Spoilers in discussion threads, yes or no, or another option...
Hey guys, I've been making the discussion threads for Secret Invasion. I plan to do this for every series coming up as well as the movies as they premier. There was some discussion about spoilers in the most recent thread and I wanted to see what you guys think.
It seems on desktop spoiler tags work fine and hide the content but on Voyager/WefWef as well as many of the 3rd party apps they don't work so I wanted to see what you guys think we should do. Currently I have just marked the whole thread as Spoilers since most everyone seems to be joining in after watching. But some have mentioned having it be spoiler free.
I have 3 options I'm thinking of.
- Mark the whole thread as spoilers
- Make the thread spoiler free but use tags for any spoilers
- Make 2 separate threads, one for spoilers (Post watch discussion) and one spoiler free (pre watch/speculation)
What do you guys think? And thanks so much for taking part in the discussion! It's one of the main reasons I became a mod here because I love to read everyone's impressions. I'm a couple episodes behind but I'll join in more once I get caught up.
EDIT: Ok seems like most everyone feels like discussion threads are expected to have spoilers. But to appease those that disagree, I think starting next week I will start making two threads. Hopefully that will encourage more engagement as well. Thanks everyone!
You're viewing a single thread.
I guess this is more of a side question, for threads like this one https://lemmy.world/post/1305917 I was wondering if maybe we should mark it NSFW (since we don't currently have a mark as spoiler checkbox) so that apps can blur it or hide it depending on user settings? I personally prefer avoiding any on-set pictures but the thumbnail of that post just showed the pic
I think this is a good idea and hopefully the Lemmy devs will add a mark as spoiler function soon. Unfortunately at this point it's up to the OP to mark as NSFW. It doesn't look like I have the ability to mark it after it's posted so my only option is to remove the post. We could add it in the rules, but I feel like most of the time people will forget and it will just lead to a lot of removed posts and people being upset that their posts got removed. @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], any thoughts?
Yeah, I agree, request OP mark it NSFW just to block the thumbnail and if they don't comply within a reasonable time frame remove the post if it contains spoilers in the thumbnail image
This sounds like a plan to me
For sure. Until we get a better option to mark spoilers this can work
I think rather than removing right away, we can ask OP to mark it NSFW, and if not updated within a certain amount of time we can consider removing the post
That is a good workaround for now. I sent you a DM btw, when you get a chance.
Responded. Sorry, the app I was using doesn't show DMs apparently
