Deleted User	If the thread is not a "risky" discussion about the ending of a game for instance, and you therefore don't feel a need to put a spoiler alert in the heading, all you have to do is when there is an incidental spoiler, you cover it up Spoiler Alertlike this. It's extremely easy to do, you just higlight the risky text and click on the little question mark on the control panel above the box where you compose your post. It's very easy to just click on the little "show" flag for people who want to see the spoiler. That way we can all be happy. We have quite happily had many extremely spoiler-heavy discsussions about games on this site - such as the ending for The Lost Crown - all we did was add the word (SPOILERS) into the heading, and then people wouldn't even have to bother covering their text with spoiler tags in the subsequent discussion, as people who had not played the game yet, then know to avoid the thread. For isolated spoiler cases, that is specifically why the cover-up tags were designed. Most people prefer not to know the ending of a game before they have played it, and almost all gaming sites require members to act with tact regarding spoilers, as a matter of ettiquette. It's just nicer when we act considerately, don't you think?

Deleted User	Hi Melly! Yes, one really needs to experiment a little with the "control panel" appearing above when writing a post, to be able to figure out what every feature does. In any case, glad you joined the forum and Spoiler Alertyou're very welcome regarding the thread.
