This is just silly.

EVERY post will end up having spoiler protection in it.  There is
a point at which you just have to assume people have read the
books in order to have a discussion about the books.  All the
major Dragaera works are in print to the best of my knowledge. 
If people want to discuss the books and can't afford to buy
what's currently published all at once, they would logically join
the readalong list and buy one book per month or so as that list
progresses.
