spoiler space
2014-04-26 11:54:15 -04:00
A screenful of blank or spacer lines deliberately inserted in a message
following a spoiler warning, so the actual spoiler can't be seen without
hitting a key. Formfeeds used to be used for this, but are now rare because
so many people read news through Web interfaces on which they have no good
interpretation.
