    This is the one that rides the line I find.

    On one hand it can be non-spoilery, on the other hand it can reveal the kind of events that are about to take place, based on how the person displays their emotions going through the story.

    An "OMG what!?" or "Whoa that was intense" doesn't tell much.

    But if people start mentioning being sad or tearful or things like that? That generally is a reaction that has a much more specific source. I was spoiled on the ultimate fate of a HW character back when it launched because someone in my guild said "[character name] nooooooo! T.T" (with T.T being a crying emote). No details, just a name and a reaction...but because it was that specific kind of emotion displayed, I knew what was coming though I didn't know the details. It was still an impactful scene, but one where I knew a certain character would be involved that wasn't present at the start of the scene.

    While most of the rest I'd agree with (though personally, and in my FC, we tend to avoid spoilers for the big moments of earlier content when we know new players are still going through it, but that's a personal decision we made), the emotions one can easily jump into spoiler category.

    As I recall, it only shows up after you've unlocked it - until that point it not a dungeon entrance on the map.

    I got blacklisted for a couple days by one individual because another person said "Hey, have you heard the X theme?" referring to the final fight's boss by name (that we knew was in the game, but they didn't say it was a fight...they got b-listed too) and I said "No I haven't, I guess I'll hear it when I get to it" meaning I'd hear it when I got to the part where it played.

    Was really the only time I've seen anyone in my FC take the low-to-no spoilers approach so far, b-listing anyone that so much as acknowledged that it had been posted.
