HTS, I was just about to post this, and then you beat me to it! Oh well, I'll do it anyway.

And everyone should know NOT TO PUT SPOILERS IN THREAD TITLES for any sporting event - tour or not. Or even TV series, recent film etc.

Everyone does know.

It's just that some attention seeking trolls ignore it so they can get off on the fallout.

I think that the OP would get a warmer welcome [url= http://www.over50sforum.com/showthread.php?t=11306 ]here[/url]

Does Woppit ever look at the Bike Forum?

Yeah, I'm so upset I'm not getting warm welcome (didn't look).

Are you people all on the rag or what?

Rarely.

Hopefully no more comments on here.

We all know where to express our opinions.

[i]Threads like this [b]spoilt it for everyone[/b], especially when it seems deliberate with the multiple title changes.
This forum could be a nice place, but [b]too many people being childish[/b]...[/i]

Oh the irony.

[quote=Mr Woppit ] 1: I didn't know there was already a TdF thread (apart from the one I posted previously, which had no responses).

Well of course there wouldn't be one, as nobody on here is likely to be interested in it 🙄

Of course you can also do some interesting forensic stuff on here. Here is [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tdf-stage-5-a-stage-riddled-with-dangers-spoilers/page/6#post-6152007 ]post 6152007[/url] this thread starts with [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/dropping-like-flies#post-6152009 ]post 6152009[/url] meaning that when this thread was posted the official TdF thread was 2nd from the top.

No excuses at all - personally I hit that report post button.

Wow.

This is an all time sad sack low. Even for STW.

Get a grip guys.

You don't even pay road tax.

I think there's a great deal of gripping going on, frankly.

Jeez, I'd stop digging Woppit, you are truly coming across as a gargantuan bell end now, and you could have saved it.

Worse than Lance!

I very nearly posted a thread titled Froome Out or something similar - didn't even cross my mind that it would set loose a baying mob.

Glad I didn't now! Babybgoode would have been terrified by the burning torches and pitchforks.

I agree with Woppit et al - if you want to avoid Tour news avoid the internet / TV / Radio / the world until you have seen said highlights...

Only now? I thought that had been established already.

Sorry if I'm not just lying down and letting all these cyber-bullies walk all over me, having the temerity to answer back and all.

Nothing to be "saved" AFAIK.

I think the issue with this thread (there was another with a similar title that stayed calmer) is that Woppit made the change deliberately after initially using a more opaque thread title and then carried on posting on it for some after being asked to change it back. This made people believe his protestations of innocence were less than true.

Yep. I wanted to let people know it had happened.

after being asked to change it back

No you didn't. You said "maybe a title edit?" You didn't say why. Given I wasn't aware of any of these conventions, it's hardly surprising your suggestion carried no impact.

Go on...

Interesting.

Usually threads are closed pretty darned swiftly when there are duplicates of discussions elsewhere.

Both of these threads could have been closed with a link to the main tdf thread.

I wonder why that didn't happen with either of spoilers? Especially when mods seem to have got involved changing the thread titles?

Good question. I'd asked myself that sometime ago.

Sed fortasse non adepto vitantur sic multiplicata vitae elit.

Edit: Which apparently translates back as "But perhaps it does not get banned is so multiplied life and culture.". Eh? Pffft. Google translator. 😆

It's hardly as if the conversation has blossomed into a new and worthwhile discussion.

Sadly - this. Which i can only conclude is because when faced with the option of taking the thread down or using it to demonstrate what a bellend woppit can be at times, the blazing pitchforks win every time.

Perhaps it will be closed for discussing moderating behaviour instead.

I didn't say you were a bellend, i said you can be at times (here being one)

We can all be bellends at times. I know I can. As can the mods, as also demonstrated here.

I dunno. I think they may be leaving this up deliberately.
