Just had box set ruined by a thread title- can we have a bit more curtesy please

So I have been watching a programme on box set and when it started on TV I stopped going on any websites that may give it away before I watch it. Only for me to see a spoiler in active thread as a title.

Have some consideration for other people please - there are plenty of threads on the programme that do not have spoilers in then title.

So cheers to whoever started the thread - I don't know who as am not opening it.

don't know how this can be stopped from happening again. Just wanted to vent really

@AnyFucker

I don't like Rick. He's a bandy-legged sanctimonious twerp.

He is really bandy. I only noticed it in the last episode.

DraculasDixieNormas · 29/10/2015 13:21

I don't like Rick much , wouldn't mind too much if something bit him

What was the spoiler? It's been 4 days and I've seen the episode (nothing happened apart from a couple of characters died but people are always dying in it)

limitedperiodonly · 29/10/2015 12:58

I don't do spoilers Grin

AnyFucker · 29/10/2015 12:45

Tell me that Rick gets it ?

limitedperiodonly · 29/10/2015 11:26

It depends what you mean by good AF TWD is very formulaic. Rick's posse do something that involves them in danger - like having sex in an abandoned pharmacy while going to get a pregnancy testing kit - they are assailed by a flash mob of the living dead but usually manage to fight them off because they conveniently come one at a time. Mostly.

Sometimes there is an irresistible swarm or a random lone attack but that generally only affects nameless characters or very annoying ones.

But we've culled the annoying ones and now have a core of people we don't want to die. That was what happened. Or did it...?

AnyFucker · 29/10/2015 09:09

Oops forgot any punctuation whatsoever in that post

AnyFucker · 29/10/2015 09:09

What happened then I can't summon up the interest to start watching the new season but if it's summat good l might try

DraculasDixieNormas · 29/10/2015 08:57

I could understand people being peed off a little because they hadn't managed to watch the night before but people like the op watching the box sets? fucking hell it's probably going to be next year before you manage to watch season 6

Lynnm63 · 28/10/2015 19:13

Jaxswagger I didn't see the original thread only this one. I didn't get the joke but I've not watched the series or im just dim.
Hope people weren't too horrible to you we've all done daft things.

Aussiemum78 · 27/10/2015 20:04

Yep that thread title pissed me off too. I haven't started watching season 6 yet

limitedperiodonly · 27/10/2015 17:59

I've been mulling this over all day and now I'm wondering if rich bastards who pay for TV shows before they go on Freeview deserve to have it spoiled and then be mocked for their disappointment.

In fact spoiling the show and rejoicing in subscribers' dismay could be considered a noble political act.

ArkhamOffitt · 27/10/2015 17:54

I'm only on Season 5. If I want to be on social media sites I have to run the risk of spoilers and suck it up if they appear.
Same with any series we watch.

lifesalongsong · 27/10/2015 17:33

I don't watch the programme and neither did I see the thread but I don't see why anyone would disagree that it's just common sense and courtesy not to give away the key points of a programme in a thread title be it the X factor/Bake Off/Apprentice winner or the murderer in a crime thriller.

OF course people are invested in shows they like, even if you aren't personally it sure doesn't take much thought to see that other people might be.

limitedperiodonly · 27/10/2015 17:31

SPOILERS!!!!

The country isn't safe. Look at what happened to Ed and Amy and the whole farm business.

ginslinger · 27/10/2015 17:25

Hey usual they escaped! To the ........COUNTRY

Furiosa · 27/10/2015 17:16

Awww jaxswagger I felt really bad for you.

I've PM'd the answer to your question though.

DraculasDixieNormas · 27/10/2015 17:14

I liked the deletion message before they changed it

jaxswagger · 27/10/2015 17:06

MN, I got the joke in the deletion message. It was funny. Smile

Once again, to everybody else, I apologize for the spoiler in the title. It wasn't till I pressed on the 'post message' icon that I realized what I'd done and that the message title in itself was one HUGE spoiler. Blush

A case of act in haste, repent at leisure?

Furiosa · 27/10/2015 13:57

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed

Doh! I totally didn't notice the the "coming to get you" reference in the original deletion message. Well done for pointing it out.

Good god, them in MNHQ are sharp aren't they?

Darkbehindthecurtain · 27/10/2015 13:54

Agree with ShowOfHands

Usual not everyone can watch a programme when it first airs surely you're intelligent enough to know that?
