I like this a lot. Its so hard to avoid spoilers in esports. This way, I can come to TL for the news and not miss out while I'm ducking spoilers.

While I don't really care about it, I can understand why others deem it important.
Honestly, I go to TL because I want to know which games I should watch. With dozens of matches going on, and my life getting more hectic, I really don't have time to sit down and watch these tournaments live. I just go to TL and read the polls to find out if I should watch a match/game on vod.

Good work. Been spoilered a few times here by the thread titles in the left bar. Kinda wish you could have spoilers on at all times though and not just for 24 hours.

But having TL is a perpetual state of spoilers limits how those browsing spoiler free can engage with content on the site. They never know exactly what is behind that spoiler even if its something from a week ago.

I can just feel TL admins' heightened anticipation for ASL2!

I was so happy to see this thread!
And the implementation is more comprehensive than before - thank you for all the care that went into this.
I personally think 48 hours is much more useful than 24, considering there are events happening around the world and it's sometimes hard to keep track of time zones.
Even better, I'd vastly prefer to have No Spoilers be permanent because then I'd start actually visiting TL before catching up on all my VODs. Like most readers, I look at the headlines of every featured news article, so if I knew I was caught up on VODs, I'd happily click the headlines that say [Spoilers] to see what they are. Right now this new feature doesn't change my behavior at all because I don't always know 100% that the event(s) I've missed happened in the last 24 hours. This is why permanent hiding is better for the majority users IMO.
Secondly, when someone checks "No Spoilers" they're going to expect, well, no spoilers, and will be confused why there are spoilers everywhere when some are blocked out. Users are going to think the site is broken unless they read this thread. Hope I'm making sense here....
Wouldn't be the worst thing to have both options as checkboxes:
No Spoilers [checkbox] 48hrs [checkbox]. (Checking the 48 hrs box automatically checks the first box as well). Heck, you already have the row carved out for it

Great, great stuff. Thanks!
I'm going to be using this

Awesome implementation, thank you for this!

I'm indifferent to the feature, but for debugging, it still seems to show under featured articles without any spoilerism with the button checked.

There shouldn't anything captured by the spoiler filter right now since there hasn't been any results within the last day.
