Hi Aluigi.
Again, here I am requesting the SPOILER feature for the forum. This feature is very important to keep forum discussions clean and objectives. Without this, is commom see things like this:
https://zenhax.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2969&start=80#p40299
Almost a entire page for a huge (and useless) information, the bigger are the topic, the greater are the chances of some important information get lost among so many posts and pages.
I am about to create a discussion where I will share a testing tool, and being a testing tool, I need to put as much information as possible, such as the tool purpose, how to use it, how to proceed with the tests and how to report the problems, besides showing some pictures proving the concept and functionality of the tool. Without the SPOILER feature, it will take up an entire page.
Anyway, thank you.

I don't remember.
I prefer vanilla.

After all if someone doesn't know how to post or how to quote, even "spoiler" is going to be totally useless.

The post you linked at the beginning is a classical example and in fact he didn't even try to use the spoiler tag.
The best of the best was an user who posted a whole binary file as text of his post some months ago... speechless.

Yeah, I remember that...
Some people will never learn how to post...
Anyway, thanks.
