Willful ignorance is still ignorance.
Why are we enabling ignorance?

At this point the books have been out long enough and they even have movies based on them, that any spoilers regarding Harry Potter are fair game.

If you haven't read or seen Harry Potter at this point, it's on you.

It's a major and recent piece of pop culture. If you wanted to see the movies or read the books, you would've done so by now. Or you're under the age of 13 and shouldn't be posting here anyway.

As for leaked spoilers, so long as they're labeled your own fault for entering the topic.

That reminds me, I haven't seen Izual in a while.

I'm talking about how GameFAQs instituted a zero tolerance policy for the final HP book after it was leaked. You couldn't even post about it with marked spoilers.

That should be the default policy for everything leaked.

too many people making amazingly accurate "predictions"

Imagine getting butthurt over Harry Potter spoilers

Spoilers for new Zelda games, however, should definitely be a bannable offense.

He's obviously referring to GoT, not HP.
---

It should be an insta-ban but with the specification that spoilers become fair game after enough time has passed (as in they will have become fairly common knowledge by that time, i.e. no one could be banned for saying that Darth Vader is Luke's father)
---

Spoilers for every movie ever
they end

I got warned for spoiling King Kong in 2004 because I assumed everyone already knew the story.

That's what prompted it, yes, but it should be for every leak tbqh.


Lol @ people who think I'm talking about Harry Potter.

I think TC's talking about when the final book leaked and people started throwing spoilers around online and in real life to ruin it for other people. Doing that shit back then was a shitty thing to do, and doing the same thing with today's media should be just as frowned upon and punished.

It'd be like talking about the part from the recently leaked Game of Thrones episode where Tyrion Lannister turns into a 50 foot mecha-dragon and fucks Jon Snow and Danaerys Targarean to death with his 90-inch robo-cock, without the spoiler tag, so everyone knows that he is actually a kaiju in disguise. No-one has seen the episode yet except a handful of people who saw it illegally, so posting unmarked spoilers for something that isn't meant to be out yet should be instantly bannable - accidentally spoiling something that's been out for a day is a dick move, but you're being a fuckass if you spoil leaked material and you should have your right to post revoked for your negligence.
