Calm down. The reason this thread was made is because I made a poll (which is unavoidably part of the forum structure) a bit too early for many people's tastes, which is entirely understandable. This has nothing to do with the spoiler threads. The complaints that lead to this poll are entirely valid.

I think this poll is really referencing the fact that the last poll generated some complaints for spoiling the results on the front page. Clearly we have spoilers and spoiler warnings on threads to prevent people from stumbling onto them, but the front page is another story.

I voted one day, but I really think it should be 24 hours after VODs are released. Just to make certain that if someone missed the broadcast they have ample opportunity to see the games before results are all over the place.

EDIT: The spoilers didn't affect me, but I would be disappointed if they had. Thanks for being so frank and accountable with this.

yeah it was a little annoying, I couldn't watch the stream yesterday due to clanwar duties, the cast finished at around 11pm last night for me and I had college today so it was hardly convenient for me to stay up and wait for vods and as I went onto game 2 of ret vs CaStrO, i looked to the right and

I've got a Poll: How long should TL wait after I post how I'm pretty cool because I said JF would win before you change the Poll?

The answer is like five minutes apparently.

2 days is best. I check in here most days, but occasionally real life gets in the way of my starcraft viewing

I'm fine with 1-2 days, finding time within 30 or so hours of the game to watch them should be do-able, and if you can't find the time then, just avoid possible spoiler forums till you do. I'd go as long as 4 days before putting spoilers on the front page.

1 day seems the most reasonable, maybe a little bit more, we have people all around the world

This poll is asking how long until the spoiler tag isn't needed anymore.

To be really safe, if the games are on the weekend it is probably best to wait until Tuesday. A lot of people can be completely away from their computers on a given weekend and want to surf TL at work on Monday but not able to watch until the evening. If TL was purely a news site I'd say sooner is fine but there are a lot of other things to do here.
It's supposed to be automatic but actually you have to press this button.

Definitely till ~midweek the week after the matches imo. So 3-4 days. Maybe longer on a poll instead of a thread.

two days is pretty perfect, hardly an excuse for taking longer than that to catch up

Essentially what we're talking about is a game or series being spoiled just by the simple act of visiting teamliquid.

News posts are fine because if one hasn't seen the games, you don't click on the post. They can go up straight away.

A poll on the side of the screen or anything that you can't help but see should happen at least 3 days afterwards, sometimes longer depending on the circumstances (e.g. Xmas holidays or whatever).

Can't understand people saying 1 day, that seems so rediculous.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Voted 1 day, as I can't see Sunday casters not mentioning Saturday's games (in case you can only watch Sunday).
