(\/ \/Lost Universe spoilers\/ \/)Canal, being a computer generated image, can change her appearance at will (thus warranting dual_persona). Somewhere around mid-series, it becomes evident that she belonged to the main character's mother and the two separate versions of herself apply to who she's with at the time. When with the main character, she's her "normal" self. When with old friends or (I think) in the Epic Super-Awesome Ending Sequence, she shifts into an older and much more fancy looking self.
I assume the post should be marked with the spoilers tag, but does that cover spoilers in the tags as well? I thought its purpose was to be blacklisted along with shows you haven't seen yet.
Just double-checked and blacklisting prevents posts from showing up in Posts and Comments, so there's really no way for anyone to see the tags on a blacklisted post unless they go looking for them.

It's for any image that contains spoilers, and considering the decision with Madoka Magica and Homura's past form, every post like the one you described should be tagged spoilers. Edit: unless the blue-haired version has been shown since the beginning of the series, and just the revelation about her past is the spoiler, in which case that post (and dual_persona in general) isn't really a spoiler. Honestly, the more times I read that spoiled passage, the more confused I get about the situation.
My personal view of it is that if there's a specific show you want to see but haven't, you should blacklist the entire show, but yeah. (I would rather enjoy a 'whitelist' feature that would allow me to blacklist 'spoilers', then whitelist shows I've seen, but that probably wouldn't be desirable for people who blacklist guro or loli or whatever.)
If a case of dual_persona is a spoiler, like when 2 characters are revealed to be the same person later on in the story (often in the mystery genre), they are regarded as 2 characters with 2 character tags and no dual_persona tag.
Since I am not familiar with the story, and even after reading your explanation, I can't tell how this information would decrease my enjoyment of the light novel/show.

Since I don't remember the plot very well myself, I don't remember if it would ruin the plotline for anyone, just that spoilerCanal is able to change her appearance at will and this "second version" of her is associated with the final portion of the series.[/spoiler]] Whether it has any actual impact, I don't remember. :(

Do I have a setting wrong? I sit on the Comments page as if it were my home page and when a blacklisted post shows up, the whole post listing is displayed including tags and comments, but the thumbnail is covered with a gray "Blacklisted" image. (You can even see the thumbnail if you're quick enough to look before the overlayed image loads, but someone's already put in a bug report for that IIRC) That's why I was curious about adding spoiler-ish tags. I would really rather they go away completely, if there's a checkbox or script snippit I'm missing.
Cue Faris Scherwiz being female and/or Faris and Lenna Charlotte Tycoon being sisters? The first is shown rather early, and is bascially common knowledge, especially given the amount of fanart, but the latter comes in around thirdway, and there is a tag for the concept.
Not the most critical of examples, but one I'm familiar with.
