As if the mods would let people run amuck with this when we don't with any other tag. Spoilers can be abused and have been punished for it, so obsessing over all the ways people could abuse this is absurd.
What is this going to be used for? Not the Hide-vote tag, the Hide-Reply tag. Can you think of any possible reason this should exist that cannot be done just as effectively without it?
Why would anyone want to hide information from someone who has yet to reply to the thread? What is a possible use of this that both contributes to a thread and does not count as abuse?
