SourBelly 5 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 03-05-08, 06:53 PM (EST) "Please Don't Post Spoilers in the Subject Lines!!!" Us neighbours up north here in Canada are a few weeks behind the US feed, and I don't know about everyone else, but I want to be a bit surprised for the final episodes. I happened across the board today to read through the older messages, but got a nice shock that a spoiler was posted in the subject line. Just as bad as watching Ellen over the weekend, and had the same thing happen, but this just solidified it. Thanks!!!   Top

LAST EDITED ON 03-06-08 AT 09:24 AM (EST) SO SORRY!!! I live on the west coast, and get all the info last, too, so I understand your frustration. Although MINE is only a few HOURS away! I promise that will NOT happen again!! I wasn't even thinking!!! BUT, I do have to say, a few hours is much different than a FEW WEEKS! There is no way you can expect us to wait WEEKS to post something for your benefit! For that matter, after a few DAYS, the finale, or the show's progress is already history, and can be seen on the website, or even on the blog that appears to the left of this website. So, yes, I will try to be more careful about posting spoilers in the subject line, but I think you need to be more considerate about what is a reasonable amount of time for us to consider what has gone on. Sorry....   Top

LAST EDITED ON 03-06-08 AT 09:53 AM (EST) From our guidelines: For those shows without a dedicated spoilers forum, we ask that you clearly indicate in the subject line of your post that the topic contains spoiler information and ensure that no spoiler content is revealed within the first 200 characters of your message body (since this text may also appear on the forum's topic listing page.) There's already been plenty of debate on these forums whether or not broadcast should be defined as just the East Coast of the US, or whether or not information is considered a spoiler if the show has aired on one coast but not another. The thing about subject lines? Some people forget that the subject line is supposed to be an introduction to the message, and put everything in the subject line instead of writing a message worth posting. Keeping the subject line general encourages discussion and makes it less likely that there are going to be any issues with giving away spoiler information. And while it would be nice for everyone around the world to be surprised by the outcome of a show, you have to realize that going online when the show has already aired in one part of the world puts you at risk of getting the results early, especially when you go to a site that is discussing the show in depth. ETA: Since this was already brought up in the following thread, I'm locking this as a duplicate. http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID94/144.shtml   Top
