let me add to this.
normally what we would have done is to keep an eye on each discussion thread and if anyone starts anything related to spoiler, we will delete the post immediately. but (as if it's not already clear) mods and admins do have a life outside this forum, and at the rate you guys are generating replies, it's hard to do that.
normally, that's what i would have done. this week, however, has been so busy (and will continue to be so), since i have a takehome quantum field theory exam with one week time window, and thus have not had time to look in the discussion thread. i didn't even see the spoiler thread until after 11 pages or replies or so. (does anyone know enough QFT to help me out? <_<)
to the people who were spoiled: i personally apologize for not doing my job properly to protect you people from being spoiled. i'll try my best to prevent this from happening in the future. i like spoiler myself, but i perfectly understand why people would try to avoid spoiler as best as they could, and that's why i think it is very very important that your right to read the new chapter unspoiled is not violated.
to the people who made formal apology: still, shame on you. the only apology you can do is to NEVER REPEAT this in the future. you know what awaits if you do.
any response to this should be directed to me in PM.
