Everyone knows It Was His Sled, but most of the time, posting a Spoiler without any warning will get you cursed, flamed, and even banned from any forum you decide to post it on. However, there are some things you just don't want to spoil, warning or otherwise. With all the incredibly profitable uber-franchises permeating the pop-culture landscape, companies nowadays tend to be incredibly sensitive about plot details of their upcoming books, movies, TV shows, video games, etc. getting out to the public before the release date. This is especially true on forums where The Gods Themselves (series creators, staff) tend to frequent, because admins of those forums fear that any such leak might be blamed on said staff member, and so they'll be especially diligent in deleting said spoilers.

Companies have been known to have lawyers troll the popular Fora of the internet, seeking out any possible sign that spoilers of their property have leaked. Basically, the difference between an ordinary Spoiler and Spoil At Your Own Risk is that you can get away with posting a regular Spoiler if you give sufficient warning, while Spoil At Your Own Risk concerns situations where someone can be punished for revealing a spoiler even if they give all the warning in the world. The simple act of discussing the plot spoiler itself is what's being punished. If you post spoilers for the latest installment of Rise Of The Uber-Ultimate Hype Machine Wizards 12 before 12:01 AM on X Day Of Y Month Of Z Year, they won't just scream "Nooooooooo! You bitch! YOU BITCH!" They'll sue you. Hard. If said spoiled franchise is particularly lucrative, they'll send Mafia goons to your house to beat you and your family with reeds. And then they'll sue you. Hard. Spoil At Your Own Risk. Expect to see such spoilers running wild around the Interwebs right after said work has been released. Contrast Late Arrival Spoiler.
