can i just ask why is it necessary for us to put links that contain material and words blocked on the forum (e.g. links to youtube videos with swearing etc) inside spoiler tags?
i just don't see the point? surely putting a clear warning in red and bold or whatever to say it contains swearing is enough?
i'm sure i must just be stupid and missing something because it doesn't make sense at all to me...

Spoilers for innapropriate content?

Do YouTube pictures show a "preview" image on a video the moment it loads (but doesn't play) on the forum? I think that might be the reason because some preview pictures could show something inappropriate

yeah i see that, but it's even if you just post just a link to the video you're told to put it in a spoiler also

I suppose it just looks neater and if a video is in the open younger members would be more inclined to click play.

Hmm, when posting a link is a bit dodgy. In a way, posting a link makes it more difficult than pushing the spoiler button (you only use one click, while clicking a spoiler to watch a video takes two clicks, one to open and one to play) Originally Posted by Haaaaarry

a video is larger than the warning (unless you put it in obscenely large text) therefore the first thing that your eyes go to is the video, whereas if it's in a spoiler the red text is more visible. Yeah it's quite petty & lame but it makes sense

It kinda makes sense. Afterall, the Debates and Current Affairs forum is proof in a way -people will literally post their view before reading the sources or articles of news. It's only natural Originally Posted by Hecktix

Well, it's in the rule as one as it makes sense to group it altogether I guess, it's not as much of a major issue - no. Not something I'd penalise for if there was a warning and no spoiler Originally Posted by Haaaaarry
