Imo, the spoiler tags should either be deleted at once after a massive
TfD/MfD debate, or individually removed depending on the article. The
current rampage is insane. We need these tags, no matter how you put it.
Once there is a real consensus for deleting them, they can be deleted.
Anyway, I think they are redundant at the top of == Plot == headings, as the
word "plot" is clear enough. For now, leave them alone.

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.
