No TV Spoilers please

With racing season beginning there is always the temptation to introduce a tread that gives away the results of a televised race. Let’s try to remember that some folks will be recording the race for later and we can do them a favor by not divulging what happened. (I’ve been know to put “Admin” on my block list during racing season)

I know this request is with good intentions, but seems little weird to me.

So how are the rest of us supposed to know when the gag order has been lifted (aka when did you finally get around to watching the race on your TiVo?)

Sorry but it comes across as wanting to inconvenience everyone else just for your own sake. If this was a requested between two friends, it would totally make sense, but on a public forum??? Lets not forget the fact that this thread will disappear before the season is over, so will someone keep it up or sticky it so that a personal request hangs at the top of the forum, more importantly than other topics?

I will try my best and remember to keep the lips zipped, but only if you make an effort to announce after each race when the coast is clear. Oh and dont forget to coordinate with everyone else who might not have gotten a chance to watch it even after you have..so there is a group clearance on race topics.

Kinda like posting the Owners Manual for the Cayman here.....before I got the chance to finish reading it. Totally spoiled the ending for me!

What about if we agree to post the title of the post with "Spoiler Allert" or something similar to that. That way one can choose not to open the post and problem solved.

We should follow the rule that other TV forums have implemented: once the live race has been televised everywhere, it's fair game. Usually the last place to receive live coverage in the USA is Hawaii.

Same thing goes for TV shows. After all, it's not fair for everyone who's seen the show to not be able to talk about it just because one person has recorded it and hasn't seen it yet. Coming to the forums to discuss stuff is entirely voluntary - nobody is forcing anyone to come here to see race/show results.

Actually, I live on HI, and since I usually receive most tv coverage last, I would like to see results asap.

filahebe has the best suggestion. Post all you want about the results but just not in the header of the message. That way we can ignore should we choose too but still enjoy this site. There are hundreds of sites dedicated to race series to post to by the way. It was a much discussed request last year when there were "Hamilton wins" instead of "spoiler - British GP" threads.

I think the op means do not put the results in the title. Just write spoiler and then discuss ad nauseum in the thread. It's not difficult to do.
edit: yeah what he said. ;-0
