Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Done.

Is it airing in Britain and not here? Then I'd say Unamerican, right?

Right now guest star information is considered spoilery even if there is no character information conveyed in it.
I don't know how this came to be designated a spoiler. Does anyone have background for that? James Marsters showing up on Angel is one thing, but showing up on Torchwood for the first time something entirely different. I don't think it should be whitefont mandatory, and with the upswing in portable devices, it gets more complicated to read spoiler-fonted information.
So I'd like to be sure that what's mandated to be spoiler fonted really is considered sensitive by people, especially in a NAFDA thread.

Sometimes knowing the guest star conveys the character information, even if it's not a big name. I spoiled by accident once by saying that someone was going to be on a show that I had recently started watching, and it turns out that the guest star had been on the show before and mentioning him let others know that the character would be back.
So, you never know when you're going to spoil, and I think that our philosophy is better safe than spoiled.

Well, if it's an actor playing an established role, then it's obviously got spoiler all over it.
However, if I tell you James Marsters is on GA next month, what do you know? Finding out that an actor's been on a show before is pretty simple.
I don't think that's safe, I think it's random.
I guess, I just frustrated even though I can see people's source posts easier than most.
I don't see why a new actor is at all spoilery, and I don't think it's much to ask for people to make sure it's a new actor before they talk about it.
How else am I going to know that Enver is in the next show he's in, without opening myself up to being actually spoilt for stuff?

Because books.
Since spoiler policy is under discussion, anyone want to chime in with thoughts about how/where to discuss S2 of American Horror Story? It seems a little bit like a special case to me, given what's happening next season, but I also don't want to spoil anyone who doesn't want to know.
Although that's also going to end once they start advertising and teasing for next season.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I thought we literally had a thread to deal with this exact situation.
