i dont mean to be lame but...

why don't people put spoilers in the subject line?! i hadn't watched the new ringer and was not expecting when i clicked on the thread to be informed of a big spoiler.

i learned my lesson fast on this board about the importance of spoilers. just saying...it's annoying.

Wow. That was a big spoiler! Sorry. I posted in that thread and it didn't even occur to me- I watched it last night and didn't go into that post until afterward. Even though it didn't say spoiler I am always so careful! I try not to enter posts about shows I watch if I am not current just in case ... Sad

the rule at the top of the board says to write spoiler or the date of the episode.

I think it is a good one, then you know if you have seen it.

also, I am pretty sure our Ringer episodes air later in the week than CW.

thatgirlang · October 2011

Oh! Wait. I just re-read the post. The OP didn't need a spoiler warning because she didn't have any spoilers in her post. The spoilers were in the thread.

Anyway, again, I am just really careful after getting upset on these boards over stuff like this many many times.

My general rule is that if a post shows up about a show that I have not yet watched during the week, I don't open the post until after I watch the show. Most people do a really good job with warning about spoilers, but once in a while, something slips through.

no, i totally agree- it's not a huge deal...seriously. i am usually good at making myself NOT click for the same "just in case" but with the ringer one i did. lesson learned!

where are you that they air later?

Labeling "spoilers" is pointless if we dont know which episode! I always appreciate when people put the episode date in the title. There are many shows for which I DVR and might be behind. I then know not to open that one. Because I know there could be spoilers. In fact, I always assume there will be.

I'm the OP of the Ringer post. I'm sort of new to the board and don't post much so it slipped my mind to post the date and possible spoilers. I apologize for upsetting anyone but didn't intend for any spoilers to show up in the thread.

I'm the exact same way.

Yup.

If it's Friday morning and there's a new Grey's post, I assume it's related to last night's episode. Sometimes it's not, but if I don't want to read a spoiler, I don't open a post until I'm all caught up.

The OP didn't post a spoiler, someone else did so she didn't have to put that in the title.

I agree with you, but more often than not it's likely that spoilers will be posted at some point during the conversation and you can't assume otherwise.

I agree. Typically if I start a post and I don't spoil anything, I assume someone else will just in the course of the discussion, so I add *spoilers possible or probable* to the title.

That is a good assumption on this board. If there aren't spoilers in the OP, there typically will be after a couple of posts.
