I don't know the origin of the tableware, so I'm not sure what forum section to put it on. Perhaps I should have made a YKKTW?

Anyway, the point it that it seems to be very common for spoilers to be over utilized, whiting out long stretches of text, entire entries, or even the trope. This is a bad thing, for all of the reasons detailed on the spoiler policy page.

Therefore, I propose the formation of a society to combat this plague of whiteness threatening to consume all of reality, known as Tropers Against Incredibly Long Spoilers, or TAILS. Any counter societies can pick another potential body part. The name or words therein can still change- I considered 'Tropers Against Overly Exuberant Spoilering', but that had to leave out the 'against'.

These kinds of things are generally named after foodstuff-related things.

Wow that was vague.

Yes, the aforementioned tableware, but they are all concerned with trope names/titles. NAPKINS does images, but with the same focus on how to best represent the trope, so it still works. This is on a completely different subject- the body if you will, not the head- so I figured it needed a new background construct.

Hm.

Okay.

I'm not sure if I can get behind this, though, IMO, long spoilers are better than hottips, which are hard to read.

What's wrong with Tropers Opposed to Exuberant Spoiling?

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

I was hoping for a HEADS backronym, myself.

Okay, I need to wake up more before posting, because I thought you were proposing TOES as the antithesis of TAILS, and now I see it's an alternate name.

Nothings wrong with that, it sounds like an excellent name. TOES it is.
