We can't have it both ways - ie comments AND a proviso to those comments.
I think that anyone browsing through the comments should realise that they might find 'spoilers' lurking in there - in which case, don't look until after you have read the story

I really like comments, but I do appreciate comments even more that say what the commenter likes without giving away the surprising twist of the story if there is one. I have seen a seen an author work really hard to try and surprise everyone and the first or second comment gives everything away.
I brought this up with Flopsy once before and she understood what I meant. I don't read the comments on an author's story anymore. You're right, they sometimes give away the gist of the story. Then again, so does the synopsis at times, but it doesn't take away from the actual story, and that's what I look for. . . A good spanking story.
The LSF tries hard to accommodate both readers and authors. I usually know what I'm getting into when I choose a story just by who wrote it. I'm happy with that now.
