Proposing a new "Spoiler" category of Flag

Spoilers are a huge deal. Especially for communities of fans who gather to celebrate certain works, and do not want these stories to be ruined for themselves or for others by spoilers.

Spoiler tags help to control problems that are caused by spoilers, but they are not always used correctly. Whether it be someone who didn’t read the forum rules and guidelines, or didn’t realise something was a spoiler, or simply just forgot, sometimes spoilers are left untagged.

I am proposing a new “Spoiler” category of flag with new function to help further control the problem of spoilers. This new flag would immediately hide a post when it is flagged by any member, not just a moderator. This way the spoiler would be hidden from view as soon as possible, and would been seen by as few people as possible.

This would be an enormous abuse vector. That said we talked about allowing flag customization but have not slotted it to any release quite yet.

You’re not wrong, but I feel like this comes down to an admin’s discretion of how they want to run their forum. An ideal method would be that use of the flag immediately notifies the moderators, so action can be taken against either the spoil-er or the flagger. You could also keep the feature available only to members of a certain trust level. Flag customization would be very helpful here, as I’m sure it’s not something all forums would appreciate having.

Alternatively, could this be something a plugin could address?

Not easily, customising flags via a plugin is going to be tough. There are not many extensibility point.

My off-the-cuff estimate for building an extensible flag system would be about 1-2 weeks of work for an experienced Discourse dev.

Nonetheless, I hope it’s a feature that will be seriously considered for development in the future.

Perdón por la necromancia, pero solo me pregunto si esto sería más viable o aceptable hoy en día, o si la extensibilidad a la que se refería @sam ha cambiado de tal manera que ahora se podrían implementar banderas personalizadas.

Con una extensibilidad en blanco para las banderas, las posibilidades son infinitas, pero el caso específico de los spoilers (aunque sean susceptibles de abuso, aunque eso es algo que el equipo de moderación debe hacer cumplir y proteger, a menos que queramos desarrollar un sistema más complejo basado en el porcentaje de “Reputación/Confianza” que existe hoy) es muy válido, ya que cualquier comunidad con juegos, películas, series o cualquier contenido que pueda ser spoilado se beneficiaría de este tipo de bandera de ocultación rápida.

Y sí, tenemos dos formas diferentes de etiquetar spoilers al escribir, pero a veces es accidental o no tan accidental (lo cual es un tema completamente diferente) y ocultar el contenido hasta que un moderador lo revise ayuda.

Una vez más, perdón por la necro, pero pensé que este post tenía la mejor relación de “probabilidad de aparecer al buscar esa idea”.
