Alrighty, sounds good. Thanks.

Can I assume most people here don't read the manga then?

I don't understand the point in making such an assumption with the "no spoiler" rule in place, for for all intents and purposes, yes.

[lilphatboi88]

the question was to determine whose posts can be influenced by manga, and therefore help me determine how I can be informed.

The basis is that whether people read manga or not, the anime forum contains no intentional future manga information. You don't really need to think about if somebody reads manga or not. Occasionally some manga reader may post by accident a bit of manga information and those the posters themselves or mods try to remove as soon as possible. The history knows a couple of cases of douches who purposefully posted major manga spoilers. They were rewarded with a long vacation. Permanent kind of long.

Also keep in mind that using a white text colour to mask information in your post is not a way to justify posting a real spoiler. Real spoilers aren't allowed at all (spoiler defined as advance information from manga, even if you don't read the manga yourself but heard it from someone who does). People simply occasionally mask parts of their text for various reasons, like, for example, if some episode had a trick you needed to think about to catch or if an episode contained a major revelation and the poster thought somebody might read the thread before watching the episode.

i dont know. but i assume most manga readers would want to watch the anime too.

We do. I typically make the same observations about corresponding parts of the plot. Though I will have thought things through a little better than when I read the corresponding part of the manga (especially since the anime is actually pretty helpful at clearing up people's emotions/intentions).

For example, did anybody notice Itachi crying in the last episode? What, if anything, does this mean about his intentions for Sasuke?

When did he cry???? I missed it.

[Kraco]

All I know is that he was crying blood all the time.
