WaT spoiler policy for 17s Blogs

[ccstat he/him]

I'd like to confirm the spoiler policy for non-forum sections of the site. As with the last large Stormlight release, I'm planning to post my chapter by chapter reactions and analysis for Winds and Truth. (See RoW liveblog linked in my signature.) When I consulted staff regarding this for Rhythm of War, it was determined that the blog section of the site is visited infrequently enough that a prominent spoiler warning at the top of each post was sufficient, as that would clearly set expectations and would be the featured text in any preview potentially showing up on the other sections of the site. 

Does this still meet with approval? I haven't been a frequent site visitor in a few years, so I wouldn't be surprised if some combination of policies, format, and usage patterns make the new situation different. 

(I probably won't be ready to start posting for at least a week, so no rush on making a firm decision.)

 

Thanks!

Yes, I think that's fine.

Should the Policy post maybe be updated? Possibly, something like (edits italicized):

Forum: 

• Stick to the appropriate forum. Check forum board description if you are unsure.
  • Spoiler topics posted in non-spoiler forums must contain ‘Spoiler’ in the topic title.
• New books can be discussed without spoiler tags in the dedicated new book subforum/area only. 
  • Topic titles should not contain spoilers 
    They may appear on the home page or last-updated display, where spoilers are not allowed
  • You are strongly encouraged to post topics on new works in the new book subforum/area only. If you must reference something in a spoiler period outside those forums, you must spoiler tag it.

Website non-Forum Areas:

• Group PMs allow spoilers as long as each participant in the group message has agreed 
  • Don't send unsolicited spoilers by PM, especially untagged
• Blogs may contain spoilers as long as they properly marked and/or prefaced with a spoiler warning
  • Should Articles also get a mention, like Blogs(?) or since only posted by Admins is this moot

I don't know how much that needs to be codified. We can consider, I suppose.
