are very good about policing the threads.

Thank you, tonnaree. We are doing our best to ensure that there will be only spoilers in marked threads and/or threads which clearly state that they deal with S3. Of course all of you have to participate and be responsible which seems to work quite well so far.

We should all refrain from posting any information in connection with the premiere on Sunday that might be interpreted as a spoiler.

Well, I hope people will behave. There are luckily some good examples of fandoms where people kept their mouth shut about upcoming events (e.g. Game of Thrones, series 3). I think Sherlockians a very reasonable people (to some extent ).

Unfortunatly there is no guarantee regarding journalists (e.g. Ben's role in Star Trek) .

me, too. Honestly, I don't what to do. Because that will be REAL apoilers then and not just photos from the filming.

But I suppsoe if I do, I'll live with it.

I have to say I'm pretty relaxed about this. Is anybody from our forum going on Sunday? If not, everything that might pop up here is just... hearsay. I have trust in all of us that we will post possible spoilers in the according threads, so I guess there is no danger here in the forum.
As for me, I really don't do that much Twitter or tumblr anyway and will just stay away from it completely after Sunday. I really believe it is possible to avoid all spoilerish stuff, if you really want to.

But maybe a suggestion (and I don't know if this could really work, so your opinions are welcome): How about a thread where everyone who has seen the episode(s) can just talk about how they liked it without talking about the actual content? Something like: "I loved the reunion, I loved the atmosphere of the episode, I didn't like what they did with Anderson..." - do you know what I mean?
This way even those who haven't seen the episodes yet could sort of join in without getting any spoilers. Do you think this might work? Does it make any sense...?
