Subject: Why do we not have spoiler tags yet?

Simple feature almost every video game forum has one. We are one of the only forums I know of that doesn't have a spoiler tag. This will help out A LOT as even if people put warning spoilers, and you scroll up you will get what you want spoiled. Also it's too easy to accidentally peek, and people quoting.

Just a thought sorry if this was already asked and answered. Seems like a basic addition to add on to this website.

Because this site runs on old tech. When the site gets updaed there will be a bunch of cool new features, I'm sure.

Is there a thread about the site updating? I would be interested to see what's being fixed.

Spoiler tags are done through BBCode and could easily be implemented with the site as it is right now.

They just haven't been added yet.

Nobody will know (I'm guessing) until they actually do it.

Was there any discussion on this? I don't see why not just add it... How hard will it be to add a spoiler code?

Yes, there was a thread about spoiler tags, earlier this year. Achronos replied to it with the following:

It is on the list of desired features.

Unrelated, but also on the list - sarcasm tags.

No promises, though.

If they're going to put that in, they'll do it with all the other updates and new goodies on the next website update. I bet that will be on Bungie day. Who knows? Maybe they'll see this and squeeze your tags idea in.

OP and others, if you still don't know what's going on. Quote either me or spawn and you will see our message. This is their way of a spoiler feature.

Why? This is so much more fun. It makes you feel like you're "in the know"

I wish they worked in a simpler way, though.

I still don't see a point. If somebody would use the tags, then right now they'll put 'spoilers' before the spoilers. In which case you won't look at the spoilers.

If they weren't going to use it, they wouldn't anyway. If you were going to 'peek' you'd do it anyways.

Now, I'm not against the idea. There's no reason NOT to add it. It's just I don't think there's any good reason TO add it. Eh.

I could find use for it in my larger threads beyond simply hiding spoilers.

Or if you are scrolling up on a thread, and you accidenatly see it, or if someone quotes somebody...

On the subject of hacky spoiler tag stand ins, it's easier if you use a visible link you can hover over like: [spoiler]
