I don't agree with the spoiler rule either. I think it's pretty ridiculous seeing as a gamer like me has so many games to play that I can't possibly get to them all within 3 years of them coming out.

I simply try to avoid spoilers instead of using the tags. Mind you it's pretty impossible to say what needs to be said without revealing something, I usually try to my hardest to get out what's in my mind without the annoying tags. It really isn't that difficult to do either, but I suppose the spoiler rule is meant to cater to the casual gamer who can either get through all the games they play in 3 years, or simply doesn't care too deeply about video game stories in the first place to warrant the trouble of highlighting a spoiler tag.

We're a dying breed, my brother.
