From a discussion on the Olympics Board:

I don't know how tough it would be to implement here, but on one of the other sites I visit we have a
Spoiler:
tag much like the link/img tags. Anything that goes in the spoiler tags get hidden until someone hovers over that area it shows up as

spoiler, hover to show

thoughts?

Warnings/Bannings could be issued. I like the idea not only for the Olympics board, but for the M/TV board as well.

I pledge my full support.

Maybe an RA option for improper usage?

that's the beauty of the spoiler tag, it would be really hard to abuse, imo. If someone just says something stupid and doesn't spoil anything, it doesn't really make much of a difference. People trying to avoid the spoiler would never even see that someone was acting like an idiot.

btw figured since y'all ran with the idea I'd come in here to post in supporting it

I'm sure some would at first, but then the newness would wear off and it's greater good (the sanity of places like the Movie/TV Board) would far outweigh the initial cons.

I thought it sounded like subject/verb disagreement.

had not thought of this. good point.

also chicken, not that my opinion counts as much, but i say at least try it out. see how it goes, can always take it away if it does not work out. such as the youtube in-bedding experiment

I think this is a great idea, but instead of the

quote:

Spoiler:
tag much like the link/img tags.





Perhaps it can be like the codes where you just write :spoiler: and it comes up. Kind of like the babe thread rules (don't ask me how I know that)
