Dear flist.
Dec. 9th, 2004 10:33 pmPleasepleasepleasepleaseplease use spoiler cuts for just a little while longer!! It's wonderful that some of you have downloads, get the dvd earlier than others and/or have time to watch all of it immediately after purchase, but we're not all in that position.
I'm not just talking pictures & clips here, but basically everything that you can start with 'Oh! That was a nice/cute/unpleasant surprise to see/hear such-and-such' is a spoiler. Even if you wouldn't have minded a particular spoiler, someone else may. Even if I don't mind a particular spoiler, someone else may. Even small spoilers are spoilers. Even spoilerish things are spoilers.
And if you put a spoiler behind a cut and name the cut 'squee!' it's not quite clear there's a spoiler behind the cut, now is it?
I would very much like to be able to read my flist, and be able to decide all for myself whether I want to read/see something. It's not that much to ask is it?
Please?
This is absolutely not directed at anyone in particular, I see spoilers leaking all over the place even by people who are generally very discreet!!
