No, that's actually completely impossible.
Automated anti-spoiler is simply not possible, it requires understanding the language, which no computer is capable of doing - not to speak of some PHP scripts ^^

At best white/black lists may exist, but most spoilers don't rely on a single words, but rather on meanings.

Well, as I said, that's exactly what I did ^^
