in the past I was able to use spoilers for long posts but I dont see the option anymore
If i want to edit old posts with spoilers it messes them up which is bad

is there a different way to use spoilers now or are they completely gone?

EDIT: been more then a week with no response what are the requirements to be a trusted user?

I have over 3000 posts and have been a user since 2016

search.php?author=mystoc&sr=posts

thanks

some of the tags are limited to trusted users.
User Control Panel > Usergroups > Select Trusted Users > Select "Join Selected" > Submit

You have to be a Trusted User to use spoilers now.

Ex: Spoiler: yolo

That's weird. It works when you preview your post.

Well you see, your post count above your flair needs to be over 150, I believe

all my posts are in role ideas, why is that area inferior to the rest of these fourms?

the the posts above the flair dont count role ideas for some reason this seems very unfair, role ideas is one the most places you need spoilers to organize a role idea

here is an example of one of my roles that really needs spoilers viewtopic.php?f=27&t=75923&p=2490869#p2490869

Long, long time ago, people are free to use spoilers,images, and some other codes

But one day, too many people decided to spam the forums with chains of spoilers that breaks the forum and unneccesarily large images that clutters the thread.

Ever since that, mods decided to lock the spoilers and img code to trusted users. In order to become trusted, you need at least 150 posts that counts in the counter below your forum name.

In order to prevent spamming to farm post counts, some places are not counted, like posts on forum games, arcades, and the lounge specifically doesn't count. Areas that includes the actual game discussions should count, but i'm not sure if role ideas doesn't count or why it doesn't count. If it is, it's probably for the aforementioned reason.

However, if you are considered an active person on the forums or have been here long enough to be considered an actual forumer and not a spammer, you can try asking a GMod for it. Lots of people who come here to play Forum Mafia does that, because posts on Forum Games like Mafia or Danganronpa doesn't count.

The forums have been moving rather slowly, though.

the spoiler forum-breaking trick was mostly limited to longue/arcade threads iirc and only like 4 people actually did it (including me)

Eh, i don't even remember anymore what caused it.

But apparently according to old posts i made on that 1 m thread, some jackass decided to spam gore shit on the forums.

Also, i'm sure when people found out about it, they all try to be funny and make threads on the lounge saying i break the forums etc. And all the replies are exactly the same.
We could never know anymore though; half of this forums was deleted.

The ancient archives are naught but dust now
The burning of the Library of Alexandria: most records of those posts have been deleted

Or have they ;)
