Spoiler protection

Languorous Lass · Post by **Languorous Lass** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 1:31 am

On some other bulletin boards I've seen, there's a function that allows you to cover up part of your text that contains spoilers. Is that function available on this forum? I've had one LG15-related issue spoiled for me already, and have recently been discussing with another forumite the fact that she revealed the shocker in the climactic scene of Hitchcock's Psycho. I'd really like to avoid such spoilers in the future. If that function isn't available here yet, could it be added?

That is a good point.

One thing you can do is use the "Font colour" button and change the font to white. Mark it as a spoiler, so if yo uwant to read it, you can highlight the text and read it. This is probably the easiest way to do that...

Well, obviously that doesn't work!

So forget I said anything.

Edit: Works nice in quoting! So put it in a quote box and change the font to white! There, I solved everything!

Okay, so now that we have a solution that allows people to hide spoilers, could we please make it forum policy that people should do so? When I raised the issue in the other thread, I got responses like "But everybody knows what happens in that movie." Well, not everybody does know, and not everybody has seen every single movie/TV show/magazine article there is to see. I really hate to see the experience of watching a great movie spoiled for someone who hasn't seen it yet, simply because somebody else is careless.
