Due to the non-spoiler agreement (or rule) the news about tournaments are always late and when they come they are lacking the energy -the longer it takes for the article to appear the less of that "energy" is present. Since appealing to get rid of non-spoiler policy would have no effect lets get around that policy....
So my suggestion for RiCH. Time to add some functionality to forum - the spoilers articles.
Technically it should be rather easy. There are only few items needed to be added to the database:
* isspoiler - basic 0 or 1 (to make backward compatibility it should be set to 0 for all old articles.
* sp_title - thats easy. Title to be displayed if spoilers are active.
* sp_image - mostly for news. To display a standard BW, SC2, GOM, NASL, MLG, IEM image selected from drop down menu
* sp_lifttime - not sure if its needed or not. It depends whats better for the server perfomance. To calculate the time on each page view or reading it from dbase. Standard 24h from post creation.
So lets get to the Add Article page:
![[image loading]](http://bodygen.ayz.pl/Add-TopicSP.jpg)
With spoiler image and topic shown after checking the spoiler box.
Of course there should be also added to the user panel a option if the users wants to
be see spoiled topics or not.
So now how would it work (few cases)
1) user isn't logged
showing standard spoiled topics.
When user is browsing the forum. The page would check if the topic is marked as spoiler and check sp_liftime if:
a) lift_time is still valid it would display spoiler topic and when clicking on the link the user would get a pop up window that he is going to enter a non-spoiled article.
b)if the time in invalid it would just display unspoiled article
2) user is logged:
it checks if user have enabled or disabled the spoiler topics.
If enabled look at points 1a and 1b
if disabled just show him the normal topic - without spoilers
Implementation of this idea should be rather easy for RiCH.
What other users of TL think about this idea?
