Personally, I'd prefer if the thread is about Episode __ that any spoilers in it are limited to that episode. Or, if it does contain "future episode" information that it be hidden behind a spoiler tag. I've been burned on other boards by people posting unspoilered information about upcoming episodes in threads about an episode that had already aired.
Thing is I didn't even post anything about the teaser! I just said it was accurate and it was dumb of them to show it as it spoiled people who didn't know!
As the person who started this retarded clusterfuck of an argument I don't see how it got some abusive. As I said, I was just saying watch it because it was starting to head towards spoiler territory, and I have seen plenty of threads before where discussions start off like that and quickly end up getting full of accidental spoilers.
A certain Brit thought himself an actor and played the role of Gavrilo Princip to my Austria-Hungary and war was afoot!
But since I've seen the teaser but not read the spoilers confirming the events of the teaser is pretty similar to displaying the spoilers. For example, one of the episodes with Baltar on board the Basestar was trailed with his line (paraphrasing) 'Am I a Cylon?!'. Had you said, 'Pheewww, odd to have the spoiler in the trailer' about that it would have strongly indicated he WAS a cylon. However, as I'm in a better mood today I've no desire to draw this out. Plus I don't want the argument to actually spoil me... c'est fini And not because of Diacanu's fannying around.
