I don't know... it's rare that I find a show to watch that I'm not gonna watch WHEN it airs, so it's never affected me that much. But I think if it's something maybe before the show airs, like leaked stuff, that should at least be hidden by a Read More -> link or something, to give people a choice to whether they want to be spoiled or not.
But either way I mean it's not the end of the world and people need to grow a pair about it, lol.

YUP. I think I would be more sensitive towards spoiler-phobes if they weren't so obsessive. I mean, like, I do feel guilty for spoiling them but Tumblr makes it so easy for people to un-follow another that I believe if you do have problems with whatever I post you can opt-out. Heh.
Personally, I hate spoilers. I voted 2 hours being too soon because there's a 3 hour time difference between coasts of the United States alone, but I know not everyone takes that into consideration so I just avoid Tumblr/Twitter for a few hours and don't log back on until after. Complaining about spoilers is useless, they aren't going to go away. Avoid the sites you know will post them or STFD, imo.
eh spoilers are everywhere on the internet so im just careful in general, specially with shows airing late in west coast time. Which kinda sucks sometimes but i try to avoid watch-a-long post posted earlier and tumblr eh, you cant do much about it.
People who take EVERYTHING as a spoiler really annoy me. It limits the fun I can have as a fan of a show if I can't share those things with my friends online. Likewise, I'm typically one to think that once something has aired generally in all timezones, people should be allowed to post stuff, none of this we gotta wait for the people to download it after kinda crap. Jesus, by that time the fansquee is already over. Generally, I think people should be respectful, but there really is a fine line between respect and people asking a little too much out of the definition of a spoiler.
I thought about this for the first time yesterday when I started seeing Who posts and thinking "HEY! I haven't seen this yet!" So, 12 hours, I guess? I'm less bothered by image spoilers because I find it easier to scroll quickly through them, as opposed to text since it's easier for me to pick out certain words.
