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.

I think it's more that, occasionally, 2 (Or more) people will start viewing the same series at different times.
Like one person could be in the middle of Ryuki while someone else could just be starting it.

It's not entirely necessary, but with many KR series seemingly obligated to have some sort of midseason twist, it's more of a courtesy for spoilers in the "What Are You Watching" threads, but not a necessity.

I do agree with you on the Weekly discussion threads, though.
