User ookamigirl has posted in every bloody currently airing anime thread this week with spoilers and no spoiler tags. Can you please do something about this already?

I put a warning on one of these earlier today that I was going to start removing her posts if she didn't stop doing that. If she continues to do it after this point, post again in this thread with a link and I'll take care of it.

The stuff he/she posts usually has no more merit than a short preview found at the end of the previous episode, so I don't see the issue skipping it altogether. Let's not even mention the awful format.

I'll link her here as well.

She/he's been around for a while; if you look at her past posts they've always been spoiler tagged (not that that justifies this of course) but I wonder what happened to make them not be so this week.

So she is almost similar to batman.

In all seriousness, this person has been here on ANN for some time, but from what I remember they did include spoiler tags. Not sure why they didn't include them this week, but it's possible they merely forgot.

Given this was done several times, I don't think this was the case, but it's hard to say.

She posts the same thing across several forums. (Copy & paste.) In some forums, her posts require spoiler tags. In other forums, they don't. She probably got confused as to which forums required what.

She did it AGAIN: animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2500024&highlight=#2500024

Seriously, if all she does is pop back and forth from one forum to another copy and pasting these spoilerrific synopsizes what value is she adding? She's not discussing anything, she's just infodumping in the worst possible way.

I don't really mind what she writes, and I don't even care that she doesn't use spoiler tags (but she should use them since rules are rules and she's been warned enough times). The thing that gets me is that KLAC used to be so awesome with his summaries, and ookamigirl is just not funny by comparison. But then again 誤称, she doesn't have to add much and she doesn't have to be funny. ookamigirl just has to follow the rules, specifically the use of spoiler tags (especially since she posts so soon after the episode airs). The problem was never about the posts themselves. I actually find her posts useful because they remind me that the latest episode has come out and that I need to watch it.

Valid points.


But you could do the exact same thing with a free app on your phone without breaking the rules of the forum....
