Any thoughts on spoilers? What constitutes a significant enough spoiler that it should come with a warning, or when it not only deserves a warning, but should also be somewhat concealed in the post? For instance, giving a warning and then using a large space before you give away the spoiler... Or as many do, like this...
S
P
O
I
L
E
R
A

Personally, I like to use black font colour code for spoilers... For instance:
Spoiler Alert! Highlight between brackets [...] to view...
[ [color=black] Nigel Tufnel: "...there is something about this, that's, that's so black, it's like; 'How much more black could this be?' And the answer is: 'None, none... more black'" (qtd from [i]This is Spinal Tap[/i]) [/color] ]
Of course if there are many spoilers it's probably best to indicate that in the topic title.
Another question, should we generally try to stick to one method for citing sources? For instance, if we're quoting someone we can use the quote code, plus the author, and in many cases where the material was found online, I believe it's also best to provide a link to where the material was found. For my quote in this post I just used normal quotation marks and cited the movie and character.
