I even went to the trouble of pointing out the obvious, by reminding people in the second paragraph that this could spoil those yet to watch Season 1 (since I made sure the title mentions Season 2).
We don't have spoilers in topic titles, because they can be seen on the main tables... but if someone chooses to read the article, they want to read the news (not just see a link, or a big empty space, or even hidden text). If they are worried about spoilers, they won't click on the topic title, because what else can they read in the article aside from information that are deemed spoilers?
Outside the news sections, it is different - spoilers in the body of a post should be forewarned (in the post or topic title) and/or hidden (by making the text white).
