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.
