Spoiler Tagging Titles

[Orbweaver]

With the number of people currently posting spoiler-ish titles in the Spoilers section (which can be seen from the front screen), I was wondering if it would be possible for us to simply spoiler-tag the title itself? That way spoiler tags would not be necessary inside the entirety of the thread itself, save when a different spoiler than the tagged title is being discussed. Might save some aggravation for those readers who aren't looking to be spoiled inadvertently.

Titles cannot be spoiler-tagged.  People need to be more cognizant and respectful about the fact their subject lines can be seen on the main board.

And if a topic concerns GS spoilers ONLY, stick [GS SPOILERS] at the beginning of the subject line.  That way, folks don't need to use the tab ANYWHERE in the thread itself.  Everyone wins!

The issue is that a lot of folks are placing the book spoiler at the end of the subject line instead of at the first part. I thought that if the subject title could be spoilered, there'd be a lot less risk of people accidentally seeing something they shouldn't.

So there's no way to set it up that the titles could be spoiler tagged? Bummer.

I haven't found any code that works in titles.  The correct action is to report posts with spoilers in the subject line to protect the eyes of the uninitiated.

Bingo!

Yes, and I've done that, but it is true that sometimes the harm is done before the report. Besides, there is an extra risk with GS, some people knows more than the 3 chapters oficially released.

All I can say is THANK GOD you can't post pictures as titles...

I doubt people who, though lack of consideration or lack of knowledge of our site policies, post spoilers in the subject lines would use the spoiler censor bar in the subject line.  It's just as easy to include [GS SPOILERS] and a discreet title.  This is purely a human problem, not something tech will solve.  We need a human solution: education of the site policies and vigilance among the fans, so any slip-ups can be reported to the mods and fixed before anyone else is spoiled.
