Nobody likes it when others ruin their fun by telling them the end of the story. Some people just aren't as caught up with others because they're busy or haven't gotten around to it. Whether it's your favorite TV show and you're a few episodes behind or a book that you haven't read yet, the last thing you want is for someone to tell you what happens. Spoilers can ruin the fun for everyone else and the last thing we want to do is take the fun out of your favorite stuff.
A lot of users were unhappy when fans were making picks that were spoilers during the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm still reading Book 5 so when I saw many of those picks I was pretty unhappy myself. That's all about to change. We've added a new feature to let users declare their picks as spoilers! Now you can check off if your pick is a spoiler and it will be masked in the picks index for the spot. If you want to see it just click to reveal. We knew this would come in handy especially now that the new television season has started. Now you can unabashedly ask all the LOST and Heroes questions you want without ruining it for everyone else!
The last thing we want is for fans to be upset at other fans for sharing their love and excitement about their favorite topics. Sometimes you can't help but ask questions the minute the episode is over! So when you make your next pick, be considerate of your fellow fans and make sure you check the spoiler box if you think it might ruin someone else's fun.

Except; being the pessimist I am I would like to suggest a further feature (at this point you have permission to boo and hiss) you could set what date the spoiler was revealed on the TV show/book/whatever. But it would probably get mighty complicated :(
I'm thinking that like, in the future, a fanpop user could have settings for each spot like: "how many series behind I am" and "episodes missed" but just thinking about it I'm sure it would be very hard to programme
Well, thought it might be worth suggesting, I'll try to think of a way even though I'm not any good with computer codes :(
