While posting and commenting in this community, you must abide by the Lemmy.World Terms of Service: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

  1. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or advocating violence will be removed.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. We ask that the users report any comment or post that violates the rules, and to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting.

Spoilers in discussion threads, yes or no, or another option... (self.marvelstudios)

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.

  1. Mark the whole thread as spoilers
  2. Make the thread spoiler free but use tags for any spoilers
  3. 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!

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

[–] canthidium 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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?

[–] Hurts 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] canthidium 1 points 1 year ago

This sounds like a plan to me

[–] DoctorTYVM 3 points 1 year ago

For sure. Until we get a better option to mark spoilers this can work

[–] thisisdee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] canthidium 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is a good workaround for now. I sent you a DM btw, when you get a chance.

[–] thisisdee 2 points 1 year ago

Responded. Sorry, the app I was using doesn't show DMs apparently
