Spoiler warnings are more than just an inconvenience. And they don't
just waste space. Most people who would complain bitterly about a post
being too large will complain more if proper spoiler warnings aren't used.
What they do is allow people who want to talk about the recent episode
to find your post easily as well as allowing people who want to avoid your
post to skip it easily. They're necessary because a lot of Canada doesn't
get broadcasts of Buffy until Saturday night and Angel until Sunday night.
And parts of the U.S. that used to be serviced by WGN now get their Buffy
and Angel (if at all) very late on Saturday. So please use Spoilers until
Sunday morning.
Spoilers should be clear that they are spoilers and what episode they
are for. The following are standard accepted Spoiler Warnings along with
the HTML code to produce them.
