For what its worth, I voted for spoiler tagging, and I know a majority of secrets. It just feels wrong. Hunting for them can be really fun. But never being able to use them for fear of change, or being extra cautious around chem to make sure other people don't just get the recipe can be very unfun. With spoilers it maintains the secret aspect for those of us that do want to hunt them for fun. But removes the fear of breaking a rule if you do share, or hint too much.
If the worry is people abusing them I would like to note most of the more deadly secrets not only have hidden recipes but for the most part are incredibly difficult to make, or mass produce. That makes it just as fair as any other round ender in my eyes, sayings its too deadly/powerful so make it secret isn't fair to anyone. A good engineer can make a gibbing PTL in the same time it takes me to make QGP or initro. A good mechanic can make a loafer trap or crusher trap in half the time it takes to make some of these chems. The balancing shows there. Deadly things take time. And should.
And just step up the self antaging with chem punishments. If you use a secret chem as a non-antag you accept full responsibility for all collateral damage or casualties and should be punished accordingly.
