| Apr 9, 2013 at 5:11 | comment | added | galacticninja | @LessPop_MoreFizz That's why I would like to see a policy about that. "Don't put your whole goddamned post in spoiler markup" is the opposite of what happened on all the answers here: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/110625/… and some other [bioshock-infinite] answers. I also had an answer that I purposely didn't spoiler markup in, but was then edited to have spoiler markup, despite the question asking for spoiler information. | |
| Apr 9, 2013 at 5:02 | comment | added | LessPop_MoreFizz | Use of spoiler markup is, fundamentally, a courtesy. There is no policy, other than "Don't put your whole goddamned post in spoiler markup", and I'd object to any attempt to codify something stronger than that. In general, as a rule of thumb, spoiler markup should be reserved for spoilers that may further elaborate upon or elucidate an answer, but which are not fundamental to the answer itself. An answer should be coherent without mousing over the spoiler text. | |
