If not, can I embed your required tags in a collapsible spoiler, and I'll just duplicate the information?

By the way, you
can
include the initial information in spoiler tags, so it doesn't take up valuable real estate in your opening post if you like. So, something like:
Code: Select all
[spoiler=Votecounter Settings]
[area=Living Players]
Bob
Carol (replaces Joe)
Sue (replaces Tom; Lisa)
Julio
[/area]

[area=Links]

...will look just like this...

There's no reason to believe that you can't do the same with votecounts if you want to pretty them up.

I use them all the time, especially for the more obscure bbcodes. The only one I type out myself is vote, unvote, and post.

I'm going to use this for my upcoming game, anything I should be aware of that isn't in the FAQ or here?
Also, how does this work?

It would require the user to configure prod times (if added), but I can see the positives as well, I suppose.

It's working well for me so far.

tl;dr if people nest their tags then problems happen.

Highly recommend that you put the settings spoiler at the top of the post and have formatting below it. That should stop all but the spoiler code being malformed from having any negative effects.

I personally use post #2 to put settings in and record confirmations
