Could those of you who despise this thing please take the time to go to

and remove it from ten or so articles where this is clearly the case? At least then if, God forbid, the accursed thing isn't killed after all, its harm will have been mitigated.

Bad plan.
I've already pointed out on the RFC page that it's often good to have a consistent user interface. It's best if all spoilers are marked as spoilers rather than some being marked as spoilers and some being unmarked because it's obvious. Even if it is obvious.
