[Suggestion] Traditional forum style spoiler option

Blue

I was wondering if spoilers like these (BBCode)
could be added along-side the spoilers added today.

I understand that the spoilers added are much better for casual conversation while the latter being moreso orientated for forums, but I think adding them in addition would help a lot with channel organization.

For example;
I have a channel here with information of multiple section, and if longer ones such as the last one was a click name to expand kind of thing it'd be less cluttered. Similar thing for here.

I can also understand if my use case is of the minority and if it's not really worth adding, just wondering on opinions.

    Good idea. I've used these drop-down spoilers a lot myself on different forums. It's a great way of organizing things and saving space, as well as giving users the opportunity to expand on an item containing a large body of text instead of forcing it upon them.

     

    Here's a potential syntax:

    ||| {Title: This is visible at all times; this content shouldn't be too large.}

    {Content/body: This is where the content of the spoiler will be written.

    You may have multiple lines in your spoiler/drop-down}

    |||

     

    The title of the spoiler is written on the same line as the initial "|||", and should only contain a small body of text. However, it may be as long as you want. You can start writing your content by pressing (Enter) to create a new line. The content may be as long as you want. To conclude the spoiler, add "|||" to the end of your content.

     

    Edit: Also, this thread is more suited for the "Chat" section of this forum.

    I agree. For now until it gets implemented (if it does), you can use code syntax (a ` before and after the affected phrase) to make a style visually similar to how Reddit handles spoilers. `Name Spoiler`||Cupid|| has a similar visual effect to what [Name Spoiler](#s "Cupid') would have on Reddit, of course there being a difference in the fact you have to click/tap the spoiler on Discord and the code part doesn't interact with the spoiler.

    I was just looking for this exact feature. Blacking out text is nice, but the drop down would be much more useful for larger amounts of text.

    Well this could be a welcome feature for most of the forums. Also it look simple and still is functional. I believe you should actually implement it as soon as possible. Could be fun to see it rolling out and also a bit of added nostalgia.
