No teasers, and your cut says spoilers. Yet, when I clicked on it, all I saw were pictures of Sara from CSI.

May I ask what was so...spoilery about it? You would have thought they were scenes from the next episode or something. >_>

And since my second rant was obviously *inappropriate* because I need to *get over* the previous rant, I edited it. xD;

	i love it when people mis-label their icon posts just so people will click on it. [/lol sarcasm] not such a big deal, but i agree, its annoying. (Reply to this)

	It was probably labelled as spoilery as Sara was half-dead and stuck under a car at the end of last season, and to see her wandering around the desert is a big shouty, "Well, yes, she does escape the deathtrap car of doom in episode 8x01!" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Yep, that's what it is. But it's not at all spoilery if you don't watch CSI, so I agree that a clarification: "Spoilers for CSI fans who haven't seen the season premiere yet" would have worked well. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, yes. I'm always a bit wary when no information beyond SPOILER! is given. Is it a casting spoiler I already know? A key scene from last night's episode that I'm still downloading? A new season haircut or the minutia of the "rocks fall and everyone dies" finale? To click or not to click... (Reply to this)(Parent)

Part 1: Different things spoil different people. Maybe that person was just trying to be overly considerate, or actually did consider the things in the icons to be spoiler-y. I will say that people who do not use teaser icons annoy the crap out of me.

Part 2: Oh honey, when you belong to an icon ranting community and you make/use icons or icon resources, you are bound to do something that is ranted about here. I know it is hard to hear people brutally rip apart something you did, but that is kind of what we do here. You aren’t going to get much sympathy from this group. (especially by bringing it up again)

Try not to take it so hard and look at it as a learning experience.

Wasn't particularly looking for sympathy but it still annoyed me. I'll be over it soon enough, and hopefully a lesson will be learned in when I actually do offer up things to use.

It depends on your POV. Explanation with spoilers - highlight to read:

Let's say those icons are of Sara wandering through the desert. If you haven't seen the episode yet wouldn't you feel spoiled if you knew that Sara got out from under the car?

The big question of this episode was if Sara survives or not, so if anything more is said about those icons it could be a spoiler.

You would have thought they were scenes from the next episode or something.
Why would you think that? Did the subject line not say which episode these icons are from?

...No? Because I wouldn't know WHY she was wandering around in the desert.

Not specifically, no.

It still doesn't really justify no teaser pics or why the person was even so secretive.
