Hey IMDb developers and R&D staff, ie Amazon?
Suggested enhancement request- Gently allow logged in users to flag a Post, Comment, Share, etc as Spoiler. There should be an icon link.. my City Library system offers this on ratings and reviews! They use bibliocommons.org. Cheerio.

It would be highly appreciated for any user here to have two options:
  1. To hide his own messages or their parts under a spoiler;
  2. To have a personal blacklist for other users whose activity (in all aspects) is very uncomfortable for him, so he could hide all their steps under spoilers automatically. It would be his own decision, not an outer intrusion.
IMHO, the 2 above steps is the only true way on this matter.

@ MA-the-PA killer idea your idea number 1 above.!!... a user posting on here .. the GetSatisfaction discussion zone... or anywhere in imdb itself eg trivia or wherever could use simple wiki-like tiny-html tags like "(spoiler)" type type type then "(/spoiler)" and the imdb webpage would cover the text with a thin grey rectangle that when clicked says, Reveal this, or, Reveal All On Page. Excellent thinking. Shall I suggest it to imdb? -Peter in San Diego CA USA. Ps. I can't remember what that tool set of dumbed down html was called in the 1990s for chatrooms, blog sites, discussion boards etc... Anyone remember?? eg MySpace and Xanga and maybe Friendster.
