Be Courtious enough to warn others with a *spoiler alert!*
Or is this just me?
(Wow! Okay, I don't mind conspiring and guessing about upcoming plots and suggesting what may or may not happen, but come on people, If you have some actual spoiler information, Please type out a warning before I finish reading your question, or even your posts so I know to skip that one...
Some of us don't want to know what hasn't been done yet on our soaps. I like being able to figure something out on my own or with friends only after it's been talked about or hinted on TV!!!)
There have been several times when I read a question about the impending/compromising situation the character was in, so I click on it to read the questions details, and they go right into a huge spoiler plot that I didn't want to know about...
I don't want to know for sure, just speculate with me! If you want to tell us about it, warn us others about your intentions to spill the beans....Wouldn't that be nice?

Yes. Spoilers in answers or questions should be identified as such.

I agree 100%. One of my pet peeves. My 2nd pet peeve is people who answer just for the 2 points, they don't even know what the category is, let alone what you're talking about. There should be some kind of penalty for that. I answer a lot of questions, but even if I'm not familiar with the particulars, I have an idea about what the questioner is talking about and can answer appropriately. Wouldn't that be nice for all of us.
FYI to all you Spoiler-Providers: Not all the spoilers you get are real; some shows are now putting out spoiler-spoilers to keep people like you from telling everything.

I agree!! Not so much with the soaps, since I read all about The Bold and the Beautiful in the soap mags (and then wish I hadn't sometimes!). What annoyed me scrolling through the questions was I saw someone who was going to die on Prison Break, someone who may have died on Heroes, not to mention the ending of this season of House! These were all qns posted by American viewers since they were about things that we weren't/aren't up to here in Australia. There are 3 shows that I don't ever want to know anything about what's going to happen and that's Heroes, Prison Break and 24. The shock factor is such a big part of all of these shows and I don't like it ruined.
I also seen in a question the ending to season 2 of Supernatural that we're still not up to here. That pissed me off as well!

I agree. There is some people here who likes to tell all the spoilers and I like you prefer to watch the show to find out what happens. I mean, why bother watching if you already know what is going to happen. So whenever I see these people, I just don't read the rest of the question.

You are correct. Especially when asking a question. Sometimes it's hard to do when answering a question though. I'll try to be more careful. But my guessing at what's going to happen doesn't mean I'm always right too. I think some kiddies on here don't know what spoilers are. They just like to see their question on Y/A. lol
