OOO

The original/obvious/official uses of CWs were:

  • to warn about content some people find unpleasant, so they don't have to see it
  • to hide spoilers

Other uses include:

  • a title or subject-line
  • the setup to a joke (the punchline goes in the body)
  • the tagline for an in-joke -- examples include:
    • "in this house..." posts[1]
    • "it's been..." posts[1]
