Whether posts in that thread are tagged depends on when the spoilers happened. Iirc, everything from season 5 is tagged, everything from the first four seasons isn't. But I could be mistaken about that. It might just be that stuff from moar recent episodes is tagged while stuff from earlier in the season isn't with the assumption that people will have kept up.

cba, since I generally get yelled at whenever I do anything mod-related.
One would be for n00bs who haven't watched the whole series yet, the second would be for people who have seen the whole thing and want to discuss it without bothering with spoiler tags.

Pretty much that's what I'd expect to have happen, yeah; the existing Lost thread is specifically about season five. With Lost it would make even more sense to have multiple threads actually since each season pretty much has its own plot twists that completely redefine the scope of the story.
Actually it probably did when it was first created too
Also I don't think this is serios enough to count as an "argument"

Stuff in seasons 1-4 is usually unmarked, season 5 stuff is usually marked since episodes don't even air at the same time everywhere and people don't always get to keep up with the latest episodes as often as they'd like. Though we may have gotten lax about spoilers from earlier episodes in season 5 after a certain amount of time had passed since the airing date. Also, speculation about upcoming episodes is usually tagged since some people want to go into new episodes completely unspoiled about what's going to happen next.

Man, I thought this had actual Death Note discussion. 
Major spoilers should be in tags, minor ones shouldn't. Simple as that, imo. (wait, is that what you're even talking about? XD)
I need to work on doing it. V_V

Yeah, I haven't seen all of the series yet and really would like not to have to ignore any and all discussion on it until I have. As was noted, not everything's been spoiler-tagged and even the stuff that's been just makes a page or two of SPOILER which is a waste of my time. I didn't create my thread intiially for that, mind you, but Aaron's got a good point--how do you keep the newbies spoiler-free and still have the vets enjoy a full discussion on it? Spoiler-tagging it all is an option but it's just so much easier on EVERYONE to have two seperate threads.
That said, I'm not throwing a fit over it. Whatever works.

I've read the DN manga--cover to cover within a couple of days. 
I was expecting it to be overhyped, tbh, and to put it down within a couple of chapters. Then I tore myself away enough to notice that the "couple of chapters" I expected was much less than the 40-something chapters deep I was in already. 
I rarely watch the anime versions of manga, even of the ones I like. That includes Death Note. I wouldn't say it's because of an aversion to them, it's just usually the case where the anime isn't complete like the manga is. When I already know the full story, I usually don't find the motivation to go back and watch an abridged version.

IMO, we should make a habit of putting spoiler tags around any discussion of plot and characters related to any popular show/book series/etc. I don't think it's very hard nor is it terribly inconvenient. Accidents happen, but with practice it may become less of an issue.

The new main guy has the same hairstyle as my sibling, it's disconcerting to look at him. 
Also, any bets on when Death Note will be banned in China for portraying the President in a less than positive light?
