Spoilers are a no-no here on Gateworld. Do not post spoilers, it's a breach of the rules.
What constitutes a spoiler? Anything that has yet to air. I believe this is the current definition, but it might actually be harsher.
Why no spoilers? Some people do not read spoilers and episode summaries ahead of time. They want to be surprised and not go into episodes knowing what will happen.
New (and sometimes older) users seem incapable of keeping up with this (or just ignorant). What it means is that whenever you post a thread, make sure the thread title is not a spoiler. If you're posting in an already existing thread, spoiler-tag the necessary parts of your posts.
For example, do not write thread titles like this one:
"OMG! In 'Slashgate X-treme', Daniel and Teal'c finally kiss!" (if there were indeed such an episode and such an event were to take place in it)
A non-spoilery version would be "OMG! In 'Slashgate X-treme', there'll be a special long-awaited event!" or something like that.
In a post, it'd look something like this:
"OMG, I totally squeed out loud when I read that
in 'Slashgate X-treme'!"
Make sure to make it clear what episode(s) you will be spoiling in your thread or post. For example:
"OMG! The thing with the thing! (spoilers up to Slashgate X-treme)"
"OMG! The aliens! (spoilers for the identity of the new race)"
(thread titles)
Simply writing "SPOILERS!!!" tells us nothing.
Also, when posting new threads, make sure there aren't already threads discussing it. There are so man threads and posts on the identity of the new race when this thread already exists:

You are not original. If it's something big, chances are, someone will most probably have already posted a thread on the subject. It only takes a few seconds to peruse at least the 1st page of a forum section to see if there's already a thread for what you wish to post about.
Learn to abide by these rules, please, for the benefit of us all. All you're doing by posting threads and posts that break the rules is earning yourself infractions, wasting moderator time (since only they can change thread titles and merge threads; if what your thread covers already has a thread covering it, then the two will be merged, thus, your threads shouldn't have been created in the first place!), spoiling the show for innocent bystanders and cluttering up the forum with one jillion threads on the same subject.

seems to have made people abandon reason, logic and common decency and go on a spoilerfest. Don't do this, it benefits no one.
