Exactly.

Having the housemates be revealed on launch night is all part of the fun of the launch for me. I don't think I should have to flat-out avoid the forum just because they've decided to do it differently this year.

And there are threads where people can talk freely about the housemates, threads which people like me will of course be avoiding. It's not like people have to click the spoiler tag button every single time they want to discuss the housemates, just keep it to the designated threads. I really don't see the issue.

And as for "just stay out of the BB section", it would be all fine and dandy if housemate discussion was being limited to this section (specifically the housemate discussion threads). It isn't. If people are going to talk about it in the chat section / threads not created for housemate discussion, then yes, they have an obligation to use spoiler tags I think.
