where did it say there was a rule that you couldn't post olympic spoiler messages in the subject top

[gopiscrap]

I just got a post hidden by the jury, and if there was an alert to all DU members then I could understand, but I didn't see any alert....so I feel this decision was unjustified!!!!!!!!!

1. When the owner/administrator of this forum states clearly it is potentially a TOS-level offense.

You might want to take hint from his not so indirect messaging to a repeat offender.

Or post your GBCW thread, now. Just sayin....

2. Not everbody reads through every fucking message

it would be helpful if there was some sort of blanket alert posted through the course of the games so as not to offend the sports nuts on here who care more about a stupid sporting event than what is actually going on that could affect society.

3. Skinner has given MIRT permission to act on those who do so intentionally. I'm merely warning you

It has always been the case that spoilers are not announced in subject lines. Common decency for major events like the Olympics that are broadcast in multiple timezones.

As for your complaints, feel free to take it up with Skinner. I'm merely trying to let you know.

5. Possibly the dumbest post ever...

Especially in the sports forum.

4. There isn't such a rule here

I wouldn't post spoilers myself but understand that if you don't want to see spoilers, don't come to a sports forum.

6. They were posting it in GD

10. I know

I was just letting him know he can post spoiler here without problems from jury or admin(AFAIK).

7. there is no list of rules that gets a post hidden

Posts are hidden based on community standards, not a list of rules. Today, the community got tired of people deliberately posting spoilers in subject lines in GD.

8. It's on the same list that prohibits posting pictures of hairy assholes.

It would be the list of common sense expectations of an online community that are so obvious that they should need to be explicitly spelled out.

That's where.

9. In a political community

you would expect folks to care about politics and not make some stupid gaming event sacrosanct.

11. It's not limited to politics. nt
