I am against spoilers on IMFDB pages. I try to be as general and generic as I can when writing descriptions.
Bear with me. I have a hypothetical example here:
I personally don't like reading
"Character A is killed and then Character B picks up his gun and then is run over by a truck, but before he dies he shoots Character C who then throws the hidden treasure that everyone is looking for, over the cliff, thereby ensuring that no one gets anything ...."
Is that much detail necessary? I am actually AVOIDING reading pages until I can see the movie, just because of that.
I would write:
"Character A uses this gun in the film and Character B later uses the same gun." I don't mention Character C at all because he doesn't use a gun and his death is supposed to be a surprise or a reveal. Why mention it at all?
I actually like IMDB's policy of not allowing spoilers or at least
ALERTING readers that information within a page contains spoilers.
This intolerance comes from a lifetime of people (acquaintances) ruining movies for me ... my entire life
Thoughts anyone? As an admin I am tempted to either edit spoilers or make warnings for readers on those pages....
