"Would it be possible for you to link to secrets marked as spoilers (like the way you do for porn secrets), instead of just labelling them as spoilers right above the image? By the time you see the label, you've already seen the image and then it's too late. :("

[Poll #1444305]

Suggested:
- increase space between spoiler warning and secret
- move all spoilery secrets to the end of the post
- make spoiler warning text more noticeable (big and red?)

I get the feeling that most of the people who are arguing against posting spoilery secrets as links aren't spoilerphobes. Clicking the link = not that hard. Trying to forget the spoiler you just read = impossible.

Yes, there is the note at the top saying 'some secrets may be spoilery'. But seriously, you think that spoilerphobes should just not read fandomsecrets? That's pretty lame.

And I wouldn't expect [livejournal.com profile] technophile to have to analyse every secret that is submitted to work out which ones have spoilers or not. If the secret poster marks it as a spoiler or if it's patently obvious that it's a spoiler, then it should be marked as such.

What about noting at the top of the page, before the cut, which secrets are spoilery and what fandom they're spoilers for? if I know in advance which number secret has a spoiler, it's easy to scroll past it. And it's not like there are that many spoilery secrets posted.

OH AND. I have nothing against people posting spoilery secrets for things which have already screened. If someone is spoiled by fs because they haven't seen the movie/show/etc yet, that's their problem. What bugs me is the spoilers for things which HAVEN'T screened yet.
