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?

Re: How Spoilers/Dirt are to be handled

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.

A sub forum would address this concern, if such a concern exists in the majority of posters.
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.

Re: How Spoilers/Dirt are to be handled

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.

Re: How Spoilers/Dirt are to be handled

Yeah, I think a new forum would be good but we should still keep the spoilers separated from the Dirt because I think a lot of people read dirt and not spoilers like me.
