I agree. I think what's really missing at the moment is support of staff, because only they can come down hard on spoilers. And darkparagon, yes, people do make mistakes, but even though they don't MEAN to spoil an entire series for someone, they still did. And I think there should be some sort of consequence for that.
Many of us older forumers don't really care much for rep because we've been here awhile, and we've built up good rep. But we're usually not the ones who spoil. It's as often as not the newer members, the ones who really do worry about building up rep. So I think being negrepped for spoiling would affect them.
Here's an idea. How about a negrep spoiler button? You see a spoiler, you just click that person's post and presto! anonymous automated "Please Don't Spoil" negrep appears.
