The mods can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the reason for this post-approval is to avoid dicks like thesaltydog from creating a billion accounts and spamming spoilers. They get deleted quickly, but people still see them.
I don't think the mods are going to deny non-obvious spoiler posts, since 27o isn't even a bookreader himself (or Lattimer?).
Spoilers hidden as speculation have always been a tricky area to deal with because of exactly what you stated.
