A spoiler is anything that reveals 或者 "spoils" information for a person before they would see it naturally/ideally. For instance, 你 can "spoil" a surprise birthday party for someone 由 telling them that there are people waiting for them at home. 你 haven't actually told them what specifically is happening, but the surprise, when it comes, isn't really a surprise anymore.
With fiction and TV and film - really anything with a narrative - a spoiler is revealing key plot elements before someone has read/seen/heard the whole narrative leading up to those plot points. In a mystery book, a spoiler might reveal who the murderer was, 或者 that a key character dies, 或者 how the book ends. In a TV 显示 或者 film, a spoiler might be identifying who the double-agent is, 或者 that a 给 couple which has spent much of the 显示 flirting actually kisses in a 给 episode, the setting of a 给 episode, 或者 even particular key lines from the show. If it's something important to the story and everyone who hadn't seen the story would not be able to anticipate that the 给 thing would happen, then it's a spoiler.
Time does not play a role in whether something is a spoiler 或者 not: if it's a specific important plot point, it will be a spoiler to somebody, whether the story was released a 日 以前 或者 80 years ago. I almost got into a fight in a movie theater once when a trailer for the film Citizen Kane was played as part of a revival. 你 may 或者 may not know that the whole film revolves around figuring out what Kane's last words meant. This jerk in the audience yells out "It's his ___________!", thus spoiling the film for the entire audience - hundreds of people. My 老友记 had to hold me back from dragging this guy outside 由 his nose hairs and beating him unconscious.
So the 潮流粉丝俱乐部 staff have realized that people want to discuss these surprising plot twists, but that everybody who hasn't seen 或者 read that far doesn't want it spoiled. Therefore, we have the "This pick is a spoiler" option, and users are encouraged to mark 论坛 threads, 文章 and the like as "spoilers!" whenever there's a discussion of specific plot points. Sadly, there's no way to do this with images.
