Then what's the point if you know what's coming isn't a spoiler?

Because we don't know if a member is actually joking or posting a spoiler, so when we click the spoiler tag expecting it to be a joke we get a real spoiler, which fucks everything up.

However, if we had a separate tag for posting something funny, we know we are not going to get spoiled in any way. If we do, then that member can get a warning or ban for misusing that specific tag.

Don't click on a spoiler tag if you don't want to be spoiled.

but using spoiler tags for dramatic pause is already a part of this forum's humor so not a lot of people would be able to tell the difference given that no one will stop using them unless there's a new rule about PROPERLY USING the spoiler tag which would be stupid cuz someone's gonna get banned for that too

Not if only one of them would be named as spoiler tag. The other one could be named something else. I don't know, something.

Edit: It has already been said by Prince. :D

Something like this? :D
