OK, So, Say your reading a book series/Watching a movie. And you go on a topic to say how your getting into it. You're considerate and put spoilers in you post (Or Put a spoiler warning at te top of your post). Then The next post you see is full of "Oh that bits great but it real annoyed me when exampleperson died in the next book/movie."

That can really ruin a series for someone.

The latest example I've seen was someone talking abou Warrior Cats. They were basiccly saying who dies in a later on book. I peronally have already read the book but I have no doubt it will annoy someone else. but I have seen ones for other book/movie series, Which equally annoys me, Even if I dont know nor care who dies..

Seriously, ESPECIALLY if you're talking about a further on book/movie, you should use spoilers. Or (if who youre talking to wants spoilers without having to click on each one) Take it to PMs.

If you're going to say someone dies do it this way:

Oh! Thats a great part of the book ^^ Hidden text : click to show


OR

*Spoiler warning (Book 4 onwards)*


It really upset me when Sonso Died in book five. And [So on so forth]
See! Its as easy as one little click, This is why there's a button at the top of the text box (I'm not sure what you call it admittedly) that says spoiler on it.

and again, If you're really so lazy that you won't press it, take your conversation to PMs. Don't ruin it for others.

Wow... that incident on OTT really upset you huh?

But you have a point here, even though I don't mind if a book or movie is spoiled for me, but other people seem to mind very much.

I agree with Paws...sometmes spoilers are fun and sometimes they are annoying I am not really super attached to any fan chars people create here so I am ok with it.

This happend to me on here before, On the Marvey and Me topic, when I watched the movie awhile later, it...wasn't as good.
But yeah, people need to start using Spoiler Warnings.
