 PLEASE read the entire post before you click on the links or respond.

So Iron Man 3 has come out everywhere now, so the spoiler tags, and the limited edition Iron Man 3 badges, will be disappearing on Monday (the 13th).

But on to the big news! The admin staff are proud to introduce you all to the Spoiler Screen. That little link there will take you to the Test Page we have set up to display this new feature for you all. It is the latest in cutting-edge spoiler protection technology.

The way this works is that all pages that have the Spoiler Screen Template, or that have the Spoilers Category, will require you to actively click a box stating that you are aware that there are spoilers on the page you are about to view. That way, spoilers can be listed for released issues and films, but users that have yet to read/see them/live in a country that hasn't had a release yet don't find out details they didn't want to know.

There are a few things we need to note about this feature.


 * 1) It uses cookies. You must have internet settings that allow you to accept cookies from our site.
 * 2) It's a one-time only feature. If you click yes to view a page with a Spoiler Screen, the cookie registers this with your computer, and you will not be given a spoiler warning about that specific page in the future.
 * 3) Misusing this feature is a ban-able offense. Pretty self-explanatory. If you go around adding this feature to pages that don't need it, or if you go around removing this feature from pages that genuinely need it, you will be punished with temporary blocks or bans, depending on how severely you've misused it.

We hope to test this out on blogs as well, with the hope that the Spoiler Screen will allow users to discuss recently released issues/media without ruining things for others. More info on that to come.

If you do try the test page linked above, and do not see the screen, you need to clear your cookies and refresh the page; if that doesn't work, clear your cache as well. If that doesn't work, let us know.

Also, it should work well with all major browsers. We've tested it with the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer 10; if you're a Mac user, we'd love some feedback on whether or not it works (and displays well) with Safari.

So, now that introductions are out of the way, we'd love to hear your honest opinions on the Spoiler Screen. Positives, negatives, whatever. And expect to see this feature in use with the next big release, be it a new movie, or an upcoming event.
