It does seem like correlation/coincidence, but we can't deny that, for whatever reason, the amount of spoilers noticeably dropped immediately after we implemented the spoiler discussion thread. At the very least, it really does reduce the amount of people posting spoilers in comments or making threads with spoilers because they realize "Oh, that's where everyone is talking about the episode and that's where spoilers go, okay". As far as the article edits go, though, there's no logical reason the discussion thread cut down on that, yet we seemed to get less spoiler article edits.
