it is quite simple. There are four main forms of what GotWoot is based around:

-simple text-
-manga (text plus image)-
-anime- (image plus sound, and if subbed, text)-
-game- ditto the above

GotWoot, however, is divided into three areas
-anime-
-manga-
-all else-

Therefore, discussion of an anime shouldn't be spoiled by spoilers from the manga, since those manga bits should all be discussed solely in the confines of the manga section. Despite how long ago a manga chapter might have been published, inserting spoilers from it into discussion of an anime that has yet to reach that point is, quite simply, a clod-like move.

It is quite easy to comment solely on an anime without discussing the manga.

Recently an anime version of Tales of the Abyss was made out of the video game. As such, the game was considered as seperate from the anime as if it were a manga series. This would, I'd argue and vote for, serve as precedent for any definition of spoiler

"If it hasn't yet happened in an English version of the MATERIAL BEING DISCUSSED, it's a fucking spoiler"

As such, me spouting stuff about the end of the Harry Potter books, the end of Code Geass R2, or the unsubbed episode of Casshern Sins I caught on Japan TV last night in this thread count as spoilers. Because this is not a thread about the Harry Potter books or those animes.

However, being the devil's advocate I always am, I would like to once again ask for an official description about links to spoilers. Because, after all, there is often discussion in the Gundam sections about things only released on the Gundam websites (including shots of future mechs, bios (often in Japanese) about characters yet to appear in the anime) etc.

However, again, I would also mention that properly labeling these links as to warn people about what they might find if they click on them can quite easily be done without requiring a spoiler tag, which, in sum, I think is a thing this forum can do without.
