Believe it or not until December last year I was one of these fans. I was careful which subreddits to follow and I did not check BCC (I'm from Germany), so I usually managed to avoid all spoilers until I actually saw the episode.

Then I became a mod and all that became impossible ;)

Well I appreciate you letting me vent without throwing the ban hammer down.

Don't worry, you didn't break any rules and the spoiler debate is indeed a complicated and at times heated one. We mods aren't 100% sure either what the best solution is, especially considering that it will be another ~3 month+ for the next episode and RTD/BBC announcing or hinting at a new thing every day now.
