Please Please remember to..


Use the word SPOILER within your comments or on a Post. Until, or if, a shade is implemented a little courtesy would be nice. 🙄

I try to leave a big space between my spoiler warning and the actual spoiler. I have to make the thread longer than it needs to be but different people have different size monitors so it usually has to be a pretty big empty space.
Some kind of spoiler tag would be a great idea.

Is there a way to highlight the word, Popcorn Kernel? I learn something new everyday, such as when I started to reply to you and hit the wrong button and it took me back 2 pages. I didn't know that could be done with one button.

I don't think we can use any code except for href links to make them clickable.
No other html is currently enabled. (bold, italic, larger font, colored font, etc)

Alright, just wondered, since I'm old school I've overlooked some rather minor things that I guess come second nature for others.

I usually try to give some sort of spoiler warning when I do post spoilers, especially for current tv shows or new movies.

I've failed in the past, and needed the reminder for myself just as much. I'd read a comment under an older movie that I hadn't seen that didn't include a SPOILER warning, and thought "Well hell." It was my wake-up-call to do for others as I wish it were done in that comment.

Yeah, I'm careful about the posts I look at for older movies/shows. Definitely more at risk there for spoilers. 😬

Good one. 😂
For a second, briefly skimming your reply, I thought you meant the little facade in the prequel trilogy... Then I realized the dots stood for letters and there was an apostrophe. XD

Lol. I haven't actually seen Star Trek yet... Just snippets here and there. Sometimes when I was really young, my aunt and uncle would watch it and I would catch a few minutes before being scared away by the aliens. 😂
But I also watched a few Mythbuster episodes where they tried to separate science from fiction in Star Trek and other popular movies/shows. 😉

I will not visit anymore boards when I haven't seen it yet..gotcha, Dazed.😁(too bad there isn't a durr emoji, I'd need it often!)

You weren't being a dickhead, Dazed. 😀 👌🏽

I'm on the west coast so for big cliffhangers on popular shows (The Walking dead, Game of Thrones), I tend to stay off all social media in the 3 hours between showtime on the east coast and showtime on the west coast. Even trending topics at facebook can spoil things.

Oh, do I remember having to wait when I was in the Pacific Northwest ☹
