Spoilers Options

[*Steven*]

Sooooo. Are spoilers worth getting upset over? Should people who put spoilers up (whether true or false) in a thread without first warning that they're spoilers to that book get in trouble? Should the decision to punish be decided on the book?

Discuss :)

^ i didn't get the book until yesterday, which is very late compared to a lot of fanatics. but i knew once the book was released, or even a couple of days PRIOR to release, that there would be a chance of seeing spoilers all over the internet, especially with a book of this magnitude.

if someone were that serious over a book or a movie, they would do as i did and cease to view anything that MIGHT give away anything, even prior to the release. and i'm not even that much of a fanatic. i'm just aware that i can't force people to NOT reveal anything, whether true or not is irrelevant. i think people complaining about something they see on a forum is their own fault. one should be aware that things like this can happen, and if you really want to shield yourself from it, you would.

of course, i'm mainly talking about spoilers on the internet or media... anything else would quite possibly out of your control. for example, one would not expect to hear a spoiler going to work, but there can still be those obnoxious coworkers that like ruining things for people. well, then, there's nothing that can be done about that but to kick the person's arse. -_-"
