What I am suggesting is that when it comes to usual discussions on latest episodes, games or comics we should be considerate towards others who have yet to see/play/read the latest episode/game/comic and not openly talk about content of yadda-yadda-yadda. For those who have seen it and want to talk about it to others who also have seen it can simply use these spoiler tags. Or very least talk about it in private chats.

Imagine if the Sonic movie came out and I was the very first on SNN to watch it, and I go ahead and blabbed about how awesome it was, what happened in the movie, the twists, the ending and so on under the pressumption "Everyone has seen it, so it's OK to talk about it" belief. That be unfair for people who want to see the movie and enjoy the cinematic experiance for themselves.

However it's OK to openly talk about latest content that is covered from the synopsis of the episode (TV schedules note about the episode), or what is speculative and predictable. I also stated it's OK to openly talk about latest content on a discussion thread if an episode link is provided for all to watch and enjoy it.

These obligations do not apply to main space articles and their talk pages. Of course they should be updated as soon as confirmed information becomes available. It's the community users choice to browse these articles and there is a spoiler warning on the main page that covers it.
