How will you deal with users who spoil shows on purpose? Could I watch the first episode of Game of Thrones, sync with the app and post "OMG ----- dies!" right at the start?

I assume if you can watch time shifted comments they're moderated in some way (or perhaps flagged by the community)?

Yes, there's upvoting and downvoting implemented in the beta, already and that will filter out spoilers pretty quickly. If we see anybody doing it on purpose, we'd block and eventually ban the user.

So the name makes sense?

I'm definitely not your target market here, if i'm devoting time to TV i'm focussed on enjoying that, alone or with the people in the room.
