People, if you know you are going to post something that contains a major
plot element from a later point in a series, for the love of God, PLEASE
give ample warning in the subject heading, as well as at the top of the
message, and insert about ten to fifteen lines of spoiler space, so that
anyone who hasn't seen that particular part of the series yet can avoid
having the whole thing ruined.

Otherwise, expect to be flamed, because a lot of people DO NOT LIKE to have
certain series spoiled in this manner. Ranma spoilers, while spoiler space
should be used, are not a major issue, because of the nature of the series,
but when you have a series with a plot which is revealed over time, like
Key or Evangelion, casually tossing around spoilers without warning is
liable to get quite a few people pissed off at you very quickly.******

    Actually, I would have to add Ranma to that list too. Aside from a few
Japanese novels with translations, and the fact that everyone and his mama
seems to have looked at/read the whole series, I only know the major plot
stories (sob), and whatever Viz puts out (I'm lame, I know:).  I suppose it's
pointless to ask about spoiler warnings about about certain Ranma stories,
since other people in other countries are already though the series, and others
have fan-subs. But I can see where this applies to titles like Rouroni Kenshin,
Yuu Yuu H., and Evangelion. If I hadn't already seen the end of Key, I would
have been pretty pissed as well. Also, if possible, could people send info on
certain series privately?
