quick etiquette question

just wondering about something, because it seems to go both ways. in threads like "naruto 388" and whatnot, are spoiler tags really necessary? personally i think it's pretty obvious it will have spoilers up to that point, but some ppl still use the tags and some don't. wondering the common opinion on this
it was just getting a little annoying having to continually highlight to read the tags. and im studying so typing this was the first distraction i could think of to kill time.

I always don't look in these threads that i'm interested in but has chapter numbers, because i know it'll be some discussion and spoilers for it. Anyone who clicks into there and assumes this isn't the case is very naive.
It takes little effort to use and read spoiler tags, everyone should use them, or at least have an open spoiler warning in the title. I avoid threads like that, that could have potential spoilers, entirely as I know people don't bother to use spoiler tags.
I don't mind people not using them as much in threads like "Chapter xx" but when people suddenly post spoilers in irrelevant topics it's very annoying. Whats even more annoying are threads that have spoilers in the name, like "did xxxx really die?" Yeah, thanks a lot for that. -_-
