10$\begingroup$ @IanMacDonald According to meta, spoiler tags in answers are not required, and I prefer to not use them in my answers. $\endgroup$– DoorknobJul 30, 2015 at 13:48

8$\begingroup$ @MarkBannister IMHO, they're unnecessary clutter and only serve to make it more difficult for a user to navigate the site and actually view the posts. At the very least (again, this is simply my personal opinion), answers should still be... well, answers even if all the content inside of spoiler tags was removed. $\endgroup$– DoorknobJul 30, 2015 at 14:56

5$\begingroup$ @IanMacDonald I'm not speaking as a moderator but as a regular user here—I simply prefer not to use spoiler tags, and this is a personal style choice that I can choose to apply to my own answers. If this bothers you, you can install a userscript such as this one to hide the answers until you click a button. $\endgroup$– DoorknobJul 30, 2015 at 17:49

6$\begingroup$ If anyone wishes to reopen the discussion on when/whether spoiler tags are appropriate in answers, please do so on Puzzling Meta. The way to make your point is not by editing this answer, but is rather by opening a discussion and providing new opinions on Meta. $\endgroup$– user20Jul 30, 2015 at 19:46
