[Recommended Feature] Spoiler Tag.

A spoiler tag for all manner of discussion, from movie-or-video game chatting to eSport event talking. There are two main ways to do this:

  • 1.) A drop-down command that hides the words before they appear. IE:

A spoiler would go here, but you'd have to hit a button to make it appear. Slightly above and/or below this.

  • 2.) <s> and </s>, for example, would make the text the same color as the backround. As such, the spoiler is there, but you'd have to highlight it to read it. Alternatively, black out the entire line of text. It'd still require you to highlight it but people can't read it unless they do.

This way, people can participate in discussions on things that could have spoilers without worrying about things being spoiled if they miss the initial tag and/or warning.

Has been asked for numerous times early on, but I'll always upvote it. Any minimization feature would be an amazing boon for long posts to help readability. If I could minimize sections of my Guides or any sections of a champ concept. Sooooo much nicer to read.

As a common user of many forums, I can tell you this is one of the most useful universal forum features out there. Beside the obvious use of preventing spoilers, the spoiler feature is one of the best formatting tools available.
