Doctor Who, tumblr and spoilers

Tumblr people, how spoilery is tumblr right now for Doctor Who?

In other news I didn't watch Doctor Who last night due to being ill in bed incapable of watching anything, an it's going to be at least tonight before I'm able to watch it. Fortunately everyone in my dwircle has been pretty good at cutting for spoilers, although I do get the impression everyone enjoyed it.

I'm just really wary of going onto tumblr as I don't think people on there are as good about spoilers - the only thing in it's favour is that I don't follow any specific Doctor Who, just people who are into Doctor Who and I know from LJ/DW so are more likely to be spoiler-etiquette aware. (Only you can't really cut for spoilers on tumblr, and visual ones are more of a risk than written ones and tumblr is so much a visual fandom experience for me.) I follow specific NCIS tumblrs and they are so bad about spoilers, although I'm not so bothered by spoilers for NCIS as I am for Doctor Who.

Well, I have reblogs queued up until Thursday, so my tumblr will stay active even if I avoid the site, and I post my original stuff though Posterous, so that's not a problem.

(I'm also contemplating creating a separate blog for either my original stuff or the stuff I reblog, so that I can put flattr on the Tumblr blog with the original stuff, I don't feel comfortable putting it on a blog with lots of reblogs, but I don't know whether to put the original stuff on the new tumblr or keep it on the old, and reblog on the new. Thoughts from people who use tumblr?)

Also if there's anyone in my dwircle who is on tumblr who I don't already follow, let me know. (My Tumblr is, strangely enough, thedivinegoat.tumblr.com and my original posts should all be tagged iPhone)

Tumblr is super spoilery, and I have been reblogging some things from the episode, so I'd recommend avoiding.

I haven't seen any spoilers myself, but I HAVE seen people on Tumblr complaining about other people posting spoilery things... I haven't paid a lot of attention, as I don't watch Doctor Who, but Tumblr isn't very big on etiquette.

You can also put the Flattr code manually in chosen Tumblr posts rather than making it create the button automatically for each post.

I think on Tumblr it would be possible to construct the entire episode from people's posts :S

Hi, tumblr isn't built to manage spoilers. You should definitely avoid it

I am too old and grumpy to understand tumblr. Alas.
