It's just annoying.

And before someone posts a useless comment within a spoiler tag because they think it's clever - don't.

Should you really be one to comment on what's annoying with an avatar like that?

Why do people post threads with stupid questions that don't deserve their own individual threads while we have a thread for stupid questions that don't deserve their own individual threads.

Spoiler

[ChocolateCupcakes]

No idea. Never got annoyed with it though.

 

[devenger]

I think this one is easy, because people complain when you don't.

Posted about Let Me In today, I hadn't spoilered any of it. Didn't really give anything away. Then I reconsidered, slapped em on there, just in case.

I haven't highlighted a single spoiler in this thread.

And I won't read any spoilered comments in response to this post.

It's a way of performing an "aside" joke on the internet.

how bout an "unspoilered" one

 

[Escape Goat]

how bout an "unspoilered" one

Okay, I will read unspoilered spoilers.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

'cause they are fun and require like zero effort to highlight them?

 

[apocalidiot]

[Neuromancer]

I've stopped looking at spoil tagged comments altogether, unless they're actually being used correctly. It takes effort and there is almost never a decent payoff.

Maybe he broses on an iPhone?

 

[Undubbed]

Seems to sometimes be used as an equivalent to parenthesis sometimes

Spoiler

in my experience at least

Also seems to be used for tongue in cheek comments.

 

[thefro]

It's pretty annoying because I end up really getting spoiled when I think I'm just uncovering a non-spoiler comment.

No, I don't mean real spoiler-type stuff. I mean random comments that aren't spoilers of anything.

Spoiler

like this

or maybe

Spoiler

this.

And the black bar jpg was already posted but the poster edited it out.

Sno_nuff82 - I understand that it can sometimes be used as a joke, but often it's just meaningless.

Spoiler

I like turkey.

The problem is that as people keep using spoiler tags for dumb shit, people will come to ignore the spoilers and will just highlight everything, thus pretty much defeating the purpose of a spoiler tag.

 

[KevinCow]

What, you mean you don't like having to highlight shit to read it? Next thing you know you'll say you hate when you highlight one thinking it's a joke, only to accidentally spoil something. What kind of crazy person are you?

 

[commish]

Yeah, I surf a lot on my ipad, and it's pretty annoying.

 

[spiderman123]

HA!

Exactly.

Also, I heard one time a mod got irritated and starting undoing people's spoiler tags just to show them how dumb their posts were without them. I don't know who that mod was but I salute him/her.

 

[diunxx]

It's just something stupid people like to do.

Just like posting their name at the end of their posts.
