@Gekko135:
sure, i like to wait for the scans or at least a good translation. This latest chapter wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining for me if i'd have spoiled myself.
that said… if I need to, I go in threads that don't have anything to do with One Piece
Yes, this is why I'm suggesting this. Of course you can avoid those forums until you've read the chapter, and of course you can hide avatars and signatures. But user titles are still universally used in every forum, so you could go in, for example, the media forum and see a post by someone with a very "recent" bit of text under his name. And if you hide avatars and signatures you will generally look at the username to see who made the post you're reading, and it's kinda hard not to see the user title in doing so.
Also, this has nothing to do with the anime. This is about people plastering their profile with spoilers the very moment it's no longer against forum rules. Half the time the scanlation isn't even out yet and won't be for a few days, as was the case with two major moments in the manga recently. If simply establishing not allowing spoilers in profiles until a week or so after that chapter the spoiler is from would help a lot.
As for the last part of your post, Gekko. I don't think people should be afraid to come to this forum when a new chapters been released, especially considering a lot of us post and read non-OP related topics on this thread.
