I tried it (the BBCode spoiler tag) on another post and could NOT get it to work at all.
Which is kind of lame to post a spoiler, go to the trouble of marking it as a spoiler and then having it be RIGHT OUT THERE.


[spoiler]this does NOT work[/spoiler]

Yes it does.
Show Spoiler
If you use the right tags.

It's "spoil", not "spoiler", I guess.

The spoilers tags are spoil, rather than spoiler.

[] spoil

[] /spoil

Show Spoiler
This is a spoiler


Edit : I see people have beaten me to it whilst I was posting.

The tag can be implemented different ways on different sites too. I've seen spoil and spoiler both used and I'm pretty sure I've seen s which would mean another tag had to be used for strike-thru text.
