[WikiEN-l] Have we ever had a reader complaint of a lack of spoiler tags?

In other words: these sources are aware that people don't want to see spoilers,
and take measures (omitting key items/outcomes) to keep spoilers away from
such people.  But since the measures they use aren't appropriate for us, we
should use nothing at all.

If anything, the fact that newspapers and magazines recognize that spoilers are
a problem should suggest that we should too.

(Besides, I've seen plenty of print reviews with spoiler warnings in them.)
