Reminder: Please use "spoiler" tags

Gaile Gray.6029 · January 8, 2019

In order to show courtesy to our fellow players, please be sure to mark any spoiler-ish content with spoiler tags.

To do that:

Start the spoiler with [ spoiler ] (without the spaces)
End the spoiler section with [/ spoiler ] (also without the spaces)
Alternately, highlight spoiler text and click the 'Format' button above the comment box and click "Spoiler" to automatically apply the spoiler tag code to the selected text.

Remember:

Do not use a spoiler in the title.
Feel free to say "Spoiler" or "Possible Spoiler" in the title if you wish to do so.
If you're linking to potentially spoiler content off the official forums, please be sure you note that there is a spoiler in that content, or put the link behind a spoiler tag.

Thanks!

And, of course, don't make the 'subject' the spoiler.

Excellent point, thank you!

And if you are going to link to outside sources, put that link in the spoiler tag too

Yes, agreed!

I edited my post to include both of your good suggestions. Thanks a bunch.

Code for spoiler tags seems to have been changed to use > with a exclamation point

Testing this. (Quote the post to see what I wrote for each one.)

Old format, in line spoiler tags

Old format in line spoiler tags

in the middle

of a sentance

Old format above and below spoiler tags

Automated spoiler tag (from the formatting menu)

Typing out the new tag

New tag >!inside a sentance

So the old tags do still work, as do the new ones. But you have to tag an entire block of text, you can't hide just part of a sentance/line

Reminder: Please use "spoiler" tags
