What does the term "anime spoiler" really include?

You DON'T have to show the conclusions of any of the battles in Naruto: in fact, that's the ploy a lot of those videos use so as to avoid spoilers.
But yeah, spoilers are key plot elements that a person shouldn't know upon watching the show for the first time. Going back to Naruto, no, it wouldn't be a spoiler to learn that Naruto fights a lot of people but it would be a spoiler to reveal that...well...if I told you, I'd be spoiling it.

Alright
I think I am understanding the line between spoiler and non spoiler now, the only issue I have about context is when submitting an AMV to this site I have no control on who watches it some one who has seen the anime several times through and some one who has never seen it have the same opportunities to download and watch as any one else. Keeping these in mind I think I can rest easy when checking that little box or not. Thank you everyone for your input.

I know I'm coming late to the party here, but:
I think the best way to tell if something is a spoiler or not is to judge your OWN reaction as a fan. If there is something in your video that would have really pissed YOU off to have discovered before experiencing it "naturally" by watching the show, then it's a spoiler.
And as a general rule of thumb, when you'r eever in doubt, go for marking things spoilers. That saves all the uninitiated regardless. ^_^
