[reddit change] Spoiler tags beta

Hey all, today we’ve launched a [much requested](https://www.reddit.com/r/ideasfortheadmins/search?q=spoiler&sort=new&restrict_sr=on](https://www.reddit.com/r/ideasfortheadmins/search?q=spoiler&sort=new&restrict_sr=on) feature to beta -- spoiler tags.

Spoiler tags allow users to tag posts that contain content that other folks may not want, well, [spoiled](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(media\)).

Here’s how it works:

• Mods and OP can tag posts as spoilers like this

• When a post is tagged as a spoiler:

  • It is labelled with a tag
  • Its thumbnail is replaced with an icon
  • Its preview (if available) is hidden and requires a click to reveal

• Media post spoilers look like this: gif | live example

• Text post spoilers look like this: screenshot | live example

Of note:

• The beta is just for desktop. We want to make sure things are working well before launching elsewhere. That said, we anticipate mobile support will follow along shortly.
• For now, this is just for posts. You cannot mark comments as spoilers.
