called a parenthesis

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLICK IT AND AREN'T AFRAID TO BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK IT IS A SPOILER

If it's a spoiler I actually say so (including where/what it's spoiling). I get wordy and if I just put everything within parenthesis then my posts (or sentences) would be bloated to all hell.

Sorry my use of spoiler tags frightens you to read my posts.

~~~
[spoiler]Hey, it's why I used it. The movie is like ... nearly 70 years old by now. There's a statute of limitations for this shit.[/spoiler]

Anyway, I mark my spoilers with a blurb right above it (like, sitting on the spoiler box) of what is inside. If it's just sitting there, it's probably not a spoiler and just me tagging something.

Honestly, you know... READ WHAT THE BOX SAYS:

"Click here to see the hidden message (It might contain spoilers)"

.... It doesn't say it is ONLY a spoiler tag. Just says it MIGHT contain spoilers. So whatever you guys use it for is up to you. Scy is perfectly fine. And I've never had a problem with it. ^_^; I've never even paid attention.

I also use it because it makes me feel better about myself.

[spoiler]Sexually.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I also realize the irony of my last post here when I merely marked it with ~~~ ... but hey, saying what was IN the box would spoil the fun![/spoiler]

[spoiler]TRIPLE THREAT OH GOD.[/spoiler]

Edit: I'm used to GAF and other forums where [ spoiler ] is a "highlight to see" kind of thing so a lot of snide/sardonic comments are there (or smileys). Those I'm used to using instead of parenthesis for little "oh and this" things. Possibly.

Who knows, cares, etc. it's like early and...I dunno.

Maybe you/Archaic could create a copy of the spoiler tag that instead of "might be spoiling" says something like "as an aside.." or "by the way.."?

This isn't a script we wrote, though. It's just a quick add-on we snagged off the official site. And I don't see the point to doing so if - particularly when people should clearly mark their spoils anyway.

<_< I wouldn't even know where to start and Archaic so mega busy right now.

*shivers* I forgot how delicious these books are:

(not actual spoiler; is from page 14)
[spoiler]
I wanted to hit him again, harder, to backhand him and let my rings tear fierce gouges in his alabaster skin. I wanted to hurt him, as I had been hurt. I wanted to show him "how they do it in Pharaohlight," to beat him bloody and drag him down on the floor and rape him. I wanted to show him what I had protected him from, all the five years that we had been lovers, the blackness, the rage that festered in me like power.
