Leave the "I ship it/Hit it" secrets out of principle. There are plenty of pairings/people where this isn't much of a secret but there are some pairings/people where this is a reasonable secret. (Young Stalin was a fox but admitting that you'd hit it, is shameful to the extreme because it's Stalin.)

And because you can't really draw the line between people/ships that are secret-worthy and those who aren't you have to keep both in order to keep the secret-worthy ones.

The comm secrets generate lots of wank which bring the lulz. And lulz are always good.

This.
Allow all shipping secrets because discriminating among them is tricky and also way more work. And some are actually genuinely shameful/funny/entertaining/crazy.

I think it's pretty easy to see which secrets are just the barebones "I'd ship/hit it but LOL DONT TELL FRENDS" and those with more meat to them, since they usually go on for longer than two sentances.

It actually depends on the fandom and the pairing though. It's hard to tell if a pairing is controversial sometimes if you aren't familiar with their relationship or how the majority of fandom perceives them. Sometimes it's hard to tell if the characters are even in the same fandom to begin with.

Even the most barebones "I'd hit it/ship it" are way, way loaded depending on who they're talking about.

This. This so hard.

I agree! As long as the secret isn't ass-long, in a too-small or otherwise unreadable font, then any 'I'D HIT IT/I SHIP IT' secret can be a secret.
