This I found particulalry helpful with Joshiraku, when a poster explained some wordplays, which were overlocalized. Vice versa, in Jinrui when I had to explain a couple of times some cultural/language issues that were ignored (tori kanji and manga vs doujinshi)

Well, to be clear, we do allow novel comparisons for episodes that have already-aired, provided it's behind properly-labelled spoiler tags. So this type of "clarification" is okay, and I personally agree can be useful and valuable. So, on this front, no problem, so long as it's labelled and tagged properly.

Well, again, I don't think I have enough information about the situation to fully understand it. In my simplistic (uninformed) view, it seems like it should be possible to just show the order of the episodes by number not title/volume/chapter, until each episode airs. That way, the order is made clear, but the details are left to be discovered... But again, I don't really know the show, so if it's better explained, perhaps I can come up with a better suggestion.
