Spoilers ... (Again)

[sunny-dave]

Wimbledon starts tomorrow ... and there are many other major sporting events on the horizon (including the final Lions test in NZ) - so a polite request on behalf of all people who can't watch matches 'live' ...

Can I remind posters that the outgoing AB_ED agreed with several posts from LiK and others (including me) that it is polite for posters to avoid revealing the result of a major sporting contest (or even the result or plot of a TV show) in the title or first post of a thread. Such posts are thoughtless and antisocial and risk deletion if the Ed or a Mod thinks they are unhelpful.

It's not exactly rocket science to have a title that says, for example, "Murray Match" with an OP that simply says "Spoiler Alert".

Then you reply to your own thread with "Andy still Scottish after he tanks again" or "Andy the Brit rides on" as appropriate.

I know that there are differing views on this, but it has been endorsed as current practice under the "politeness to other members" site rule.

Cheers and Pass the Pimms
