Yes I know this is in the wrong forum. But I wanted to see if anyone else thinks that this is a good idea or not? And general is heavy in Schmoe traffic. What's a spoiler tag? It is another posting option whereby when someone posts potential spoilers, either in text or image form, they are hidden with a tag. To reveal, you simply click the little button in that person's post. I myself have been guilty of posting potential spoilers by accident. Most recently in the Gore thread where I posted many many images. Sorry to those who I offended. My bad.
This forum modification is as simple as pie to install. And I may email JB directly about it. But first I wanted all of your opinions on it. Sure, we can keep typing;
++++++ WARNING SPOILERS ++++++
But that's ugly. Lol. And while most of you could care less about it, what say the rest of you?

I always found *spoilers* to work just fine

Yeah, most people do. It's what they're used to as well. But this option is cool. It hides everything within the tags until you hit the little button. I frequent alot of other forums, and most of them implement this function with great success. Just a thought on my part. :)

I'd love for spoilers to be on a different plane than the rest of the discussion.

I dig this suggestion as well especially after navigating the spoiler warzone that the Lost thread is becoming :p...somehow the season finale details got leaked (maybe fake maybe not) and everyone's putting up spoiler tags and doing everything properly but I still want to discuss the show and it's hard not to scroll through and accidentally catch your eye on a spoiler :S....

Agree with JC.... Scrolling past spoilers is dangerous, and this is a site full of spoilers.

I've seen in other forums (not that I go to other forums) a helpful [tag] for spoilers that marks them in a way that's impossible to read unless you click on a button that reveals the spoiler. Those seem very useful, wonder if JoBlo can get those.

Well he mentioned updating the boards a couple of weeks back, maybe that is something new that can be done now? I like the idea myself. Then again I still read the spoilers even when I know I shouldnt. Spoilers are like crack to me, I cant resist them!!
