How long should we wait before assuming we aren't spoiling…

I'd say 2 days. News is news and if you wait to long it's history. I missed the first set on Sunday, but downloaded it Sunday night and watched it on Monday morning. I feel that anyone who would really care enormously about spoilers would find a way to watch them within 48 hours. If you haven't watched a set of games within 48 hours, you should probably expect to get spoiled somewhere. Hell, if I miss anything by 5 minutes I try to stay off of TL so I don't get spoiled somewhere.

I had an explanation for 2 days but now I realize it doesn't make any sense.

i wasn't upset, but then again only one match was spoiled for me. i personally, however, don't think that anything should be spoiled that badly so soon.

I D/L the vods as soon as they come out and just don't visit TL until I watch them, I recommend that to anyone who can't view them immediately, and care about being spoiled.

As for my opinion on spoilers, I think 4 days minimum, which would be midweek after the casts.

I have a lot of things to do on the weekend, and TSL casts take up a lot of time, its just not viable for me to watch live. I don't want to catch a game here or there, I want to really enjoy the event and wait until I have time to watch a full set at a time. It takes me a few days to finish watching the games.

I think there should be spoiler alerts for at least 3 days afterwards. Spoilers are to be expected, but I think there should be warning for people who havent watched games.

At least 2 days after VODs are available, I would say. As much as I love Starcraft and would love to put everything else off to watch the latest games, sometimes I just can't.

I have tried hard to get the no spoiler thing but I cant so I'd say 12hours. If you have not watched live you dont care enough and deserve to have the outcome spoiled. In other sports I like to know the results even if I was not able to watch the game/competition when it aired. It's one thing knowing who won and another thing knowing how he/she won it.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

This is perhaps the most utterly retarded thing I have heard all week. Congratulations.

Some of us actually have obligations in the form of school or work which make watching live impossible.

I'd say about a day. I've missed a bunch of matches due to life and weather (for instance...that same 50 feet of snow that buried intrigue), and had to watch them later.

Also, I missed the NATE MSL finals because I didn't feel like waking up at 4am or whatever, and before I could watch them, it was spoiled for me in a thread that had nothing to do with MSL at all (or even anything to do with Flash or Jaedong). That was annoying. So yeah, the argument "nyahhhhh just don't look at threads with 'TSL' in the topic" is crap.

just dont release the results straight on the frontpage and everything is fine for release even before the live matches.

for the people that are saying dont click on the TSL thread and you wont get spoiled, there was a poll with the results on the front page, you could be in the random funny pictures that make me laugh thread and get spoiled.

3 days would be nice, cause i usually dont have time on sat or sun to watch, usually have monday to spend watching replays and vods.


or just keep spoilers off the front page, then if i click on a page about something i dont want to be spoiled about, then its my own damn fault.

To be honest, it should be as long as it takes to get the VODs on youtube (or I guess torrentz are fine too) so that the people who couldn't watch it live are able to catch up.

I said 3 days but 2 days is probably fine too. I don't think it should be any less though.

Where's the option for "immediately" ?

I feel like we have this argument all too often. It always degenerates into "DON'T CLICK LINKS ON TL IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED" vs whatever the other, irrelevant side might be.

You are missing the entire point of the question. They are wondering how long until results dont need to be hidden behind spoiler tags or spoiler threads and can be placed in the open such as the front page or in any random thread.

i'm gonna be a giant douchebag and call you all fucking nerds

honestly, 1 day?

do you honestly get on your computer every fucking day?. holy fucking nerds.

i love starcraft and i love the TSL. I don't expect spoiler dates to accommodate people who are inactive or aren't terribly interested, but 1 day seems extreme to me.

Seriously, you go away with you girlfriend for a weekend of hot sex and you get back and deserve to have the tournament spoiled cause you didn't camp out your computer?

You work 2 days of overtime in a row and don't have time to go home, so you spend the night and deserve to have the TSL spoiled?

/endless examples.

2 days is ok. though i think 3 - 5 would be better (i realize this is going to the other extreme and accomodating the like 1% of people at tl.net who don't check it every day. So, 2 then?).

edit - fuck it. it should be like 5 days. hmph.
Happiness only real when shared.
