Spoilers in topic titles

[Legend]

I only have to go into the TV Chat forum and I find soap spoilers in the titles and it's stuff I don't want to see.

I now know Daz might be leaving Emmerdale and David is linked with suicide now, both of which I didn't want to know.

Please would you all stop doing it? I'm not able to post in the actual topics anymore because people don't put the spoilers in spoiler tags so at least not do it in the titles as well?

[Matt]

Yeah, it's a good idea. I don't make spoilers known in my Ugly Betty thread.

They are hints, Daz might not be leaving Emmerdale, although I might change the corrie one:laugh:

How about having a Sub-forum for TV spoilers so they are all there and away from the tv forum? or is that a bad idea.

It's not a bad idea, but spoilers are more relevant in the TV forum.

I think we should refrain from posting such spoilers in topic titles and use the spoiler tags more.

I'll post questions in the titles from now on not spoilers ;)

I know what you mean, it can totally spoil something. I think a spoiler thread should say something like 'SPOILER IN THIS TREAD, blah blah blah...'

There are also some threads in which spoilers are more relevant than their own thread. In this case, spoilers in the title of said thread are not advised.

Ok, thanks Matt. :thumbs:

If you mean questions like ''Is Daz leaving?'' then you may as well say ''DAZ IS LEAVING'' as it's still kinda spoiling it.

Post as many spoilers in the thread but just not on the titles as there aren't spoiler tags for topic titles.

I'll tell you the truth its speculation from ME, its like someone posting will
------ will happen in BB9
its not confirmed or anything
I dont know who dies

So therefore it's not spoiling it.

Reality TV shows like Big Brother can change at any time. They are largely unscripted. Soaps and dramas, however, aren't.

Also I was wrong about him leaving anyway

[Scarlett.]

Im gonna mark spoilers from page 19 on (In the Corrie thread)

also I changed the title to a more boring one :bored:

[Legend]

Could you all stop doing this? I'm sick of going into the TV Chat forum and seeing topics spoiling soap storylines ... I don't want to know about explosions and people losing their babies.

There are so many new threads for different soaps all spoiling storylines in the titles and then more spoilers within the thread without putting them in the spoiler tags and it's so avoidable and yet, people keep doing it.

There is one thread for all soaps so why do numerous ones need to be made for a new storyline? It's not fair on those who don't want them spoling so PLEASE, can you stop it?

[Scarlett.]

Im wondering why there is so many EE threads too, whats wrong with the EE discussion one?

[Matt]

Yeah, it would be nice if there was only one thread for every soap...

...it's cluttering up the TV Chat forum big time

[Scarlett.]

I mean, I only make seperate threads for poll'sbut for EE there is about 10 seperate threads

Obviously, because you can't do in-thread polls... but some of the topics don't really need to be in their own topic, they should just be in the discussion threads
