No Olympics Spoilers Please

[NightWatcher]

Many of us will be watching them on NBC, or similar, over the next two weeks and we ask of you to please not ruin it by blaring the results before we have the chance to see it with the rest of the world.

Thank you
Signed, the following DUers

1. I really couldn't care less about the Olympics,

but here in Alaska we're very delayed.

[truebrit71]

3. ..In general or just with the Olympics??

JUST KIDDING!!!!

[Blue_In_AK]

20. TV in general.

Whenever something is listed as "9:00 P.M. Eastern, 8:00 Central," we're always Central. So I guess that means we're delayed three hours.

(And, yes, I know what you were doing there with that response. )

[truebrit71]

2. Agreed...no spoilers please...

Cheers!!!

[KG]

4. a simple 'spoiler alert' in the thread title would probably suffice...

[Lint Head]

5. I will retroactively comply with your request.

[pinboy3niner]

6. Too late. Mitt's already there.

[11 Bravo]

11. BWAHAHAHA! DUzy!

[malaise]

12. DUzy

[myrna minx]

16. Well played.

[tkmorris]

7. Couldn't agree more

I warn you though that at least one poster that I am aware of WILL post results here, in the thread title, no matter how much anyone implores upon her not to do so. I have tried reasoning with that poster before about this but it has zero effect. You might want to avoid GD at least if there are results you don't want to know about.

8. Thank you. Yes, everyone please only post spoilers in threads and not in the subject

thank you!

[joeybee12]

9. Here's a spoiler...they're being held in London.

Hee-hee

[Tom Ripley]

10. That dude from that place won that thing!

[Egalitarian Thug]

13. K&R&Yes please, pretty please with sugar on top. n/t

[Beaverhausen]

14. Kick- can we get this stickyed to the top?

[NightWatcher]

17. I guess we'll just have to kick it repeatedly

[SoutherDem]

15. Don't worry won't be watching

For me the Olympics are a disease which acts up every two years. No spoilers from me. I won't have the info to spoil with.

[Control-Z]

18. I'd like to see something like this pinned

by the admins at the top of GD page, and perhaps the Latest Threads page to remind people.

K&R

[Riftaxe]

19. They will be held again in 2016

oh...Sorry!

[Alduin]

21. I didn't know Olympic spoilers exist.

[proud patriot]

22. still waiting on the west coast

[HipChick]

23. I just left the Stadium...

It's prob going to take me about 3-4 hours to get to where I'm staying..

[alarimer]

24. Good luck. Better stay off the internet.

Personally I loathe NBC and its coverage so I won't watch. So I will keep up with the stats in real time. And Twitter will probably break everything anyway.

[taterguy]

25. Oh Noes!! This fell off the first page

How else will people know that it's fucking rude to post SPoilers?

[taterguy]

31. Oh FFS

Somehow this dropped off the first page

[barbtries]

26. i on the other hand have no tv

not even access to a live stream. but then i really don't care much at all. i missed watching the opening ceremonies and will be looking for video to watch. especially the NHS bit.
maybe people could just put spoiler alert in the OP title and those DUers who don't want to know can opt out.

[tridim]

27. I'm resigned to the fact that there will be spoilers..

All over the place, not just on DU.

It's inevitable with the tape delays.

[Beaverhausen]

28. kick

[MineralMan]

29. I doubt it will be possible to avoid Olympic spoilers on DU.

We have members in every time zone and all around the world. There are bound to be posts with results in the title. It's OK with me, since I won't actually be watching very much. In any case, I don't care if I know the results before watching an athletic competition. I'm afraid you're going to be faced with spoilers throughout the Olympics.

30. Good luck with that. eom
