"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 honestly don't really care all that much, since I keep up to date with the shows I watch that are current. And for the ones I don't currently watch or dead shows that I might want to watch some time in the future, I usually just think that if I go online to sites where TV shows will be discussed, it's my own choice, and I've learned to accept that this means I might get spoiled.

That being said, I kinda get the OP's point, because the warning above the image is sort of pointless, since your eyes will often take in the whole thing at once. So removing them and just sticking to the general spoiler warning would probably work just as well/badly... And as for putting all the spoiler-marked secrets at the bottom, spoilerphobes would still have to scroll past them to get to the comments. An alternative solution that might work better (at least with the spoiler-marked secrets, but I have a feeling people will get spoiled either way because not all spoilery secrets are marked as spoilers) is to make two cuts. One first for the spoilery secrets and then one more below that for the non-spoilery ones. That way, the cut to the non-spoilery ones would mean that you wouldn't have to scroll through the spoilery ones to get to the comments.
