Why can't some just take a bit of personal responsibility and avoid cycling forums if they don't want to know the results of races.

I know some of the above are tongue in cheek, but MSP has nailed it for anyone being serious.

Why can't some not put massive spoilers in the thread titles? Doesnt give anyone a change to avoid it does it?

People who complain about finding out the results of an event whilst furltling about on the internet are nobbers. Go live in a cave if you can't handle to possibility of finding out the result, esp if it's just been on live free to view tv.

Big up to Cav, but shouldn't we be saying

Go Tiernan-Locke, I appreciate it's not quite as catchy. He was on the cycling show and said he was going for it, but didn't seem that convincing.

Brit winners of the sprint and KOM as well. We have never had it so good!

So folk have to avoid cycling forums if they want to watch the event in question in the evening after whatever they've been doing during the day?

Where the practice of entitling a thread "event _____, spoiler alert" is well established?

Just so someone can be lazy/inconsiderate?

Edit the thread title then.

Yes, it's rather obvious and simple really, a cycling forum is a place where things about cycling are discussed, if you don't want to see some of those discussions for whatever reason, then avoid the forum.

MSP, it's easy to be considerate to others, why not try it?

Of course the first port of call for the OP is to have a little think before posting, and pop a spoiler tag on. Failing that though, one cannot be surprised to find out the results on a cycling forum.

For example, if I am going to watch Match Of The Day, I will stay away from news/footie sites. Just seems common sense.

It would be more considerate if you didn't expect everyone else to avoid the subject until you let us know we could go ahead and discuss it.

I'm just asking...and I'm not asking you to avoid any discussion, just not to let the cat out of the bag in doing so. It's not difficult.

It's accepted practice to not entitle threads with spoilers during the day/evening, so folk can browse the forum without getting their evening's viewing spoiled.

I think the majority here are with me rather than you, but if it's too much for you just to think about the title of your thread for the sake of others (which doesn't affect your ability to discuss a result at all), go you.

Where as those who post the result in a thread title are what?
Those who stay stuff like you are what?

Go live in a cave

yes it would seem to be the only possible solution to this quandary

no one minds the discussion just being told the result in the title
It is hardly difficult to achieve a result that satisfies both parties now is it?
Jamie I tend to agree but the spoilers"rule" is well know to be used here for F1 and racing amongst other sports

and yet still capable of redemption unlike you ๐Ÿ˜‰

It really says something about you and your character to just spoil it for some other folk when you could discuss it without doing so- basically its like a signed confession to being a ****er

I think they make great threads as it leads to lots of self outing

but why the need for "spoiler" on the end of a thread entitled "tour of britain" on the day of the final stage ? Any half sane person not wanting to know the result would know not to browse this thread.

"spoiler" may be unnecessary - the original title gave the stage winner away.
