I was in a gaming forum, and they have a [spoil] [/spoil] tag feature. Anything you put between the tags is blanked out until you hover over it for 2+ seconds, then it appears. Invisible otherwise. Would be cool to have this here for the odd discussion.

[spoiler] is a pretty common BBcode.

I didn't even realise some forums don't support spoiler tags... just assumed it was standard.

Well I am subscribed (actively) to about 30 of them, and have never seen it until today, which isn't to say they haven't existed, but I've never seen them mentioned nor used.

Funny you should mention this because I was looking for this feature on here today. In the end I gave up and just posted my spoiler! ;)
