    I think OP is having an unreasonable overreaction. Sure, it's nice for people try to avoid it for you. Fair enough. But it certainly isn't their obligation and it doesn't warrant the anger. This is a pinball-specific forum, meaning it's not hard for you to avoid it if it's important to you to be unspoiled, and, indeed, the burden to do so is on you.

    I couldn't watch the finals yesterday and had the wherewithal not to come to pinside until I'd seen the video, for the same reason I don't visit the espn homepage if I don't want to know the results of the game and I don't visit the Breaking Bad forum if I'm behind. It's a hobby-specific site and you are acting like you accidentally stumbled over the news when you were trying to search ebay or something. That's not what happened, here, and you may want to simmer down.

    Quoted from jar155:

    Hmm, you live in an odd world.

    Well, I guess I'd have to agree that one of us does.

    Look, I'm not advocating for spoilers. I'm advocating for controlling your own destiny. Yes, I'm familiar with many other enthusiast forums, and while many people are, like myself, careful about posting spoiler material, there are always newbies and people with different ideas concerning what's reasonable or what constitutes a spoiler in the first place. Inevitably, you get spoiled sometimes. I've learned the only way to remain unspoiled is to avoid the sites for a period of time. It's simply reality. Pretending that it's otherwise is what I see to be living in an odd world.

    I suppose it's a question of life philosophy: you can attempt to control the behavior of everybody else in order to fix your problem or you can make the most minor of modifications to your own behavior instead. My experience indicates the latter is more likely to be successful, but, hey, good luck to you with the former. So far, it seems to be stressing you out.
