Road Runner Posted April 9, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 9, 2022 I brought this up in today's Wordle thread, but things can get lost there, so I am reposting it here as a separate discussion. Here is my idea: Maybe it is time that the Wordle threads become "spoliers", in and of themselves. That is, we just assume that the thread is full of spoilers and we can talk and post freely about our thoughts and guesses. No more of that silly hidden content crap. Wordle players should simply do the daily Wordle before opening the associated daily Wordle thread. Yay! Would this be okay with everyone? @Square Wheels?

Ralphie ★ Posted April 9, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 9, 2022 Fine with me. I never open it until I am done, except in the very rare occasions when I am stumped. But I can eschew that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted April 9, 2022 We could post a temporary pinned topic stating the changed nature of the Wordle threads (as a warning to regular posters) and always use the "Spoiler" tag in the daily thread titles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted April 9, 2022 Share #8 Posted April 9, 2022 Do you want a new forum for these threads? A spoiler tag doesn't always work. The way I read posts is I go to unread topics, then click the next unread link at the bottom. There is no way to know I am venturing into a spoiler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spoiler tag doesn't always work. The way I read posts is I go to unread topics, then click the next unread link at the bottom. There is no way to know I am venturing into a spoiler. I don't think a new forum is a good idea. Then the Wordle threads would just disappear to most people. As long as no one here has a problem with just making the thread a spoiler, I see no reason not to do it and eliminate all the hidden posts, which truly suck. You say you wouldn't realize it was a spoiler, but I think you are the only one who looks at topics the way you do. Everyone else clicks on the topic before entering. So if you aren't doing Wordle anyway, what is the harm? But it is your forum. You are the boss. But it would be a lot more fun if we could just post away and not be constantly worried about spoilers.

I do not. I am very careful not to say anything at all about Wordle, other than praise for solving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted April 9, 2022 Share #13 Posted April 9, 2022 I added two tags, Wordle and WorLdle. Will those help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted April 10, 2022 Share #14 Posted April 10, 2022 The idea is fine with me. I also never enter the thread before doing the day's puzzle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted April 10, 2022 Share #15 Posted April 10, 2022 Fine with me. I do the puzzle before the thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
