Thzar: No one "forced" you to read the spoiler board. The thread was clearly marked as spoilers, so everyone made their own decision of whether they wanted to read further or not. You read that thread by your own choice, so your above complaint of being "forced" is irrational. It was your own doing.

If this wiki wants to remove the spoiler board and create a "no spoilers allowed" policy, I'd like to know the specifics: If you want this wiki to be a spoiler-free zone, then define what you want first. My opinion is that it's all or nothing: You either allow spoilers, but try to contain them to a specific board (like we currently do) or you don't allow any tweets, news articles, promo info, etc. because once you start to allow certain spoilers, each person has their own interpretation of which spoilers are 'acceptable'.
 * The show airs in multiple time zones. When people start editing the wiki and having discussion during east coast airing, that spoils the episode for those of us living on the west coast and waiting to watch the episode legally.
 * Are people allowed to discuss official promo info? E.g. When Panorama500 pointed out Kane was in one of the promo photos, Thzar called it a spoiler. There are people who choose not to look at promo info, so any discussions or edits based on that is spoilers to them.
 * Is information from interviews allowed? From news articles? From cast/crew tweets? I've seen people post things all over wiki. E.g. article about Isaiah Washington not being a regular next season or that a specific character will live because of the actor's tweet. Both of those spoilers were posted off the spoiler board, one was posted by a mod.

Also, if you want to make this wiki spoiler-free, then you'll need the admins to actively monitor all discussions. Random users will still post the news article of Isaiah Washington or what cast/crew said in a tweet/interview, so unless you have active admin engagement in this rule, it'd be irrelevant.
