Spoiler Tags for Posts

TL;DR: We’ve launched spoiler tags for posts. This allows spoilers to be clearly identified in any community on any platform.

Reddit is a great place to discuss the things you love. And right now the culture industry is working overtime to pump out oodles of the things you love. Whatever these passions, you can find a community on Reddit that is as excited about them as you are. That could be:

However, you might want to participate in a community where you aren’t up-to-date on the latest happenings. Enter spoiler tags (an oft-requested feature).

OP can now mark their post as a spoiler — this will add a tag to the post that clearly identifies it containing spoilers and pixilate the preview image if there is one. Other users can then decide whether or not they want to view the post.

Spoiler tags are supported on the desktop site, mobile web and the official iOS and Android apps:

To see what spoilers look like in a safe, spoiler-free environment, we’ve created some sample spoiler posts in r/powerlanguagetest for you to peruse.

If you want full details about how to mark a post as a spoiler, or if you are a mod wondering about the implications for your community check out the r/changelog post and the r/modnews post.

And finally, a big thank you to all the subreddits that helped us test this feature.

Note: This is spoiler support for posts not comments. We’ll be looking at adding spoiler support for comments in the future.
