I take your point, but I'm stressing a different one: At RT, you are as close to guaranteed not to encounter spoilers as it is possible to be. In an HTF thread, no matter how we characterize it or title it, there is no guarantee that you will not encounter a major spoiler. That's the reality of life in an online forum, and I think it's important for participants in this discussion not to put too much faith in a mere matter of format.
