That depends on the game and where I am in it. If it's BG2, I've been spoiled on the game quite a lot by people who didn't use spoiler tags in the old days or who blurted out key pieces info in totally unrelated threads, so I read whatever I run across on that game. IWD, I've been through twice so I read those as well.
For other games, I skip them unless I am at the part that's being 'spoiled' and I am stuck or in need of some guidance, then I read them, at my own risk, so to speak! In other words, if I get help I need, great and if I get MORE than I wanted, it's my own fault for reading it since I knew it was a 'spoiler' thread. What I absolutely can't stand is having major spoilers without the warnings! There really are some people, who, like Larry, want the thrill of discovering things on their own! That makes a game alot of fun for many people and being aware of things in advance can take away some of the excitement of the play.

It's more a thing of trying my patience. What's behind that corner? The lever that will lower the bridge at the other side of the dungeon? *random battle* Blast! It wasn't! I need to check out the other hallway *random battle* Still not! *random battle* Now I go check over ..*random battle* Catch my drift?

Seriously, I once had three encounters in a row with a period of about 10 secs between each. Man, that sucked...not to mention the precious health of course...oh, and the game was FF8, I think. |

Yeah man, ff8 is notorious for it's high-rate of RB's, that's why Diablos is available so soon in the game For that matter: FFX is wonderful, the RB enc-rate is just perfect.

If I requested the spoiler information because I got stuck somewhere in a game, I will read it, I will also read it, if I already know of the subject, but usually I don't like to get myself spoiled, it is much nicer if I find out for myself.
