Hello,
I've seen a number of posts lately that are rightfully tagged as spoilers (thank you), but explicitly state who the spoiler is concerning. It may seem innocuous, but this in itself can be a pretty big reveal and may diminish story surprises for new players.
For example, say Bob, a friendly NPC runs afoul of the Bad Guys sometime in early ARR and is killed. When you submit a fan art or a discussion that says "[Spoiler: 5.1] My WoL and Bob hanging out", it doesn't take much to infer that Bob has survived or otherwise returned to the story, and is relevant as of patch 5.1.
It might seem like a small thing, but even regular cast members have moments where we can't be certain they're alive or dead; using their name in a post title with a patch spoiler removes any mystery - they can't be causing spoilers in 5.x if they actually died in 2.x.
That's all. Thanks for reading ~
