Enough with spoilers

Alright. I am sick and tired of not being able to read a topic in peace because the fear of having a whole anime series ruined is on my mind. I'm sure all of you agree with me. This goes for AMVs too, for I've seen plenty of anime AMVs where there were MAJOR spoilers I didn't know about. If you want to post something that has spoilers in it, please say it will contain spoilers. It's not that difficult to do. For example:

THIS POST HAS SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Luckily, I haven't had TOO many animes ruined this way. From now on, post with care.

I fully understand the posts and spoilers thing and why it's annoying. I have even been guilty of it myself (poor Chaos) when I just plain forgot. I agree people should be more aware and at least warn so it's a read at your own risk and never in the subject header

But

How can you watch amvs and expect not to see spoilers? Nearly every amv that is from something you either have not seen any of or have limited knowledge..is going to contain at least minor spoilers.

Granted that you may not know what you are watching but I really think spoilers are a given when it comes to music videos. If you subject yourself to them not realizing that, then you have little to compain about. I've heard of people at amv contests who have to look at the floor for an entire video to avoid the spoilers, but they can't possibly whine at the creator of the vid...they choose to be there and like wise with any downloads you have.

Labeling minor or major spoilers is rather pointless since if you want to avoid spoilers then you should stay away from nearly any drama or action AMV

It's safe ( I think) to assume only various videos would be relatively spoiler free but that isn't always the case either...

But Il try to post warnings for spoilers and I can promise that I'll never post anything like that Cowboy bebop spoiler....as for my amvs...

Well, have you ever watched an AMV with an anime you've never seen just to see what that anime's like? Nobody should have to watch an AMV where some main character dies or something if they want to see what that anime's like. Hopefully, that garbled string of words you've just read made sense to some of you.

What Misty said does make sense. However, you know if a video has spoilers, because the title would be in red. When you enter a video, you have to say if it has spoilers in it or not. I know that some people ignore this rule, or have different ideas of what spoils a series, but when you're watching one an anime you've never seen, you're doing it at you're own risk. Besides, I don't think that it really ruins the experience anyway. I've always known the end of Evangelion, and when I finally saw it, I was still in shock.

Good point.

I apologize. I didn't mean to embarras you. Just know that from now on so that you can avoid videos that contain spoilers.

Apparently, less is more when it comes to your level of comprehension eh?

Athenastrophus, I noticed you have the same webpage as 0090...you didn't get banned did you?

Or are you just a pal of hers?
