The matter wasn't helped by people not reading the articles carefully before removing tags, though
But one of the problems is that if you're deleting tens of thousands of them at once, you're *not* going to be reading the article. It's not just that someone slipped up once and didn't read an article, it's that people consciously chose to avoid reading the articles so they could delete en masse. It's just not *possible* to delete tens of thousands of spoiler warnings and still read the articles, and anyone who deletes that way damn well knows it in advance.
If it was just a slip up rather than a calculated action, it wouldn't be so bad.
