**** off into the event thread with your spoilers.

There isn't one.

I really do wonder about people browsing any sort of MMA websites, more than 12 hours after a fight has happened, and then get furious about seeing spoilers.

It's your own fault. Yeah people are technically meant to stick to specific threads but really if you're trying to avoid a result, just stay off MMA related online content.

Subcomandante Marcos

Or people could just follow the established rules.

wonder why so few can be bothered setting up an event thread?
I'd rather set up a thread than have a main event ruined here.

got an email from here this morning, no way was I reading it having not seen it.
It's almost inevitable that this will happen almost every time

"There isn't one" is a pathetic excuse...takes 2 seconds to make a thread and no reason people cant do it. People are fully aware of the rules about spoilers, if someone is going to post about the event and there isn't a thread just make one. Even if you stay off the thread you still get an email because someone decided it was clever to post about the results. It's not up for debate, the rule is there and people need to follow it, simple as that.

Excuse? I didn't post the result mate. I made the observation on someone getting all ratty because a result of a fight got spoiled on them. If you're online, the day after an event, reading MMA related content and come across the result then you've only got yourself to blame. If you're avoiding a result you should avoid all online activity.

As idiotic as reading about MMA news whilst avoiding the result of an MMA fight?

mailburner

I nearly posted about maurice greene being rubbish almost forgetting
the rules here.

some have deserved bans here in the past, these two lads didn't to be
fair to them, don't think spoiling the event was part of eithers agenda and
think they just didn't think about it before posting is all.

The same 5/6 lads set up 90% of the event threads here I'd imagine also which is suprising given it takes a minute to set one up.


who would want to be a mod eh?

You mean by purposely avoiding all media outlets while working all day and reading the one forum I know shouldn't have spoilers because it's in the ****ing charter and everyone knows it?

Get the boat, genius.

Please explain. I could do with a laugh

Btw well done for having scense of editing post where you spolit it for people after mod editing original post. Genius

mailburner

correct me if I'm wrong someone but weren't spoilers posted 2/3 events back meaning it was always gonna happen again?

avoid boards like the plague is my motto until all watched

As I've already said, I acknowledge the fact that technically results shouldn't be in this thread. But when I'm avoiding a result of something I'm clued in enough to know that you can get spoiled anywhere. I was avoiding the result of Cormier v Lewis a few months ago and was in my local shop and heard two lads talking about it. Sh*t happens. If I was avoiding results I wouldnt read anything online, much less an MMA dedicated thread. Genius.

No one said you did. But your first justification was there isn't an event thread - to set one up would have taken the same amount of effort as posting in this one in the first place and then avoided all this. Debating whether someone should or shouldn't come online the next day is irrelevant, the forum rules are really simple, don't post event spoilers then everyones happy and I even get to avoid the fight results myself without having to find out clearing up this nonsense...


Now BACK ON TOPIC FOLKS....

Costa's manager has denied it and Yoel rang Ariel to say he just heard it from someone but he didn't know if it was true or not. Chris Weidman has been sticking the boot in though.

Theresa got defeated again , Dana is a brexiteer

It's probably just Darren Till making weight that has Dana so happy.
