If you want to post an image but you think it is too risqué to be embedded in your post, just link it and include a little note of some kind that it's not worksafe. You can type the letters "NWS" or use :nws: or even just say "warning naked butthole" or something. Spoiler tags are never the right option though, please either link it or just use [img] tags.

This applies to all forums, not just GBS. Thank you goons.

heh I didn't see that. I remember I had an angry-sounding sticky about it some time early last year, and it must have been when that happened. Anyway I'm not planning on punishing anyone for this, we've just noticed the habit creeping back in here and there, so nbd but I figured a polite sticky announcement for a couple days might help.

Get rid of the spoiler tags all together. 90% of the time they're used for dumb little zingers anyway.

yeah I don't think there are many compelling use cases for them (even including actual "spoilers" but that's a whole other topic). I think some posters just like them because they're a way to make the post interactive. Occasionally I also see them used I guess to try to "time" punchlines, but that can never work, it gives the reader total control of the timing instead.

spoiler tags that are used for anything that isn't an actual spoiler from a game/movie/tv show/whatever should be at least a probation

i agree w/ myself on this issue, because it's like a cry wolf situation since you never know wtf you're clicking which defeats the purpose of spoiler tags

am i clicking on some lovely nerd's dumb joke or an actual spoiler
