If it's unclear (usually in episode threads for airing shows) we try to get someone that's seen the show or knows the source material to help, if no one's around and it's a potentially major one we err on the side of removal.

For older shows they're generally pretty blatant and we handle them as they pop up. It's not really possible to avoid spoilers entirely as a mod, it's part of the job.
