"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 think linking them would be a good idea. :]

It'd be nice to have them linked, really. I had Persona 4 spoiled for me by a secret, and all.

I would be for linking. like done with some Torchwood spoilers :D

it seems like it would be an awful lot of work for the mods if they had to link them...with so many fandoms and so many definitions of spoilers...

If you can't handle the porn, get out of the kitchen.

But it says outside the cut 'secrets may contain spoilers'. That ought to be enough, right? It's worked until now.

I really don't see the point of so much internet hand-holding -- especially when YOU might not even know it's a spoiler if it's not a canon you're familiar with. That's neither your fault nor your problem.

There's a spoiler warning before every single post. If people can't deal with that risk, they should maybe stop reading.

WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT TORCHWOOD? SERIOUSLY IT SUCKS

It's not that people 'can't handle it,' it's that LJ can slap an 18+ rating on this comm for me posting stuff like that.

Maybe just increase the space between spoiler warning and secret?

Not any more work than labeling them SPOILERS FOR ____ already, don't worry

That guy. Clearly.

unrelated attacks FTW! LOL

Linking would surely take about a gazillion years! People's definitions of spoilers varies so much across fandoms the whole thing would most likely descend into chaos...

I failed at voting, but I kinda feel like...if you're not wanting spoilers, this is a bad place to be.

I like this idea.

Haha, thank you! ♥ I absolutely agree. :D

Uhm, only secrets that the secret poster labels as spoilers get a warning anyway so it's not really a question of knowing the canon.

Seconded. I remember comic fandom use to be "Comic comes out on Wednesday, stay off the internet on Thursday." and I've gotten chewed out for discussing the ending of animes that have been out for YEARS.

Nah, we're already over-warned for spoilers. Linking them is kind of dumb.

I'd offer a truce of grouping all the already spoiler-marked secrets together at the bottom, regardless of fandom - but that sounds like it'd be way more work than it's worth, so. -shrug-

Errr...this is about spoilers, not porn. Did you read the poll?

Linking would be fine, I guess, but if the warning comes first normally I can just scroll past it pretty fast.

...Then again, I get spoilered so much that I've gotten to where I don't mind it much. XD

ALL THE PORN'S IN THE KITCHEN? DAMMIT. Must be the frying bacon naked type of a deal. I can't believe I missed it. :[

You already warn that there might be spoilers and unsafe-for-work images...Most of us are big kids now, if you don't want to be spoiled, deal with it. I feel like EVERY secret could almost be considered a spoiler - "Well, what if I want to watch that show in the future? You're ruining it for me!" Half the secrets are going to end up being links, with so many different fandoms, it doesn't seem worth it.
