I think the initial complaint (although it was constructive) was from someone who said Raw hadn't started in their area yet, which was fair enough HOWEVER If you want to avoid spoilers for your favourite TV show or a new movie, I think staying clear of the internet should probably be your first priority (I've never had a wrestling PPV ruined in the three and a half years since I returned to watching, despite only having watched a couple live, it's really not that hard to stay off the internet for a day!) Between creative titles and spoiler tags, there's other options here. If I'm just logging in to check out the Classifieds and avoiding the actual "wrestling" section like I was, there's no reason why the top post being displayed for Mattel figures on the main forum section should be a spoiler. This happens EVERY time someone debuts or returns now (and usually there's like 4 or 5 of the same threads!).

So you don't go into the Mattel board for classifieds

Well, given that you know that, wouldn't it be sensible to stay clear of here until you've seen Raw?

So you don't go into the Mattel board for classifieds I realize the Classifieds section has its own sub board. However, the MAIN FORUM PAGE displays the top post of every sub board. You don't even have to go into the Mattel board to see stuff when people are using it as their headlines.

Ladies, we're going in circles here.
Some of you are right, some of you are wrong. Also, some of you are wrong, some of you are right.

I don't see how anyone could possibly blame anyone but themselves for getting on the internet and seeing spoilers of something they haven't seen. And if it happens live, as in this thread was made AFTER they debuted, then it is no longer a spoiler as it has already happened. You may not have seen it, but it doesn't change the fact that it already happened.
If you don't or can't watch live, I advise you to stay of any wrestling site. Besides, no one makes you open a thread. You make that choice all on your own. Pretty damn simple.

You didn't even have to open it to have something spoiled. I know what the title was. And the only thing spoiled was their debut to people who weren't watching live. Which is something I don't consider to be a spoiler if it has already happened on live tv. We all knew they were signed and coming. I don't see the big deal about it. I do know that people get their panties in a wad especially when it comes to thread titles. But anyway... I'll bow out now before I get a warning.

There should be like a window of time. I made this same mistake and bummed people out. Everyone shake hands.

I guess that's a fair comment, a spoiler warning for the benefit of those who like to live on the edge would be consideratee

I want to clarify that I don't think he's slow, it just reads that way to me sometimes
