(I just loaded up TL after a long weekend spent away from the computer, anxious to catch the VODs, and saw 2 results right off the bat  )On February 09 2010 05:10 Sadistx wrote: 1 hour. Honestly people who whine about spoilers are the next most annoying thing after flaming fanboys. If you go into a thread that has "TSL" in its title, expect to get spoiled. We're not talking about that -_- | ||

My most sincere apologies to anyone I spoiled. It was a lapse in judgment and I'm very sorry. | ||

Though if you don't want the games spoiled but go into threads with TSL in the title its pretty self-explanatory that you could run into spoilers. | ||

Saturday evening many of us are probably away an can't watch the whole stream, i mostly watch the saturday games on sunday afternoon and right after that the live cast. So 2 days seems perfect, 1 day is ok | ||

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. | ||

For the rest of the forum until the vods are out 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.. | ||

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. | ||

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'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. | ||

(I'm assuming this poll is about posting the results on the front page.) 2/3 days is good. | ||

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 | ||

Though my solution is pretty simple. Go to TL, click relevant news articles, download torrents, leave TL | ||

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 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. | ||

I agree with Mora (except for the namecalling  ), there's people who want to follow the TSL at a possibly delayed pace.Several times I read that professional quality is one of the goals of TSL 2. Accommodating the minority late-watcher group who would still want to enjoy the TSL without getting spoiled, should be part of that. It is an investment in being careful not to spoil and an exercise in keeping the news reporting, at the same time, attention grabbing and exciting, and it is professional to accommodate as many people as is reasonably possible. | ||
