earlier post sums this up fairly well.
Changing articles without reading them looks encyclopediac, while changing articles after reading them is silly?
No offense, but if that's true, we're better off with silly.
Just to point out that tarring all folk with the same brush is not a good idea, I was one of those who spoke out in favour of removing most spoiler tags, but never endorsed automated or autopilotmated (is that a word?) removals. All removals of spoiler tags which I made were done after reading the article in question; I personally think a "hunt and destroy without thinking" approach is horrid for anything other than blatant vandalism and bad faith editing.
