I agree with the concept of keeping everything a secret unless the player wishes to know.. I get that part. But what I don't get is the typing in white is very visible....therefore very disclosed.
The cryptic is a great idea, however, there again, if one of the mod's deciphers it, just to help the poster out, then the secret is spoiled for that mod.
I will simply ask that anyone wishing to help me out, just PM me with the answer. Other than that, I will refrain from posting any help or comments so as not to spoil it for anyone.
For me at least, the white is not visible until I select and highlight it.
When I first came to the forums basically as a lurker, I came because I was having issues figuring out a puzzle area in one of the included mansions and found a post with a hint that helped me out. Now, if the hint had not been enough, I would have welcomed seeing that 1) someone else had experienced the same problem and 2) what the answer was to be able to solve it if it meant giving a spoiler.
IMO at least.
