@Fradi - You're being extremely presumptuous, however, in assuming that everybody comes to this wiki "expecting the easy way" and thus deserve to pay a price. '''Your own experiences are not applicable to everyone else. '''Also, it's not our responsibility to act as adjudicators, dishin' out some hard frontier justice in the form of spoilers to those who dare come seeking informational help. Talking of what people should and should not be as justification is just peremptory.

Second, as Geist points out, this isn't a question of where spoilers should be used, it's a binary choice of their existence. Do I think they could be made more effective, that their format and usage can be improved upon? Do I think they should be excised from unnecessary places? Absolutely! But for the aforementioned reasons I think they should still exist in some form or another.

Spoiler tags help people identify what pages have spoilers, allowing them to peruse and browse elsewhere without fear. Saying they should just avoid the wiki altogether under the assumption that spoilers are present somewhere is ridiculous. I'm not about to flee this site just because I've thus far been avoiding any info regarding The Corroded Man, but other people not accustomed to regular visits to this site are not so well informed as I as to where spoilers exist.

Also, you might want to rephrase your price tag analogy, as what little is logically decipherable of it makes a far stronger case for my side than yours.
