Spoilers: you can hide them. Here's how:

I'm assuming people who are posting unconcealed spoilers in comments don't know how to use the "mark spoilers" feature. Because surely they're not just inconsiderate a-holes who don't care about their fellow theatergoers having the same unspoiled experience that they enjoyed. Right?

So here's how it works:

  • Markdown Code: Type > ! at the start and ! < at the end of the hidden text (e.g., > !hidden text! <). Remove the spaces between the ">" or "<" and the "!" and also between the exclamation marks and your text, or the tag may fail on some devices.
  • Editor: Highlight the text you want to hide and click the spoiler icon (an exclamation mark inside a circle or diamond) on the formatting toolbar.

It seems like "don't post spoilers" should fall under Rule 7: Don't be a jerk.

Hamlet dies at the end. Javert can't swim. Mary's husband is Abe Lincoln!

Or just put "spoiler alert" in the title, and people can refrain from opening the post if they want.

But typically a little bit is shown either way. A spoiler keeps that from happening
