Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

I've seen quote pyramids go from short to insanely long. I'm just wondering if there's a way (or code to be inputted) to minimize said quote pyramids?

For example: on some fanmade phpBB forums, they have a BBcode called "Spoiler".

Since I know Bungie uses bbCode, would it be possible to add this feature to Bungie as well to minimize the size of quote pyramids?

You can also find a way to minimize the quote, but also have a label for it.

Here would be the bbCode without a label, but it would simply be labeled: Spoiler.

[spoiler]Insert Text Here[/spoiler]

Here is what the bbCode would be with a label.

[spoiler="Long Post of Text"]Insert Text Here[/spoiler]

We have bold, italicized, underlined and quote, but why not add Spoiler in with the next site update or so? Same with strikethrough.

Strikethrough's bbCode is: [strike]Text[/strike]

Edit: Long walls of posts such as this could possibly use the spoiler bbCode to make their post not as Wall of China-ish. They could put all the information they need in the code, make a note outside saying, "Everything is on the inside of the spoiler" or something and then a person can click it and read the information.

This would eliminate the spammy post, "tl;dr", which doesn't provide discussion. The way to open the "spoiler" post would be a hyperlink that opens it up instead of leading it to another website.

This would basically get rid of it or minimize it by a significant amount.

You know we are only allowed to have 5 (I think) quote levels now, right? Quote pyramids can't happen anymore...

This is what the HTML code for Spoiler. I can seriously see it being used for something practical on this website.

<div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div' ;)[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div' )[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '<b>Spoiler: </b><a href=\'#\' onclick=\'return false;\'>hide</a>'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div' )[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '<b>Spoiler: </b><a href=\'#\' onclick=\'return false;\'>show</a>'; }" /><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onClick="return false;">show</a></span></div><di v class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">{TEXT}</div></div></div>

A spoiler code would be nice for game releases. The styling should probably be in a style sheet rather than the actual inline code.
