What is a spoiler? *SPOILERS*

[Altena]

I am pretty strict about spoilers personally. I don't name drop or even hint at what I am talking about, if I think there may be someone who has not hit that point in the story yet. I also filter out all chat modes aside from my FC until I have completed the story. I do this every story patch. I learned to do this because of having a certain NPC's fate spoiled for me in 2.0..

People that truly care about being completely spoiler free probably already do this, or at least to some extent. Apparently there was a /sh in the early days of EA while people were stuck behind Raubahn Ex where someone who managed to zerg through ended up spoiling a certain important cutscene.

My point here is that those who truly care about spoilers should really be filtering all of this stuff anyway, because there are some inconsiderate arsehats/trolls in the world.

I am a spoiler baby. Proud of it. Though items/mounts aren't a spoiler in my eyes... However -

Any details involving dungeons, trials or raids with the exception of any character names directly tied to the main story. Any elements unreleated to the story such as loot or fight mechanics are fair game.
Any content prior to the latest major patch, because let's face it: if you're THAT far behind, story is most likely the least of your concerns.

Can't agree with these two points.
Some people appreciate "blind runs" when content is brand new. I for one don't like to be told about fight mechanics until either my first win or first wipe (depending on the content).
As for the 2nd point, new players exist. This game is very story driven, and some people actually care about it. You have to consider the audience.. If it's in an FC chat where everyone are vets then sure thing, name drop all you like.. However name dropping in a place like novice network, should be avoided pretty heavily.

Your post is pretty arsehatt-ish though.. And you're one of the reasons I filter my /s /sh /l chat.
