PBA Spoiler Post 3/26/06 - Geez, remember others...
« on: March 26, 2006, 06:14:40 AM »
Hey guys, just a reminder, I know many people are excited
when the show is over and post who wins in the title
of their thread. But just think about the people who
haven't watched the telecast yet and log into this site.

Sorry, I'm not usually the one to rant, but I think it just
an act of courtesy to others.

Thanks!
Ram

Thanks for trying, Ram.  Glad I read your post before I went into my major rant about the (name-calling curtailed) person who posted about WRW's win in the miscellaneous forum.

My husband works on Sundays, so I tape the show and we watch it later in the evening.  I've always thought it was safe to come on the boards and read down to the for sale forum avoiding the PBA forum ... until today.  Thanks ever so much to the (expletive deleted) person who had to post about the win in the miscellaneous forum.

Please, folks, if you must gush about who won, at least put it in the proper forum and I'll try to avoid seeing it.  Guess I'll go away muttering now.

Debina and Fireguy, thanks for hitting me back up.

In all fairness, Walter Ray's 41st title tying Earl Anthony for the All time lead is awesome. I don't blame people for getting excited and posting it up.
It is a once in a lifetime event. Props go out to Walter.

I did watch the telecast, "Live," but in all fairness, some people come in here and see the posts only to have their day spoiled. I myself try to avoid ballreviews or any bowling related website if I miss the show in the morning. I'm just thinking about the other people out there that don't really think about it. Fireguy, you have a point, Tivo the damn show, but c'mon man, some people like this site a lot and don't even think about that stuff.

Just thought a spoiler thread would help since it was brought up in the past.

Take it easy y'all,
Ram

All I'm going to say is that if you log into this site, don't be surprised if a winner's name appears in a header. Sure, nobody wants it to happen, but it's happened a lot of times already and it isn't going to stop happening.
If you absolutely, positively don't want to see this information by accident, then don't log into the site until you have watched the show!
And if you keep coming back to the site before watching your tape/tivo of the show and you keep having the same "surprise" happen to you, then who's the dummy here?

Let me clarify ...

I realized a long time ago that some people MUST put the winner's name in the header.  I accept that as something that's just not going to change.  All I'd like to see is that posts about the PBA show get posted in the PBA forum.  If I can't keep my eyes off the PBA forum before I watch the show, that's just my tough luck.  But I do like to check out the manufacturers' forums and the miscellaneous forums from time to time before I see the show.  I don't log in here every five minutes, so I usually have at least a couple of pages before I get far enough down in the boards to see the PBA section.

It was a simple request, not a whine or a pout or anything along those lines.  Put posts in the proper forum.  It just makes sense.  Otherwise, why have forum categories at all?

Someone who makes perfect sense! I don't log on the site until I've seen the show, since those who post results in the subject just don't know, or just don't give a f...

I dont agree with Fireguy saying what hes saying but his point is true. If you dont want to know the results and yet you know where to find them---why go there??? Every day of a show, there might be 5 or 6 topics bumped, all but 1 normally has to do with the show directly. Why put yourself in that position?

The other question I have is---why do you care so much whether you know who won or not? I dont care who wins or loses. Drama is drama 1 way or another. If its a dramatic show, you will be entertained when you watch. You will just know what is coming. Whoopity doo. I watched Ernie vs Randy today on Classic and it was extremely entertaining---and Ive seen that show 3 or 4 times. You people that blame everyone else, when its you coming to a site where we are encouraged to discuss bowling, then complaining that we post about bowling. I understand "But put spoiler!!!". Boo Hoo. Get over it, go to your other websites and whatnot, read the news, find some other place to go. Its your mistake, not the posters.

Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like I struck a nerve with some of you.
I apologize if this has created such a huge uproar.

I've been coming to this site for 5 years and I have been careful about
"not coming on to the site," if I didn't watch the show earlier in the day.

I guess it can go both ways. It was just an opinion and a suggestion.
At least people from both sides can agree to disagree.

Sincerely Yours,
Ram

I saw a title that said WRW WINS 41! then I went to the PBA site, but only scrolled down far enough to see the top part of a pic, but didn't see any headlines or articles.  The pic I saw though was a hand with a glove, and I know Weber wears one..  So, I thought Weber won the title, though I saw the title of the other post.  I don't wake up on Sunday until about 4:00 when it is time to go to work and I watch the show around 11:00 when I get home.
