Yeah? Why is that?
Maybe advertise that a little more? I had no idea. (I wasn't the one who spoiled it, but I could have been.)DrewDawg said:
Because there was kind of a gentleman's agreement not to spoil the pick until it was announced on TV.

There was a thread for that, but it wasn't this one.
Just like there was a gentleman's agreement not to hire or rent to jews 70 years ago, you anti-semite!DrewDawg said:

I see that now, it hasn't been updated for 9 hours so it doesn't show up on my phone unless I scroll down. So easy to see how it could happen.Red Averages said:
There is a thread titled "spoilers", clicking on the game thread would show multiple people complaining about spoilers..... general common sense would also come into play.
I'll never understand the need for people to be "first" reporting instead of taking the extra 10 seconds to maybe think for a second about why such a thread doesn't exist. It's a bit frustrating to watch a draft for 3 hours and get to the best part only to have someone tell you how it ends 5 minutes before you can watch it.

Yeah, but if some TV thread isn't spoiling the ending of the show but someone else starts a thread with what happened, it kinda defeats the purpose no?
Omar is dead you know?
It's like the no spoilers Game of Thrones threads. By your logic I could spoil the shit out of what happens in the books in a thread title, but it'd be cool because it wasn't in the no spoilers thread.
In the end, I don't really care, but it was a clear a lot of folks here wanted to experience the draft a certain way and it was kind of agreed on.
But someone has to be first, so good on you.

Yeah, and they could have easily found that info on the internet without spoiling what everyone else thought was the protocol.
This. I came looking for a thread about Brown when I saw he was the pick because I wanted to see the reaction. Don't want things to be spoiled? Don't leave the fucking "no spoilers" thread. It's pretty easy, the rest of us don't give a shit about your tender sensibilities and desire to wait for the godawful TV coverage to finally get there a half hour after the fact.Phragle said:
Stay in the spoiler-free thread. The rest of the internet still runs on real time.
Except for the fact it isn't so fucking easy and there were spoilers in the fucking non-spoilers thread. You would think it would be easy right?

Then blame the people who spoiled it in your little fortress of no-spoileritude. No one else gives a shit.ilol@u said:Except for the fact it isn't so fucking easy and there were spoilers in the fucking non-spoilers thread. You would think it would be easy right? Especially when
1. There was a separate SPOILERS GAME THREAD.
2. There were multiple posts on the first page stating NO-SPOILERS.
Thanks for trying.
