No one should be spoiled. But if you get into a gaming forum, a bit of spoiling cannot be avoided. I guess I am spoiling if I say that daedric is better than ebony, since you should be figuring it out yourself while playing the game. But we cannot put spoiler tags on every single post! If we did so, every thread would contain at least 95% of post with that label, and you would have only two choices, really: either not read them, thus making the forum useless, or read them and stumble into big spoiling because you cannot know what is awaiting you beforehand.
My opinion:
If it reveals plot, item stats, quests, places, label it as a spoiler. But if it is just a name hanging there in middle air, or an obscure hint, or the simple statement that something exists or will somehow happen, don't put spoiler tags. Unless the newbie knows what you are talking about, or he won't understand and won't be spoiled.
