To tell the poster who spoiled Bake Off Final....

[MummBRaaarrrTheEverLeaking]

That they're a sad twat, clearly after attention by spoiling things for others and they need to get a fucking life?

I know, I know, a TAAT, but it's along the sentiments that I was going to put on their post but it was (rightfully) pulled before I could post and I just thought they should know what an utter dick they are as no doubt they'll read this.

As you were!

The amount of goady posters / trolls / zombies coming through at the moment is insane.

Although not a surprise, it still totally spoiled it. I was looking forward to catching up on that today - we had guests last night, so couldn't watch it.

Yes, it was just spiteful.

Presumably it was on mainstream telly last night though, so valid to comment on after the event?

when their post was removed, they did it gain straight after. It wasn’t just an accident or unthinking moment, it was a deliberate attempt to wind people up. So try not to let it get to you, because that’s exactly the reaction they were hoping for. Difficult, I know!

Oh god. Someone did this with The Mole which annoyed me as I was waiting to binge the whole thing but there's no point even starting it now!

However, the more we moan about it, or post threads complaining, then the more satisfaction we are giving them.

How did they find out the result before the live broadcast?

Missed this. Do you mean someone started a thread immediately after the winner was announced saying 'So X has won Bake off!' and then did it again after first thread was pulled? Pathetic, if so.

Yes they did. Two threads!

I missed BO last night because my ds was throwing up all evening but hey-ho will watch later despite already knowing the result.

You all realise it's just cake, right?

Not a spoiler if it's already aired, although a bit mean to post it.

I think there was 4.

What's that got to do with it? It's just basic good manners not to spoil other people's enjoyment of things.

Bruce Willis is a ghost as well

Not technically a spoiler, but given many people will have been watching on catch up after putting children to bed and the like, really inconsiderate (at a minimum). Others have said this person started four threads all on the same lines, so I'm guessing troll.

what in Die Hard?

No, silly. In Moonlighting.

Definitely a troll, and an asshole but still not a spoiler. The risk you take going online when you want to watch something that's already aired.

I suspect it was a sad, pathetic incel. There is one around today, posting.

Missed those threads - and I haven't seen who won yet

But if the show was already aired, then not a spoiler

Did they put the name in the heading?

Seems petty and mean to spoil it for other people. I remember coming out of the cinema years ago and there was a queue outside on the pavement waiting to get in to the same film (this was in the olden days😃). A man who had just seen the film shouted 'It was the wife!' (I won't say which film.) I was raging on behalf of those people waiting to get in. Horrible thing to do.

Out of interest what is the MN requisite amount of time after airing for a spoiler to no longer spoil?

If it was posted after broadcast then it's not a spolier at all, and fair game to comment online and it's on the person who hasn't watched yet to keep away.

What you wouldn't expect is to be spoilered during another programme in the same evening which happened once to me when I watched MOTD live and was planning to watch the Strictly I'd recorded afterwards, and Gary Likeker gave away the Strictly winner on the programme.

Also the winner this year was hardly unexpected. Barring a massive fuck up it was only going to be one person.

Embarrassingly I've seen up to the past two weeks and I don't know who you're talking about. Clearly not paying attention!
