I'm in favor of a temporary moratorium on spoilers, though I'm not so certain it need be an entire month, and I don't believe that any announcement should necessarily threaten users; however, I understand that a spoiler policy does need to have teeth in order to be effective.

That being said, not everybody will be able see the film the day it premieres, and it's already out in some places and will have been out for nearly a month before it even premieres here in North America. Furthermore, edits to pages often include spoilers and are sent directly to our emails, particularly if someone is overt with their edit summary descriptions, so I believe there's a reasonable timeframe we can find, such as a week after wide release (in this case meaning until May 14th), whereby those unable to see it the first day don't have to completely avoid this site and their email inboxes in order to keep from having the movie ruined.
