'Spoilers' prefix

[The Cowboy]

Any chance of adding a 'contains spoilers' prefix for The Ale House?

Threads like the Westworld one, and countless before, folk want to discuss the latest episode but it can get tricky remembering to use the spoiler function within each post, plus it gets hard to follow after a while.

Folk could continue to use the generic 'TV series' thread for general chat about the programme to avoid the spoilers.

People should just use

Spoiler: This

if they're going to talk about spoilers.

But that's my point, give it 2 or 3 episodes and every post could be a spoiler depending on how far you've got. It would be impossible to read the thread.

Would be best to just flag the thread as one big spoiler.

to be fair.......

It is very tempting to click on a spoiler button to see what is behind it.

I haven't watched Westworld yet so I'm not going to look at the thread.

Not exactly hard is it?

So I guess you avoid the 'TV series' and 'last film you watched' threads too then? After all, they will contain things you haven't watched yet.

Don't get a wet on because you're not getting your own way mate. It's not becoming of a cowboy.

People tend to give overall opinions in those threads rather than go into detail though. The thing you said in your OP is pretty much how it works isn't it?

You can give your "Spoiler" a title.

Like thus....

Spoiler: Jelly don't shake like that....

Sound idea: generic threads use the spoiler tags, dedicated threads have a spoiler warning already in the thread title.

and further: in the dedicated threads you'd only use the spoiler tag if you were bringing up something that hasn't been aired yet.

Common sense, really.

I agree,putting the spoiler button thing will make you press it more,to see whats behind it [or i would press it more],were as if just normal theres always a chance you miss it with sometimes so many posting at once,depending what thread you use it for

I'll edit the thread title to contain it, but as a general point let's ask the boss man - @GrandOldTeam, whatcha reckon?

It would be good if people would use the spoiler function though.

All good mate, whatever you reckon.

It feels a bit 'caution, contains nuts' on a packet of nuts though....
