Looking for feedback. It's not as important in the Giro, or the one-day races, but during the tour where we can watch it daily, it's a much bigger deal.
Personally, it's not a big deal for me to wait the 3 seconds it takes to open the link, and 99% of the time I know the results anyway, I get it off of VN or something. So maybe it's mainly to get us in the habit for July.

Anyway, what is everyone's thoughts? Can we get either a "mob-rule" or Mod decision on this?

I don't really care about the Giro. But Le Tour gets a hells no vote from me.

I think it should be a blanket policy for the entire road forum...

Very true.

What about putting "spoiler" in front of a spoiler title? Example: "Spoiler: lance wins."

That way, people will know not to read the title further.... I keed, I keed.


Anyways, yeah, I know what you mean. I think no matter what, the spoiler should be in the thread and not in the title.

It's not like the road board gets enough love that we can't open every thread. I vote no to spoilers, ever.

I vote we keep spoilers out of the titles
