Spoiler tag debate.

[DarthEnderX]

If previews were as catastrophic as you said, they wouldn't exist in the first place.

The point is that they are "catastrophic" for some people, and not others.

That's why they're after the credits. So people who want to watch them can, and for people who don't, it's REALLY easy for them to stop watching before the preview starts up. The viewer has a choice.

A choice that is apparently taken away from anyone that decides to participate in a GotWoot discussion thread. Avoiding the preview is easy in the episode. It's impossible on the forum if any person decides they don't want it to be possible.

So if I want to avoid being spoiled, my choice is no longer "watch the preview, or don't". Its, "be a part of the GotWoot forums, or don't".

And if the mods approve of that, maybe there's a reason why this place is half-dead(besides the obvious "Forum dedicated to a fansub group that no longer does fansubs")

EDIT: Hah, I just got the most entertaining rep comment for this post.
