Why should we have to spoiler officially released info?

[Cal.]

Housemates have been officially released by BB, it's people's own choice whether they look or not - if they don't wanna see they should go out of their way to avoid the forum - like when house pictures are released ect.

[Loukas]

Thats a good point actually..

Yes i dont get this why should the world stop for them? Majority of this forum have seen them yet are not really allowed to discuss them

I'm pretty sure it hasn't. Spoilering certain information is hardly a difficult task.

[Jake.]

It really isn't hard to put spoilers in the title. Anyone should be able to come on here as normal

[Pete.]

Ikr

[reece(:]

I agree Cal

[Denver]

It really isn't hard to put spoilers in the title. Anyone should be able to come on here as normal

And we should be able to talk about released information as normal

[Niamh.]

This really, why does it bother people so much I don't understand

[Cal.]

I'm not arguing that putting spoiler in the title is a difficult task, I just don't see why it has to be done considering its people's own choice whether they look or not and people are complaining there's too many threads about it when they should make an effort to avoid a place which discusses all things BB if they don't want to see ALL things BB.

[Drew.]

Theres still more to discuss on here during the build up than the housemates and it's so easy to just spoiler things/keep things to the threads specifically made for spoilers anyway

[Natalie.]

I guess because it isn't the normal thing BB do and people want to come and chat in the run up to launch like they usually do

[Niamh.]

And we should be able to talk about released information as normal

you can talk about it though

[LukeB]

It really isn't hard to put spoilers in the title. Anyone should be able to come on here as normal

yeah this really

[Jake.]

And we should be able to talk about released information as normal

Which you have been doing/can continue to do

Let's not pretend that having to keep things spoilered is going to dampen your forum experience for the next 2 days because it really isn't a lot to ask

[armand.kay]

I agree this is a big brother forum if you wanna avoid spoilers either mute the nn secotion or don't come on here

[Denver]

you can talk about it though

Yes but it has to be spoilered which is annoying

Exactly.

Having the housemates be revealed on launch night is all part of the fun of the launch for me. I don't think I should have to flat-out avoid the forum just because they've decided to do it differently this year.

And there are threads where people can talk freely about the housemates, threads which people like me will of course be avoiding. It's not like people have to click the spoiler tag button every single time they want to discuss the housemates, just keep it to the designated threads. I really don't see the issue.

And as for "just stay out of the BB section", it would be all fine and dandy if housemate discussion was being limited to this section (specifically the housemate discussion threads). It isn't. If people are going to talk about it in the chat section / threads not created for housemate discussion, then yes, they have an obligation to use spoiler tags I think.

[Jamesy]

Kinda agree but it's not that hard to just post in the spoiler topics and make threads with in the title. It's not hard labor. Just courtesy for those who wish to be surprised.

I do however think it's a big extreme having things like
[SPOILER]rapper
edited in a thread title and replaced with [spoiler], since it doesn't give away the name, age, location, lifestyle or personality of a housemate.

But like I say, it's easy to post in the spoiler topics. Not like the forum experience is being ruined.

[Denver]

I also cant tell you how desperate i am to start my appretiation thread haha

[Niamh.]

Exactly. People can still talk about the HMs on here without spoiling it for people, I don't see the issue unless they just want to ruin it for people maybe? :think:

[Niamh.]

Yes but it has to be spoilered which is annoying

why is that annoying?

[Denver]

why is that annoying?

Because the things that are being spoilered are pointless and wont ruin anything for anyone

[Niamh.]

But you're ok with the age, name, location and sex being spoilered?

[LukeB]

People who decide not to look should still be able to come on because not everyone comes on just for big brother. people really have to consider peoples wishes. It's really not hard typing spoiler tbh.

[Denver]

But you're ok with the age, name, location and sex being spoilered?

Not really but its not as bad

[Niamh.]

Not really but its not as bad

i just cant understand why you would want to either spoil it for people or expect them not come on TiBB at all just cos you dont want to type spoiler :laugh:
