This is a fan site, most people are gonna be interested in the most up to date information, especially since even the offical show BOTS gives away spoilers in it's show.

If you don't want spoilers then you shouldn't be on a fan forum to begin with IMHO.

Salman! is ruining the forum, a ban is in order methinks.

If so, I have to wonder then why it is included in the rules of this forum then?

Same reply as I gave Dezzy. Not every fan wants to know the results before they are shown on TV. Not every fan watches the spin off show either. You shouldn't assume that what you want, is what everyone else wants.

Given your words in bold above: 'if you don't want spoilers' , clearly you have missed the entire point of the thread - given that it IS proper spoilers that I referred to in the actual thread, not just the title.

Apart from anything, I have every right to be on this forum, whether I am a fan or not of BB.

My advice is leave the forum and take up traveling with your free bus pass

Yes slow connection speeds not showing you have posted quick enough but connection speed quick enough to show content of each thread while hovering your mouse over it.

Strange that!

Its not often you are right but oops you are wrong again, it can be either is or are depending on the context. Impatient posters being a collective group, therefore a singular case and "is" is contextually more apt.

Alright, well i had the noms spoiled for me too, but i'm not betching about it. I'd rather have it spoiled so i can participate in the conversations going on on the forum.

InOne 15-01-2012 04:14 PM

Just have to be a little more careful in future Pyramid! No unnecessary hovering!

Then why are you hovering over spoiler threads? If you don't want to get spoiled then move your mouse a few centimetres away from the Recent Posts. It's just laziness to expect admin to have spend time coding in new features just because you don't want to move your mouse a little bit to the side.

Nothing strange about it at all - I said I've been having issues with my connection which was in relation to the previous double post - and I was unsure whether it was caused by issue at my end or with Tibb's very slow and bothersome server.

Besides which, it looks like your doing not a lot on here, other than trying to cause trouble for the hell of it. Bored today are you?

Fact remains, my point is valid in regards to what I stated in my opening post.

I don't happen to be the only person who has referred to this on this thread.

I shouldn't have to do anything - if fms were at least reminded to follow the rules. You know, the ones that you as a mod should be at least trying to enforce - rather than insulting me by suggesting I am lazy.

I don't suggest admin do anything: admin make the rules do they not - it happens to be one of those rules as I pointed out earlier.

So rather than having a dig at me Dezzy, perhaps you should raise it with Admin that rules are being set up which are blithely being ignored - clearly by fms and at least one mod.

It certainly seems quite bizarre that a very polite request from me seems to have stemmed into me being targetted - very unfairly - for doing nothing more than stating a small flaw that can spoil info that other fms may not want to see until it's revealed on the show.

Not as bored as someone who makes spurious threads whinging about thread titles and spoilers, when a solution that doesnt affect anyone else is so easy, dont have your mouse hovering over the thread title.

As that meerkat thing on TV says.... Simples!!!

Nah was up to my nuts in someones guts earlier now chilling before supper (my equivalent to the post coital ciggie) and another session later

I'll make a thread about whatever I wish to - especially when there was and is a clear purpose for doing so.

If you don't agree, that's absolutely fine, but you happen to one of the ones making a rather big issue out of what was a polite request.

Stu 15-01-2012 04:27 PM

I'm not sure why you keep playing up the idea that this is also a massive problem for everyone else. Only Roy Mars and Incensed have replied with anything amounting to similar frustration and Roy was more talking about multiple threads.

Anyone else find this a big problem? The whole hovering over spoilers thing? I'd love to be proven wrong so just throw your name in the hat if you're reading this right now. We might as well have a little cenus, y'know.

I mean if you find it annoying cool beans but I don't think it really botheres anyone else.

Jesus. 15-01-2012 04:28 PM

I wonder how many pages we can drag this non-issue out over.

I think if people put spoiler in the thread subject, then they are keeping their end of the bargain.

If we as posters, have neither the intelligence, or dexterity to avoid hovering our mouse icons over these threads, then it's really our fault.

How about you move your mouse cursor up the margins of the page, then only move it across when you've reached the thread you want?

Tom4784 15-01-2012 04:28 PM

Thank you Pyramid for reminding me why I tend to keep you on my ignore list. I'm closing this thread since your just using it as an excuse to argue with people.
