How Spoilers/Dirt are to be handled

[Millennium]

If you have something Spoiler or Dirt related to post, post a new thread. In the title, use the following examples:

Big return on Raw!!! [SPOILER]

Backstage walkout Monday night [DIRT]

After that, discuss away in the thread created. This way, those that don't want to see the spoilers won't open the post, and those that do have a place to discuss each topic.

Okay so...is a rumored feud between Wrestler X and Wrestler Y that may take place after WM considered a spoiler or dirt?

Rumors are dirt. Spoilers are confirmed things, like Sting appearing on Raw last Monday.

Kudos on the change, but have you considered a sub forum for the topics? I feel like a lot of dirt/spoiler can be spoiled by a headline that alludes to the actual subject.

For example, a topic of "Huge name to appear on Raw!" could definitely spoil the suprise factor for those that don't even dive into the dirt/spoiler threads since there's now the expectation that a big name would appear. A sub forum would address this concern, if such a concern exists in the majority of posters.

I agree with this

100% in agreement.

I agree, I already accidentally hovered over the Daniel Bryan opponent thread and the preview popped up showing what the thread was about. Plus I don't know if I have the discipline to stay out of spoiler threads if the title grabs my attention.

Re: How Spoilers/Dirt are to be handled

I also liked having a specific thread so I could stay out of it if I didn't want to be spoiled. Is that going away?

This is definitely ten times worse then anything I thought was going to be done.

It clutters the section and no matter what, spoilers will be spoiled because of the preview in posts.

This would be for the best, keeps the forum from being cluttered and makes it easier for people not to get spoiled by a title.

Want to hear from the other side of the discussion - Would a new forum be a decent compromise?

I use phone/tablet only and Tapatalk shows the spoliers even when they are wrapped in tags.

Sub-forum would be good.

In my opinion, yes. Just so it doesn't spoil some surprises for people when it is a special appearance at a Raw or PPV. I sometimes like to be surprised so don't look at dirt sheets or sites but if it's right in my face like it could be now before I jump into a Raw or PPV discussion thread i'll be tempted to look.

This would be the best course of action. If this were implemented, though, the rules for thread tags you laid out need to still be enforced for those that want a differentiation between dirt and spoilers.
