Processing content spoilers

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

• receive activity data describing an activity performed by a first user;
• determine a first progress stage for a subject associated with the activity based at least in part on the activity data;
• receive content data published by a second user;
• determine whether the content data includes a spoiler for the first user based at least in part on the first progress stage;
• responsive to determining that the content data includes the spoiler, obscure the content data published by the second user from the first user;
• generate a spoiler warning indicating that the obscured content data includes the spoiler;
• and
• provide the spoiler warning to the first user.

A system comprising:

• a controller stored on a memory and executable by one or more processors, the controller configured to receive activity data describing an activity performed by a first user and content data published by a second user;
• a progress module stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors, the progress module communicatively coupled to the controller and configured to determine a first progress stage for a subject associated with the activity based at least in part on the activity data;
• a determination module stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors, the determination module communicatively coupled to the progress module and the controller, the determination module configured to determine whether the content data includes a spoiler for the first user based at least in part on the first progress stage;
• a warning module stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors, the warning module communicatively coupled to the determination module, responsive to the determination that the content data includes the spoiler the warning module configured to obscure the content data published by the second user from the first user and generate a spoiler warning indicating that the obscured content data includes the spoiler;
• and
• a presentation module stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors, the presentation module communicatively coupled to the warning module and the progress module, the presentation module configured to provide the spoiler warning to the first user.
