Plus spoilers tend to be useless in some shows that aren't strictly following the anime.
Then, it's also a lot cleaner without those tags everywhere.
Like i said, if they were indeed added to the forum that wouldn't change the fact that any kind of spoiler, with tags or not, would still be banned from the anime threads.

They should also be banned from sigs, the miles and miles of spoiler tags some people on other forums add to theirs is down right annoying.

- It encourages the practice of regularly inserting spoilers into posts.
- During the editing process, tags can be partially deleted or neglected to be closed (I do it all the time with the bold tag) and then there's spoilers exposed to the world. The only difference is now it, "wasn't a conscious effort to accidentally fuck up my spoiler tag." Which is wrong of course, since the spoiler was written in there in the first place.
- Having a strict No Spoilers policy is simply a lot more effective than relying on tags.
Any encouragement would be quickly dealt with by a warning from the mods, and we don't really have enough "new" members for that to be a problem.

I for one usually read a post after writing it ( for grammar errors and such ), so for anyone to actually catch a glimpse of my error they would ahve to be quite quick with the refresh button. Besides, that just means you would have to be a little careful while using them.

Again, there are special cases.

It would be perfect if they could be effectively banned from the anime sections of the forum as not to encourage anything.
