One person discovered the spoiler alert function, and then went crazy with it. And now this...this...this wanton, and delinguent use of it is spreading like wild fire throughout WP, threatening all discourse.

So I decided to provide an outlet for folks to get the spoiler alert function out of their system by ....encouraging them to use it responsibly.

You ask a trivia question. You hide the answer inside the spoiler alert.

Then person two quotes your question, and writes a possible answer but before reading your spoiler alert, and THEN person clicks the SA to see if they were right.

What does the "S" in Harry S. Truman stand for?

Doesnt stand for anything. His parents gave him the letter S as his middle name.
