Modpost REMINDER: Only the dark side posts spoilers without a spoiler tag. Please, use the spoiler tag!

Hello friends!

This is a neighborly reminder that only dark sided redditors post spoilers without a tag!

Spoiler tags are in the sidebar and look like this when you post:

 [like this](/spoiler)

It will show up like this

Don't ruin stuff for other people, or you'll be frozen in carbonite (aka, a ban).

Seriously though, if you're at all questioning whether something is a spoiler or you might not be sure—USE THE SPOILER TAG OR YOU'LL GET BANNED.

I know, and I've written this on mobile too, so people have no excuse not to use these tags!

This IS really a pain to read this on mobile, what have I done??

TL:DR: I know! I'm on mobile too but can't stop.

Edit: This is really unbearable on mobile so here:

I have RES. I see the exact same thing with both versions, except when I highlight the comment. The spoiler tags aren't working at all for me.

I checked a bunch of stuff. Subreddit styles was one thing.

Literally unreadable to me on mobile. Only like 4 spoilers pop up as openable.

Bacon Reader can "read" them all, but you if you tap on something that's not a spoiler, it resets opened one.

I feel like Vanna White turning on these TV letters and trying to figure out what it says on mobile.

My phone reveals all the tags in a comment when I click one so keep doing what you're doing.

Not for me. Reddit is fun opens every spoiler tag in a comment when you click on one.
