please be more considerate by Guywhowantsafireflyofhisown

I apologize if I was guilty of any of it. Honestly don't remember.

I get a little excited, I know, and might forget that there are people here who are behind on the Buffy/Angelverse. I don't believe that just because the show has been over for several years that it's any reason to decide that others should be okay with being spoiled.

It's not only rude toward new viewers, it also might give them the impression that they shouldn't bother if they already know what's going to happen...and that's just WRONG!!!!

Will check to see if I'm responsible for any of it and try to correct it.

Again, I'm sorry if any of it's my fault!

I knew about what was going to happen in BtVS and Angel before I got around to watching it because of the posts on this and other boards. It still didn't stop me from reacting to the death of Tara or certain other things and events that happened to some of the other characters.

It is the responsibility of the person who comes in here to monitor what they see and read. No one is forcing them.

Right, of course. because I (like many others) had no real desire to watch the show when it aired (partly because when it started I was seven years old) I deserve to have plot lines ruined by people who just want to ask a question, makes perfect sense!

(sorry if I come off as snarky, it's just that I have already had at least 3 different aspects of later seasons spoiled on this board, and I'd like to avoid any more)

Guy... yours is a reasonable request if the show came out more recently, but I have to agree with SigmaNunki here.... For something that first aired ELEVEN years ago, people may not automatically think to point "SPOILER" in a thread title to warn people.

If I were in your position - and I have been - I would naturally assume that a tremendous amount of people have seen it (especially considering this is a Joss Whedon fan site) and, gosh, there might just be some spoilers around. Expecting people to keep "secrets" that are anywhere from 4 to 11 years old is unreasonable.

Why is the rum always gone?

I understand your plight, and it must be incredibly frustrating for you, and I shall endeavour to keep titles free of spoilers. However you are always going to get people who unwittingly say something that could spoil it for you. It isn't malicious or intentional, but as Hell's Kitten said Buffy was aired 11 years ago. If you can't come to a forum and discuss things freely after 11 years when can you.

Pryor to seeing Buffy and Angel, I read just about EVERY spoiler, and STILL loved the whole thing(s)!

I even read the spoiler where Buffy was finally killed by Caleb, torn to shreds, and sent to Hell. It prepared me for a sad but meaningful end to the series...

That's okay. Still don't get what people see in HEROES.

Seriously, though:

Select to view spoiler:

a bunch of uberpowerful men swooped in at the very end to save the day. Buffy and friends are perfectly fine and not missing any limbs because of them...and ONLY because of them!

Gotta say I agree with you.
If someone hasn't seen all the Buffy episodes, they must know they risk being spoiled by coming to Buffy threads, and they should simply avoid them until they're done with the series.
Most of us have seen all Buffy episodes many times, and expecting us to not to ever discuss all aspects of the show here is unreasonable. No matter what the thread title, there's a good chance of spoilers in it.

The point of the original poster is that spoilers have been put into the TITLES of the threads, which are almost impossible to avoid when they show up on the mainpage.

well it had to end that way because Joss' whole mission statement is that the women and the children (particularly cute Buffy and her baby) need to be protected by the all-powerful men.

Exactly, I don't give a rat's ass about whether or not you talk about spoilers in the threads themselves. But when I see titles that say, for instance "Xander was a fool to leave Anya at the Altar" well, oops, now I know where that relationship is going. Especially since you CAN NOT AVOID THEM ON THE HOME PAGE

so, in conclusion just try to remember that your title is visible to ALL whether they come to the Buffyverse section or not, that's all I'm asking .
