Now, if this forum implementation doesn't have one, no big deal, but if it's an option somewhere, it would be cool to turn it on. UnMod.org's new forums just added them, for instance, and they look quite nice. Basically, they create a button you have to click on for the text inside the spoiler to appear.

Ah, but people have to remember to use it, and it makes more work for the moderators to police it.

This software does have a mod for spoiler tags, I use it on my own forum.

The only problem with this method is with how you view the posts. For example if you are just going to a specific board/threads, then you will avoid the thread called 'xxxxx spoiler' BUT if you are using the 'view the last 10 posts on the forum' link or if you switch on the 'view unread posts' option, then all the posts will be displayed whether they are spoilers or not.
iago:
I totally understand with the "last 10 posts" thing, but my hope is that people can figure that maybe they shouldn't look at that if they're worried about being spoilerized. For me, the effort-to-benefit ratio's better if we segregate by forum category.

Why fix it if it ain't broke? ::)
