I've never really got the taboo on spoilers in this community. If you're waiting to watch Countdown and don't want to know what happened, maybe don't go to read a Countdown forum in the interim?

On the spoilers thing - I come here all the time when I haven't watched an episode because a lot more than just Countdown gets discussed on here and sometimes it might be quite a while before I can catch up. And it would be ridiculous to e.g. post about the current day's game in a thread on veganism.
It was also a bit pointless editing rather than deleting Ryan's post. The fact that this thread got bumped at all was arguably a big spoiler, not the content of the post. But I suppose that's a bit of a grey area because someone might easily have posted in this thread to say that someone had got 1000 or just missed out of course. But as someone who has only just seen yesterday's programme, I of course visited the forum in the meantime but also engaged some common sense and avoided this thread. While it's not explicitly a spoilers thread, it's definitely one to think about when reading posts.
As for how long a spoiler is a spoiler - another grey area and I don't think there's a definitive answer. But possibly weeks? Certainly at least one week. And maybe anything in the current series. Although if a series follows straight on from another I don't think a new series on a Monday immediately despoilerises the final from just three days previously.

BBC News homepage now too.
Mike Brown: "Round 12: T N R S A E I G U
C1: SIGNATURE (18) ["9; not written down"]
C2: SEATING (7)
Score: 108–16 (max 113)
Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."

Good going Tom! And great that Countdown is getting some publicity - hopefully will attract a few more viewers
