If you care about spoilers, why are you still here reading? (Destiny)

In my opinion, if you see a (for example) Life Is Strange post that doesn't explicitly say no spoilers in the topic, and you don't want Life Is Strange spoilers, don't click on it. If you get the story spoiled, your fault. If you stumble across that spoiler in an unrelated thread, that sucks, but a worthy sacrifice for free conversation. I don't usually do that, but it happens.

Heh. Funny how nobody here bats an eye if you let them know up from when you plan to have spoilers and when you don’t.

I don't understand this sentence.

Because of the typo? Should say: Heh. Funny how nobody here bats an eye if you let them know up front when you plan to have spoilers and when you don’t.

You were talking about how someone got upset at you for the Rachel Amber spoiler. But I linked to a topic thread (a Life Is Strange one, even!) where I went through and spoiled the first episode point by point all the way through... yet no one got mad at me. Why? Because I took two seconds to mark the thread as containing spoilers.

And not only did they not get mad at me, the thread hierarchy served as an umbrella over you and Cody as well. That is, by marking the first post of my subthread as containing spoilers, I cleared the way for you two to post whatever you wanted free from the criticism you are so opposed to. You didn't have to touch the spoiler tag or alter the title of your post because it had been handled for you.

If you really wanted to advance your agenda of the Internet being a place where people can talk about whatever they want, you too would help clear the way for others by marking your post as having spoilers. In an environment like this forum, it frees you from criticism and it helps free anyone who replies to you as well.
