Well maybe if their stances weren't "People either have to deal with spoilers or get off the internet because I don't like spoiler tags" then I might be a bit more accommodating.

Is it a spoiler for something recent enough that people would be angry for finding it out before seeing the movie? Use spoiler tags. At the very least put "Spoiler" in big letters at the beginning of your post. Because Occam's razor.
I'm reminded of a time when my DVR screwed up and didn't record a certain episode of Transformers Prime. So I headed to the official thread because streaming links are put up there fairly quick. The idea is that I'd only
barely look at a post to see if it had a link or an embedded Youtube video in it. First post I come across had, in big old letters, the major spoiler for the episode, displayed in such a way that I couldn't
not see it.
Because sometimes, even if you're trying to avoid spoilers as best as you can, someone else is going to be an inconsiderate douche and get them to you anyway.
