I try my best to avoid spoilers but if I do happen to include them in something I write up I give a warning before hand so no one gets upset. Now if someone ignores my warning thats not my fault, I gave them a fair chance to avoid it. Im sorry someone did that on the forum to the Game of Throne's fans. I havent watched the show nor read the books yet which I plan to do both but I have had things ruined for me and it sucks. I would want to think that moderators could punish for those sort of things....maybe Im wrong but that person should be kicked off for that sort of thing.
Why spoil?? (Contains ZERO spoilers for anything)

Ok so I frequent the Amazon video game forums but hold off on commenting as the community there seems pretty tight and truthfully I don't have the balls to get involved. The only reason I say this is that a very important subject came up about spoiler alerts on said forum today.
On the forum someone decided it would be a good idea to reveal a major spoiler for Game of Thrones (the HBO show) in the subject heading of a forum. As you may of may not know, the TV show is based off a series of books and will not catch up for two to three more seasons. This individual, in the space of a sentence, completely destroyed the major plot point of this season on a show that is doing a really great job of building excitement and tension. This for me is the lowest of the low in trolling. I'm a big fan of Game of Thrones and have read the books but if I had not my enjoyment and involvment in the series would have been severely blemised (if not ruined). I genuinely feel for anyone that had their excitement for the season destroyed by some moron with a superiority complex.
Personally, when I post a blog on a particular game say, I try to be as basic and non-specific as possible while still getting my point across. I know from personal experience that some people enjoy reading articles on games/movies/shows, they are yet to experience, just to decide whether they want to get involved in it in the first place. In this case, however, the individual did not give the reader a chance to screen and avoid Game of Throne topics. To very clearly spell out a major plot point for the purpose of spoiling the experience for other people is for me the lowest form of trolling and should be almost punished by forum moderators. I really hope that fellow Pixlbytes feel the same as from what I've seen so far in the Pixlbit community; we are all very respectful.
I apologize for this random rambling but this just really irked me all of a sudden.
Let me know what you think on this. For me it's a huge reason to avoid online interation with others. For shame.....
Later!
