I just want to say that I love IMDB! It's the tops. That being said, I have to say that I am terribly aggrivated by one of our members. The spoiler Warning's are there for a reason. As I was looking at reviews for Skyfall, I came upon one titled - "the only thing good about this movie is that M dies". I mean what the hell?! All I wanted was to see what regular movie goers thought. I absolutely cannot stand people ruining movies for others. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? I mean come on. He spoiled it with his title. Anyway I hope you keep up the great work but I do think things like that should be monitored. Sorry if this sounds snippy but just because he didn't like the film doesn't mean he has to ruin it for others.

You're aware you just spoiled too, right? Considering your post, that was pretty rude. You could have made your point without posting a spoiler.

I scrolled for pages and pages and don't see it. It's possible it's been reported already. To do that, simply click the "report this" link and choose "spoilers without warning," and it'll be removed.

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. Ive been using this site forever but I just recently signed up. I had no idea how to do that. I'm a douche. Apparently I need imdb for dummies. I really do apologize for this. Although I clearly made a mistake, in my defense I did put a warning of spoilers on my header. In the future I will check to make sure I am doing things correctly. Oh and thank you for telling me how to report things.

You're welcome.

Now there's an idea for a help page, the 'for dummies' idea...which I have always loved.

No worries. About your spoiler warning, it's there but looks like your suggestion for how they should be labeling their reviews. Since it doesn't mention what title it's spoiling, that would mean that no one would help you or read your post because we don't know if we've seen it or plan to. When I read, I see/read a couple lines at a time...so I see the spoiler two lines before I get to it...and then it's too late.

But anyway, I really did look for it but didn't see it. So, it could be gone, but if you see it, yes, you should report it.

You're welcome...take care. And sorry you got the spoiler without warning. The guy should read "reviewing for dummies!"

Reviewing for dummies!!! Hahaha. That's great. And your right, it does look like I was suggesting a way to warn for spoilers now that you mention it. Again thanks for the help. Ill be sure to post any questions here before I go make a fool of myself again!
