It sucks that the site doesn't have an ignore feature to block out the douche bag posters who don't have enough self control to stay out of threads they don't belong in.
If, as a reader, you see someone, posing as a non reader, posting spoilers as their theories, it would be best to just RA the pathetic, little immature twats who need to boost their self esteem by trying to look smart on a message board. By coming in and calling out a particular post, it draws attention to it when it might have just been glanced over by the non readers.
When someone who says they are a non reader pops into the thread one minute after the episode is over with a barrage of
screen shots to support their "theory", its fairly obvious to
everyone, even those of us who are illiterate, that they are a reader, or someone who has taken spoikers, links, etc., from another site because they can't help seeking attention to make up for not being loved enough as a child.
It is unfortunate that a few bad apples have to give the readers, a bad name, when most of them don't cause issues. But it only takes one tool to post a big spoiler and piss everyone off to the point things are now.

this is why it pisses us off to be treated as second rate citizens because we have to pay for the crimes of a few. the way yall react to our posting makes the reader thread into a fricking concentration camp.

I agree with most of your post. But this line always got me.
"people posting because they want attention/replies/notoriety/to look cool"
There hasn't been a spoiler posted this year, so again the majority of your side are making more of an issue than there really is.
But everyone who posts wants people to read their posts, so to call people out for wanting attention to their posts is laughable to me.
