Minor spoilers wouldn't be a big deal hexo, but I agree that a spoiler that big (in the context of this story at least) should be put in spoiler tags. A lot of folks want to read the reviews before the story to see if it's the sort of thing they'd be interesting in reading it at all. In this case perhaps someone would be curious to see how similar this is to MoR, or if Sherlock was transported to the 20th Century, or if DLPers had any significant complaints, etc. before wasting their time on the story.

I usually read them to make sure there isn't going to be a Romance focus. Half the time the summary provided by the OP isn't enough so people read the reviews -- there's a reason we have spoiler tags.

So yeah. It shouldn't be hard to figure out what qualifies as a major spoiler and what doesn't.

Edit: Castiel -- I didn't see it implied either but I assumed I just missed something. Perhaps I didn't miss it and it's just not there.

 

I personally don't give a fuck about spoilers -- especially as I read the end of a FF first more often than not. However, apparently other people do. So stop being dicks, hexo and Stormey.

New Common Sense Rule: As long as a story is in the Review Board, use spoiler tags if you talk about a fucking gigantic spoiler. That's why we have them. Just use common sense, folks -- don't go putting entire posts in spoilers now. You are all intelligent enough to see the difference between xyz dies and What the fuck, Harry owns half of Gringotts, even if both state facts from a story.

This rule doesn't apply once the thread is moved. Everything in the Library is spoilerific by default.
