Just found another site thingie. I got promoted to advanced user, possibly due to my rugged good looks.  
That triggered a custom post from the site (discbot). I expect only I saw this.  
The post turned into a tutorial thread. The bot posted instructions, I responded by following the instructions, and it interactively took me through a bunch of site features.

Turns out we have a spoiler feature.

details="Spoiler Text"

This text will be hidden

/details

e.g.

> **Spoiler Text**
>
> This text will be hidden

So just figured out that you can create a spoiler by clicking on the gear at the top right of the reply box and selecting “Hide Details”. It certainly beats coming back to this thread and copying the text.
