Seriously, the spoiler tag is a good thing... ...when used correctly. When used incorrectly it's just an indicator of a poorly developed sense of humour. And not having gotten laid for a while. And having being bullied at junior high while all the popular girls looked on and laughed.

There needs to be a rule. So Demonhood can do a Judge Dredd thing and say "I am the law" while handing infractions out.

Yeah but what good are infractions, I mean is I'll keep using the spoiler tags up until I get close to banning, wait a week and let the infractions roll off.

If they're in the system then everyone is going to use them. Its binary, either turn then on or off. Its going to be impossible to manage them beside as I said people who'll want to use them can live with an infraction or two just of the delight of using them

Lethal force is a bit harsh. Just send an electrical jolt over the internets.

You could kill people who do that, but you run the risk of getting banned from the lounge.

Is it that hard to quote a post that is using it?

I would post them, but for some reason I can't find the option to disable BB code.

Spoiler tags are considered to be a deadly weapon. It is a little more dangerous than a M16 but not quite a 50cal. As such the information for their use is considered highly classified and requires a special permit.

I think you have to buy one from an Admin!
