Posting Race Results .... DON\'T
 

There has been much discussion on this previously but it is general etiquette here and on most other boards that race results are not posted unless the thread title states CLEARLY that the results are contained within ......

Not everyone gets to watch the 1st showing ...!!!!



:flame::flame::flame::flame::flame::flame::flame:

Buy a satellite you tight git!

i do have a satellite, i also have a life ......

You get excited by the race results, but not enough to want to watch it live.......??

Obviously the attraction of a meal.......................:lol::lol:

Got anything constructive to say Andy? Or is it all kids playground stuff?

same old view point..........

It's easy people. I read another forum with a sports section and all you have to do is add the word **SPOILERS** to the title. Doesn't take any more time to sort and avoid upsetting people.

It was`nt that good anyway :lol:

I wanted to see Sete and Rossi at it.

and the stupid white flag rule needs to be scrapped

shut up .... don't you start .... :frog:

Where do you stop with this, after all it is a Ducati enthusiasts club, where naturally we follow all sporting events containing Ducatis, and want to comment on their performance etc.

Is it a case of you cant discuss anything that has happened, until everyone aknowledges to the site that they are aware of the result? At what point is it acceptable to talk about results?

Thought I had stumbled on to Visordown for a moment.

However a good point but not the authors fault it did get side tracked a bit which is understandable, hence I never read it until today because i didn't get to see the race until 3pm this afternoon and yes thanks i do have a satelite and a life (hence why i couldn't watch until today). :D:D:D

Yes that was obvious mate but why i didn't read it was I thought by the time the race had finished etc the thread would have continued and spoken about the result / incidents etc.

Planned to watch it at 10.00pm last night and the bloody snooker delayed it and in the end I just gave up as I was too knackered, hence I watched at 3pm today.

Fully agree that the title shouldn't contain race results and ideally an indication of the thread containing message results.

BUT, this is the race section, and the thread in question left no doubt about the subject of the thread. Even when using "today's posts" to scan through threads it's clearly evident that this post was in the race section. DON'T OPEN IT!!

Next will need to put a post in the general section that alert people that a certain thread may contain any kinf of race results or discussion that may hint at the race results. Come on, guys!

Lastly, as was the case in that thread, it wasn't the original poster who posted results. So, if one chooses to reply to such threads in the future, does the Dibblepolice then require us to edit the post title?

Isn't this getting a bit silly?

I don't see why there's so much discussion on this subject. Shirley it's easy.

If you post up about the race then you just put 'spoiler' or whatever in the title so it's known that results are inside. That way both groups have a choice, discussion on the race can go on freely in the knowledge that people who haven't seen the race yet won't read the thread until they've seen it.

Or am I missing something?

No I didn't think so ... ;)

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post. It wasn't directed at you, I understand you didn't post the results. Don't pop a valve, you're already on record as clearing yourself above and most sane people could see the progession of the thread ...

I was trying point out that the debate about whether to give others fair warning seems a bit pointless. It's just being considerate, nice board etiquette etc.
