I'm opposed to Cats's suggestion that we abolish the push-button drop-down display. In fact I got the admin at
AVSForum to implement a similar approach recently by showing him how things work here. I find it a much better solution than alternatives like changing the foreground/background colors of the spoiler text.
That said, perhaps there's a need for another tag, some type of "large content" tag, that could be used to hide graphics or long text blocks. I don't want to create any extra work for NightWish
, but I find myself using spoiler tags in those situations because I don't have any other alternative. I do try to identify these cases with relevant subjects like "for length" or "for image size" when asked to state the reason for the spoiler.
(I realize putting images in spoilers doesn't affect the payload size when the page is viewed. I use spoilers for images in places where a large graphic would interfere with the flow of discussion.)
