I know, typical business's are a Mon. - Fr. thing, w/ the weekend being a chance to remove ones physical and mental self from work. The only time we have seen weekend spoilers is from GP's/Pro Tour tourney's and conventions.
But I do imagine that there are individuals who run a site from home or have a Twitter account that do not limit their activities to the week days. These individuals could, potentially, post a spoiler on the weekend. In fact, it would make sense to throw a bone here or there to keep us salivating, chomping at the bit.
Could it be WotC has an officially policy of no spoilers from websites or individuals on weekends?
And what could possibly happen if a site or someone broke that rule & decided Saturday night's alright to fight (and put up a spoiler)?
I would imagine that said spoilers are given to the website just before they're posting (just guessing).
When I worked for a game site, staff had to sign an NDA for the spoilers. I never did and it was one of the reasons I was "releleased". One of the stipulations was usually something like "we're going to tell you this but you can't reveal it until such and such date." NDA sucked for the community. Especially when a well loved company strings their fans along on lies and you're stuck just noding your head and pretending you don't know anything. It just makes you hate the company even more.
It could just be a simple black listing. Give a site a spoiler with a stipulation not to share until such date. If the site releases said information before such date then don't give them any more spoilers in the future. Most sites will toe the line to avoid not having information first. From what I hear, WotC seems to use this strategy more.
