Arrow People putting spoilers up
I know some of you put the word SPOILER in the thread title - but seeing as all it takes is to briefly move the mouse over the thread title and it reveals the wording in your opening post....... can you please spoiler the OP content as well - otherwise it's all too easy to accidentally see what you have written without even opening up the thread.

Ta very much.

Thank you.

Nice to see that someone sees where I am coming from.

I didn't necessarily want to know this info just yet - but with so many threads on the same subject, with the Opening posts not spoilered (though I see King_Anton has now done so) - putting the word spoiler in the thread heading is a waste of time.

My most pertinent point is the fact that mentioning the names in the first post defeats the purpose of putting the word SPOILER in the thread title.

I agree, I think they should be in [spoiler] format as well..

Would it be possible to perhaps make mention of this in Tibb Towers at all?

Even putting the post in a spoiler it still comes up when you hover over it. I'll mention to admin about it, see if they can change that.

Why not insist on every post on every thread to be posted in spoilers, would also save people putting others on ignore lists etc.

If it wasn't then there would not be requested in the rules as posted by Admin and the mods.... - as is the fact it does in fact state that the opening post text should also be spoilered.

It even goes as far to explain how to do it.

Posting spoilers, without a spoiler warning in the title, and spoiler tags inside the thread, will be punished. Not everyone wants to know things before they happen. To post a spoiler, just put the text inside [ spoiler] [ /spoiler] (minus the spaces)

Maybe a wee step for a hint would be a very gently reminder by way of announcement from the mod team would highlight that what is requested by members posting spoilers, isn't happening.

A friendly reminder to fms wouldn't perhaps go amiss.

I need to put deliberate intent into having my pointer on a thread title and leave it there for a good, countable second before the opening post appears.

I wish my computer was as fast as yours.
