Spoiler Tags

A reminder:

 

Spoiler tags are not to be used in the blogs unless it is hiding information that requires spoiler tags (storyline info, web content, new sets, etc.) as per the BZP spoiler policy here.

 

Oh no!, you say. What will I do if I can't hide all of my blog approvals/large amounts of quotes/photos/crazy storyline info in my blog entries and content boxes behind spoiler tags?

 

You can:

1. Deep link to each image, blog approval, topic, etc.

2. Create a blog entry, lock the entry, edit the information into it, and then put a link to it in a content box, similar to what I have done with the list of blogs I follow here.

The no comments speaks for it self, doesn't? :P

 

Anyways, I've seen it be done more than once, and people still do it. Why don't we make the collapse and un-collapse thing, like the spoiler for people to use freely?

I don't mean to start an argument or anything, but why is using spoilers for things like blog approvals a problem? Why does that need to be a rule?

It's already a rule. This is a reminder.

Ok, but what's the reason for it?

1. Because it is our rules and the administration says so and we have reason for saying so.

2. Because it is a misuse of the spoiler policy.

3. Because it is a waste of bandwidth seeing as it still loads the content being hidden, which takes time.

4. Because it doesn't actually fix anything when people post giant images (something that you really shouldn't be doing anyway when you can simply deeplink them) and hide them in spoiler tags, because they still have to load.

I don't quite agree with the rule overall, but I respect those who made it and I can see legitimate reasons for it. People have abused usage of it in the past, and action has been taken. Thus, I have just learned to not use it.

 

Anyway, nice list of alternatives. I also think some people should learn how to resize images in the first place, so we wouldn't ever have to deal with overly large files. :P
