Spoiler tags

Like i said, there are special occasions when they would come in handy

It's a simple way for members who do know certain spoilers to communicate with others who also do without ruining anything for anyone

MPs...

I asked the same question in the past.
You can live without spoiler tags or roundabouts... you can try to be more elaborate in the ways you write, you have to be more precise in what you've seen in the anime. All in all you have to care about quality.
Plus spoilers tend to be useless in some shows that aren't strictly following the anime.

Other than quality, there's respect for people who don't read manga or didn"t read the one related to the thread. Respect is at least at two levels there:
-Don't spoil people
-Don't openly exclude people with spoiler tags, it's actually very rude if you think about it for a while.

Then, it's also a lot cleaner without those tags everywhere.

You can always rant about it, there are multiple forums on the internet, that one follows those rules, and does quite well don't you think?

Don't worry, some day you may also spread the words of wisdom (evilish grin)

Like i said, if they were indeed added to the forum that wouldn't change the fact that any kind of spoiler, with tags or not, would still be banned from the anime threads.

They should also be banned from sigs, the miles and miles of spoiler tags some people on other forums add to theirs is down right annoying.

That said, despite not practicing what I am about to preach as well as I should, I fully support Gotwoot's lack of proper spoiler tags.

- It encourages the practice of regularly inserting spoilers into posts.
- During the editing process, tags can be partially deleted or neglected to be closed (I do it all the time with the bold tag) and then there's spoilers exposed to the world. The only difference is now it, "wasn't a conscious effort to accidentally fuck up my spoiler tag." Which is wrong of course, since the spoiler was written in there in the first place.
- Having a strict No Spoilers policy is simply a lot more effective than relying on tags.

Any encouragement would be quickly dealt with by a warning from the mods, and we don't really have enough "new" members for that to be a problem.

I for one usually read a post after writing it ( for grammar errors and such ), so for anyone to actually catch a glimpse of my error they would ahve to be quite quick with the refresh button. Besides, that just means you would have to be a little careful while using them.

Again, there are special cases.

It would be perfect if they could be effectively banned from the anime sections of the forum as not to encourage anything.
