Spoiler Posting Suggestions

[Sir Real]

With all the discussion and anger in recent days concerning posting Olympic, sporting event, and TV show spoilers maybe we should agree on guidelines instead of relying on someone's definition of some unwritten rules. I'm not suggesting board policy be changed, but more of an agreement amongst "friends". So here goes, feel free to add your own.


1) Do not, under any circumstances, post a score, winner, competitor's name, event, or TV character.

2) The thread title should be sandwiched between '******SPOILER******* ******SPOILER*******' and should either scroll from left to right, or flash. It should also be in red and sound an alarm.

3) Do not post anything suggestive of the result in the title. For example, 'BIG Rhythmic Gymnastics News' or 'Do you believe what happened on Wheel of Fortune last night?' are out.

4) When posting the text of the message, press enter 57 times before keying anything resembling a spoiler, or use invisible ink. If possible, key the text so that it can only be read through red cellophane.

5) Make sure the text self destructs after being viewed 50 times.

Hey, I put spoiler in the title.

What about don't disucss any current events until they are no longer current wait approx 5 years to discuss anything.

What's the point of having this? If you go to any news website that's covering the Olympics you'd see it there....this is a public message board. Next thing ya know we're going to be banning everything non Disney related!

Hey, I put spoiler in the title.

Yes, you did, but I didn't see all the asterisks, the red or the alarm. (But I do have my sound turned off, so maybe the alarm did go off). Also, you didn't do the 57 "enters" before posting your information.

Dude, you gotta practice what you preach if you want others to follow.

 

[Sir Real]

Good point. Should I go back and edit then type up a formal apology to the entire board?

I'm just gonna sit here and watch the views to see if there's an explosion or something when it self destructs .

I like having things spoiled for me. When I buy a book, I always read the last chapter first.

You are a hoot, Sir Real!!!

Oh, most definitely. To prove you are truly genuine, offer to accept 1000 lashes with a wet noodle, too.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

Ummmm....excuse me, but I didn't hear an alarm. I'm very upset.

Umm 78 views so far... no explosion. I am truly disappointed and

 

[dianeschlicht]

Wow, so what kind of alarm were you thinking of, Sir? Should it be a gentle "ding" or a big KABOOM!?

 

[Sir Real]

I'm thinking something like an air raid siren.

Before any of these suggestions are put in place we need at least a majority agreement on them. How many DISboarders are there?
