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.

ネクロマンシー(古傷掘り)のごめんなさい。ただ、現在ではこれがより実現可能または受け入れられるものになっているか、あるいは @sam が言及した拡張性が、カスタムフラグを実装できるような形に変更されたのか気になりました。

フラグの拡張性を空にしておけば可能性は無限大ですが、特にネタバレ(悪用される可能性はありますが、それはモデレータチームが管理・保護すべきことであり、あるいは既存の「評価/信頼」パーセンテージに基づいたより複雑なシステムを開発したいという意向がない限り)という特定のケースは非常に有効です。ゲーム、映画、シリーズ、あるいはネタバレになり得るあらゆるコンテンツを含むコミュニティであれば、このようなクイック非表示フラグの恩恵を受けるでしょう。

はい、投稿時にネタバレをタグ付けする方法は2つありますが、時には偶発的、あるいは意図的(これはまた別の問題です)な場合があり、モデレータが来るまで内容を隠しておくことは役立ちます。

繰り返しになりますが、ネクロのごめんなさい。この投稿が「そのアイデアを探している際に最も表示されやすい」比率が最も高いと思ったからです。
