I really don't get the point of the spoiler tags, at least how they are used in this forum. If you're talking about the show you're watching in here for example, it would have to have aired, most of the time it's been aired for years, so sure it's nice to black it out for those who haven't seen it but it often feels like you're pressured into doing so, like you're withholding a secret that in reality was already shown to the world years before. I mean like Blade is over ten years old, why hide like the entire post with spoiler tags?

The worst though is the of the week episode discussions, where mods edit your posts and replace details revealed in that episode with spoiler tags, what is the point of an episode discussion if you're gonna treat everything as spoilers? And who is in the thread, reading all the posts before watching the episode, then complaining about spoilers? What an idiot.

And I know it doesn't matter, but it's just the principle and attitude, I would never intentionally spoil something for anyone, I hate it when it's done to me, but I don't expect posts to be edited when they're talking about exactly what the thread is about.
