(8,646 posts)that are posting spoilers on purpose. What I took issue with was there was 1 thread last night politely asking to not post spoilers. Then this morning there was one thread with a spoiler that could have been a mistake, perhaps the poster didn't see the thread last night. Could've been an honest mistake, and then a bunch of people went totally bonkers over that spoiler. I thought the reaction was completely out of proportion and that if those people were really that invested in seeing the event from start to finish without any spoilers beforehand, then why are they online? There was one time I wanted to watch the Stanley Cup playoff game I dvr'd without spoilers and I didn't go online, I didn't turn on live TV, I didn't talk to anyone until I had watched the game. It was important to me, so I had a contingency plan to avoid spoilers. If I went on DU and saw someone had posted the winner of the game, I dont' think I'd have had a tantrum calling people assholes. But that's just me.
Perhaps there should be a sticky on top of all the boards posted by admin letting everyone know. Not everyone was aware Americans weren't getting these things live (I am here in Canada, didn't know NBC sucked so bad.)
