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 believe if you really don't want to spoil a book or movie for yourself, you would lock yourself in a room with no tv, internet, and all forms of communication, and just read the damn book or watch the damn movie asap before interacting with any human alive. 'cause humans can be asses. and we all know that.
as for tv shows... there's really no way out of getting accidentally spoiled by an inconsiderate bastard if you don't cut off communication. |
