how many "spoiler alert" threads do i have to sift through to find a damn spoiler!

i click on spoiler alert threads for spoilers, not debates about ethics and decorum!

while y'all get bent out of shape arguing if the headline should say "spoiler alert" when the body contains a spoiler, how we make sure that when the headline contains "spoiler alert", then the body must actually contain a spoiler! simple enough?

like, they find spock! sorry if that ruins it for you!
