Do they mean a net or a complete equation, ie. cancel or not the spectator ions?

I think it's minus the spectator ions.

eg. Na(+) + Cl(-) -> NaCl, sorry I don't know how to do the subscript/superscript thingy on these boards! Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Yep, 'ionic equation' means a net ionic equation.

Just show the exchange of ions in the equation; no spectator ions.

Just include all the solid and liquid species in the reaction and 'fill the gaps' with any aqueous ions.

Maybe that doesn't make sense, but that's the way my brain thinks when I write one...
