Guild Wars 2

Is there anything we can do about this? It really sucks to log into the forums the next day and see “GRATS XXXX TEAM FOR WINNING!” and have all the excitement of watching the vods taken away.

Maybe require spoiler tags on titles?

There isn’t really anything you can do about it except not check the forums til you’ve watched it.

Well that’s how it works. It’s even the same thing with sports etc.
You can’t really escape it, but I feel sorry for you.

There’s plenty that can be done. Moderators can change subjects that have spoilers. Reddit has found ways to allow people to hide spoilers. Now that the heavy esports push has begun it’s kind of important that something be done about this, even if it is just having admin/mods watch out for thread titles that spoil results and change them.

So you want moderators to increase their work load, because you care a lot about a match score, but not enough to watch the match?

Yes. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to censor a thread every once in awhile when it spoils results of official tournaments. I care that my experience of watching isn’t ruined, it’s much less exciting if I already know who wins in the end and I know that others probably don’t appreciate it either.

Sometimes things get in the way and you CANNOT watch the matches even if you want to. Why should my experience be ruined literally the next morning because I couldn’t watch it the day before when it would have taken a mod about 10 seconds to change a subject line? Which I know the staff peruses these forms often and it would be quite convenient for them to make that change while they are here.

Stop making this out to be an unreasonable request, many esports sites go to fairly great lengths to keep from spoiling results as much as possible.

Plus those posts probably belong in the PVP Events because they are actually event related anyways. If I saw a spoiling title in the PVP Events section this would be a complete non-issue.

Or you can be a responsible person and take care of yourself.

If you don’t want spoilers…why should the rest of the world be inconvenienced just so you don’t see them? You have the power to control this already.

This world of unexplained feelings of entitlement I swear.

I agree with you.

They should add spoilers like this on facebook as well because I didn’t watch the Heat play the Spurs until the next day cuz im weird like that but facebook spoiled it for me.

… Not sure if just trolling or what…

There’s really nothing I can do when I’m casually browsing the forums for a few minutes before work and I have a subject line spoil the whole results for the tournament.

Sure it’s a little entitled but it can only help the community to actually WANT to watch the matches to see the results rather than having them instantly spoiled the moment they click the forums link.

Okay, let’s assume yesterday was the World Cup in football (the real one, mind you), and
you haven’t watched it. And today you’re reading the newspaper, especially the sports
part (=pvp forums), is it reasonable for you to aks the newspaper company to put on spoiler tags on the results?

No, but it isn’t all over the front page, its on the sports page, so if I don’t read that page I don’t know who won.

In the forums, the title is Congratz x Team in the pvp forums. So if you go to the PvP forums you know who has won.

The whole thing is silly though, watch the How I Met Your Mother episode with the superball to see how silly the whole thing is.

But PvP forums = sports page, and such a major event would definitely be on the front page.

You can just not give a kitten. This is something that always works.

dont look in the forums than, people will always talk about AFTER the match cause thats what a forum is for – to talk buot things

when you dont wanna know the news just dont watch the news
