    Wtf this is like discussing that people that saw the teaser of the hobit part 3 would ruin the experience for the other ones. Or someone that has read the review that appears on the cover of books of being spoiling the book for the one who still hasnt read it.

    Someone broke a nail and wanted to discuss over anything. It has been next episode review like it could had been that studies should be banned from releasing trailers or even posters.

    What the hell to say the truth I want everyone that wrote at the HxH thread banned cause I left the episode at the minute 12 because Its my motto to not watch them completely and they spoiled the rest of it without any respect for my habits!

    ....What?

    To stay on topic, when I originally posted, I didn't think about the "additional mechanical burden" mods would have when doing their jobs, so I'll concede that that is a justifiable reason to not implement them. Not to mention that I totally forgot how rare common sense is. I still feel like the hatred and unwillingness to budge might be a little bit of an over-reaction, but I understand the situation now. Thanks for providing some input.

    It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.

    It's an on/off situation, so changing the opinion means a 180 degrees turn. Such a situation easily leads to overreacting.

    So...you actually think stopping watching the episode AFTER the credits before the thing that is specifically intended to be a spoiler for the next episode somehow equates to stopping in the middle of the episode?

    In essence (being reductionist) it is. IMHO there are two major ways of spoiling.

    1º Someone has seen a show/movie/whatever and it explains its content to someone who hasnt yet. But I doubt that the one who hasnt seen that yet would complain of being spoiled after going of his own free will into a content discussion thread.

    2º In periodically aired shows/movies/books/films/whatever some people search for or have access to material outside the original source (episodes) that is being discussed and then goes spoiling it.

    The case that was the origin for this debate falls in neither of those categories. No one had EXTRA material from outside thee original source nor did a search etc. It was ppl cutting themselves out from some material in that source. So its not one individual having information than shouldnt have (the information to spoil) its that someone has decided on his own to cut himself from some information that show provides.

    Would you call it a spoiler (for example) in the Thor 2 movie discussion thread (if it exists) that people are talking/discussing about the scenes after the credits if you decided to not watch them just cause you want?

    And this rises the other question: what right do you (do they?) have to ask (or impose) that other ppl cant discuss over something that you (they?) decided to cut yourself out from the material? Cause it could be as good manners to stop doing that non-spoiling as it would be good manners to stop whinning about something that you (they?) selfishly like to do.

    ps. All the You in this post dont target a specific gotwooter. I use it only to express two different possitions/points of view. My english is lacking so its hard for me to do it better. Would, what I wrote in (), be more formal/impersonal?
