Come on Dundee, you make it sound like a it's some sort of new threat, and that you just predicted dooms day if "we" don't change our ways...
This matter has played for more than a year now on practically every board around, and never did it happen that the entire board went spoiler crazy, so it won't happen now either. And besides, you could make a lot of fuss about it now, but within a month, the posters on this board are completely different from the posters now and they won't read anything of what you just posted. It took me a while on BGDungeon as well before I realized what a "spoiler" was, or that I was posting a few of my own as well. It happens. It can't be stopped either, there are always posters around who do it, even if it's just by accident, and you can't really blame them for that either; to err is human, it just happens.
Just point it out in a polite way is enough, like you said. Just don't rant about it or get angry about it, you would drive yourself crazy for even trying to rid the board of spoiler posters. It's not a crusade against evil, it's just pointing out someone made a mistake.
