@WEBHEAD🕸️ I've noticed a couple of people complaining that their Spoiler/Youtube/Link tags are missing - It's usually their adblock addon.
Have you tried disabling them to see if it's one of those?

I see a lot of users don't understand how spoiler tag works. You must put spoiler text between tags.
[spo iler] text here [/spo iler] (added spaces to disable spoiler tag parsing)
It will produce
[SPOILER]
@Dr.Evil Thanks for posting this thread. Hopefully members will utilize this feature instead of posting spoilers because there has been a lot of spoilers lately. Many from the same members which I had to block. Even the smallest spoiler can ruin a film/series for someone.

@Dr.Evil Good call. Maybe even a new top-ten spot on FAQ?
@Dr.Evil Do people blame the author of a book if they skip ahead in the book?
Therefore, if you skip ahead in episodes, people may chat about so and so from episode 5 on episode 8, but someone who's not seen any of the series reads it, and is that a spoiler?
Or is it that they skipped ahead where they shouldn't be looking?
It's a wee bit subjective in series with multiple seasons and episodes.
@ Agreed! Some people like to complain about this sort of thing, and a very long list of other things and people. If I think there is a potential spoiler in a comment, I will ignore it and move on.
I guess they think being a "squeaky wheel" will get them more notoriety and attention?
@𝓜𝓸𝓾𝓼𝓮*🐭 You're guess is as good as mine. lol
I've given up trying to play the game, because it has no rules.
I have always used the spoiler brackets, but in series, if a person reads ahead, it's at their own risk.
Obviously, I wouldn't give anything away in a current episode, but 3 or 4 episodes on + it's fair game.
It's like reading ahead in a book to me; the reader assumes responsibility for reading ahead.
