This poll is useless.

There is no way that there would be this many votes for 1 day or 12 hours if it specified just a little bit more. 12 hours or 1 day for Opt-in spoilers is fine. A day or 12 hours is absurd for splashing across the front page.

There's a ton of votes based on the assumption that this poll is referring to creating a thread that labels itself as being a spoiler and people have to click on it to be spoiled. Please don't use this as an excuse to spoil people who simply visit the website..

1 day. If you don't watch it live it's because you were at the hospital removing a harpoon out of your chest, meaning you'll be back home in the early morning.

yeah. we really cant find a right answer here. there are allways ppl on both side, those who want 12 hours, and those who want 6 days or more. instead, the best way would be a spoiler-tag or something. so that those who want to know the score right after the match, can do that, and those who dont want to, dont have to.

I said 2 days... i think a good portion of TLers are pretty busy like myself who are in school + work... college alone is bad enough but that plus work and all the other nuances of life (like the blizzard my area got this weekend again) really limit the time we can spend on luxuries like the TSL. I unfortunately have not been able to watch any live streams but have been able to watch all the VODs spoiler free... and i feel like all the time i've needed, despite all the stuff on my plate, is two days... so i think 48 hours is a fair amount of time... though obviously there are legitimate cases for over and under this amount of time as well

I just hope that there arent any spoilers posted in plain sight less than ~2 days after results because i find surprise and anticipation is the key to enjoyment while watching these games. So far i think TL has done an amazing job of avoiding spoling anything and i commend them for that.

Let the poll decide. Personally, I don't care about spoilers at all, but I think a reasonable time would be 2 days, which is more than enough time to watch the VODs.

it usually takes about 1-3 days for me to see the vods at ggnet unless i saw it live which would be about half the time. i got spoiled by the poll with mondy>brat and that bummed me out, was mostly my fault tho xd

it was actually my fault entirely, u see i had to vote first cause i was like "omg gosi vs jf was awesome i must vote" without realizing that it would show the results of each series, so there u have my opinion, stupid ppl will always find a way to get spoiled and its almost impossible to not spoil xD

I'd be very unhappy if their weren't at least spoiler tags for the first few days. I actually voted > week (or one week) because I don't see how anti-spoilers ever hurt anyone. With school and work, it can be hard to watch the vods in the first few days. The TSL is my top priority during my free time, but I'm still not caught up yet

. I'm not dumb enough to click on something that says "Ro8" when I haven't finished watching the Ro16, so as long as things are properly labeled and have spoiler tags, it's fine.

So far the coverage has been great for me! I just goto the news post, download the torrents, and watch them later without opening any spoilers.

it showed the results anyway without having to vote. it wasn't yout fault, it was an error in judgement by tl.

2 days would be the safest bet imo.

Accidentally voted 1 day but it should be 2 days, easily

Anything less than 2 days is bad imo. Altho I voted 4days, now it seems too much, it's old news by day 4.
(I'm assuming this poll is about posting the results on the front page.)

2/3 days is good.

I actually voted for 1 day but the more i think about it i feel that it make's more sense to make it 2 days, since if you allready know the result, you dont need to read about it, and if you dont know the result you have a full day after the event to look at the games. and if you dont care about getting spoiled then when the second day come's along you wont mind getting spold (and 2 days is still pretty fast in my mind for news to come out of the TL writers, considering the good quality of the news posts)

Or why not release all the news from TSL on tuesday? it give's alot of time for the writers to do an exilent job and enough time for all the one's who missed the event to see it.

Well, what ever you decide to do i think its gonna be great

Voted 2 days. Should be enough time for the vods to come up, download them and watch them all while not being in too much of a hurry with it.

2-3 days for the frontpage imo. anything else if in a thread/article about TSL just update instantly.

Since not everybody can watch them live or at least not all of them and many dont have the time to watch all vods in one evening I'd say 2 days

Well I voted 2 days, don't really have access to the internet much on weekends (decided to get rid of it from my home because it was too distracting) so I generally download the VODs at work on a Monday and watch that evening.
Though my solution is pretty simple.
Go to TL, click relevant news articles, download torrents, leave TL

Even front page articles don't have to spoil people that haven't watched the games. The paragraph preview before clicking on the article doesn't have to spoil the games!

instantly - for threads that are made for talking about results, otherwise spoiler tags
2 days - For front page articles that spoil -in the article-, or spoiler tags in the forum
5+ days - for front page, unable to opt-out spoilers, such as poll spoilers, or spoilers in previews of front page articles.

Again, nothing of value can be taken from these poll numbers. it is too simple.

I voted for one day, because I usually get to watch the games I want to see within that time period. (And the TSL games on Saturday are most likely going to get spoilered on Sunday's commentary.) (Luckily TSL starts 30mins after I get back from work. <3)
I can see a two-day rule being rather plausible though, as it does give people who are stuck at work/busy with commitments time to see games with the thrill of not knowing results.
