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.

抱歉挖坟，我只是想知道，这种情况如今是否更可行或可接受？或者 @sam 提到的可扩展性是否发生了变化，使得我们可以实现自定义标志？

如果标志具有空白可扩展性，那么可能性是无限的。但就“剧透”这一具体案例而言（尽管存在滥用风险，不过这是版主团队需要执行或防范的问题，除非我们想基于现有的“声望/信任”百分比开发更复杂的系统），其合理性非常充分。任何涉及游戏、电影、剧集或任何可能被剧透内容的社区，都会受益于这种快速隐藏标志。

是的，我们在撰写内容时确实有两种不同的剧透标记方式，但有时是意外，有时则并非如此（这完全是另一个复杂的问题），而在版主介入之前隐藏相关内容确实有所帮助。

再次为挖坟致歉，只是觉得这篇帖子在“搜索相关想法时最可能显示”的比率上表现最佳。
