Perhaps, but again delineating between before and after is hard with Homestuck, when effect can come before the cause as with the Scratch. Besides as of late it may be Before, after, after the after, and after the after the after etc which elongates the spoilers. For instance Gamzee goes insane. But then every plot point after that involving him also has to be spoilered. You see what I mean?

The first few point and some thereafter were unspoiled but around the start of Act 5 most everything is spoiled completely and that\\\'s also the bulk of the page.

The text is incredibly awkward I\\\'ll agree, but picking out the spoilers is tedious work and it gives me headaches, so I\\\'m sorry that everything\\\'s not great. It\\\'s easy enough to fix. And once again the main justification is really \\\"why even have them\\\" when we pretty much assume everyone to be caught up before reading the pages (and tell them to do so). There is a justification perhaps in that critical spoilers from early acts should be hidden, but the problem is that they become built into the next act and taken for granted. The fact that Homestuck is about the apocalypse is something virtually nobody would consider a major spoiler, yet it\\\'s the key spoiler in Act 1. The same applies for the existence of the Trolls, where John exactly is during Act 2, and so on. It\\\'s simpler to write the text out and explain the progression of the story than to apply spoilers the way we were doing. Relying on spoilers to help tell the events of the story is something that ultimately doesn\\\'t work as we proceed through a sheer tidal wave of spoilerable material
The most concise message I can think of is one of the edit tips, where a most spoilered out example doesn\\\'t serve very well as an example. A mostly spoilered out page doesn\\\'t serve very well as a page.
