Yesterday, a discussion about race results in thread titles became quite heated, so I decided to lock the thread.

Personally, spoilers don’t bother me. If I can’t watch a race live, I stay off my phone entirely until I’ve caught up. Since results are everywhere: TV, radio, and all over social media, avoiding them is usually up to the individual.

The current spoiler rule was originally implemented by three moderators (myself included) as the community grew. However, I am now the only active mod left, and I don’t want to be the sole person deciding whether to change this policy. Even if we change the rule, there’s always a chance someone will post a result in their excitement, and I won’t always be available to remove it immediately.

I’ve created a poll to let the community decide. It will remain open until this Thursday:

PS: I understand that disagreements can get intense, but please keep the conversation respectful. There’s enough negativity in the world already, let’s keep this community a positive place.

Edit: the results are in!

Rule number 3 will not be adjusted. Thanks for voting everyone!

    I think a good compromise would be what other comment suggested: have something like “The winnner of the Miami GP is …”. People who want to know can just click to see the post; people who don’t can simply skip.
