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.

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.
