~5.4 Even if the anime's source material like manga / light novel is likely finished long time ago, that doesn't excuse you to freely post spoiler contents without spoiler warning.
-Most of this otaku / weeb culture heavily prefer watching anime only rather than spoiling themselves on reading the source material and you can't do anything about that. Call it spoon-feeding or what, you can't change everyone's or majority's opinions.
-So, by giving respect to them you must based your spoiler post by checking if the anime catched up or ahead on the manga / light novel, or the anime studio said that the anime project is finished. If it is, then freely post that manga screenshot without spoiler warnings and tags, else you must still follow the spoiler rule.

QUESTIONS:
~~What's the meaning of 'LIMITED' on some rules?
>one post per day only
~~Why taking actions without warning and keep informing us about "DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE"?
>y'know.. admins and mods here just as rule 9.4 says, we have our own lives to deal with and we don't have time to inform someone that they have violated a rule. If you have complains then pm us
