Sorry if this has been asked, but can you guys add in a spoiler tag function? I've gotten quite a few of unwanted spoilers lately, and am getting annoyed by it. Can you add a button that makes you have to click a Hide/Show button to show the spoiler? An example :

[spoiler=FFXI CoP Mission spoiler]<Insert Text>[/spoiler]

Thanks in advance.

If someone really wants to hide a spoiler they can set the background of their text and the text itself to the same colour.

Just like this.

Besides, adding a tag wouldn't prevent people from sending you spoilers if they don't care.

A handy button would be nice though. Most people have never clicked the "markup help" and scrolled down to find out about the block tag. Which is why I sigged it.

Most people don't know how to do that though, It's not like there's a list of space for a simple spoiler button that would do that automatically or something.

In terms of hiding spoilers I think the system in place works just peachy.

But then the REAL reason for spoiler tags isnt just to keep people from reading what they might not want to, but to COLLAPSE a large section of text such as an analysis or mathematical info (or in the case of forums that allow it, images) into a hidable space within a post. It also lets people ramble on and on for pages and pages in the tag without reaching the post-character limit and allows those extremely long posts that go on for days to look like a 2-inch reply to the thread so people dont have to sort.

All that said -- it's not something I've ever gone and said "it'd be great if Alla had that!" as opposed to Total War forums where everyone thinks they're a historian and has to quote 20 pages of wikipedia and include 30 screenshots in every post. All-in-all, not really neccesary.
