Can I just please ask..

I don't want to sound like I am making a big deal out of nothing, but I enjoy waiting to Tuesday night to see who nominates who and when a spoiler is posted that takes the fun out of it.

Don't get me wrong I understand some people can't wait and like to talk about it, that's fine as they have the manners to do it in a thread entitled *SPOILER* which I and other wishing not to know know to avoid.

However some people would just hijack a normal thread and say something like 'Mr x nominated Mrs y this week' or 'This is why Mr X is up for nomination this week' etc.

Its only manners to warn people of a spoiler, and I'm sure people can understand that.

Thanks

That is a very good and fair point River.
I think it is probably quite thoughtless rather than intentional.
But if it's news released by channel 4, there's not much one can do...
A reminder such as this thread is a good thing, though.

Just opened Mr Meat and Potato Pie's thread and found at least one person nominated as it was a spoiler of not only who was up but who was saved. No spoiler warning in the title.

I thought it was just his opinion on the fact there is a chance to save ones self I think I might start to avoid the forum on a Tuesday..

Hi RR - I don`t know if there`s a way round it as people tend to forget that some people don`t want to know yet, particularly when the new updates automatically move most of the topics forward. I do sympathise though.

I think you'll find it difficult to stop spoilers considering most of the topics are about Big Brother and it was published on the official Big Brother site last night. I could understand if it were from a source leaked before it was officially announced, but considering the source is from the official site it's going to be difficult for people not to discuss the nomination and evictions. Just my opinion, but because of how Channel 4 announce it, it's actually announced the day before the highlights show.

I love spoilers I live for them

But they're not actually spoilers Gel, it happened 24 hours ago and it's came from the official BB site, plus the save task is happening now. So does that mean people are not going to bring it up in other threads, because things happen that's maybe relative to a discussion about a certain housemate, most people with live feed or reading the LUT are going to discuss it in threads as it may be related to their favourite or least liked house-mate. If it's an event that's happening now while we are watching it, it's going to be open for discussion and I can't see for the life of me how you're supposed to work around that..of am I being thick

I think it can only be classed as a spoiler if it hasn't been officially announced.

Once it's been announced via the ch4 site, or a press statement it's no longer a spoiler, imo.

But its just that I and I'm sure others want to wait to the HL show to see who nominates who.

But with the greatest respect RiverR and no malice intended, perhaps a forum isn't the best place to come to if you want the element of surprise. There is no way you won't stumble on something that will spoil it for you. For me I can't wait to hear the latest noms, so I love it.

Am I reading this wrong, the whole forum should not discuss in any thread yesterdays nominations, and what is happening on live feed now for the next 24 hours.

Because as far as I can see that's just impossible!

Its different this year tho. Noms are announced straight away and BB is putting everything up on the site and Twitter as soon as it happens. I understand where you are coming from but its impossible this year not to start discussing things as soon news comes up .

It's also on fb as soon as it happens as well

hard to et away from it this year, yet everyone was complaining non-stop last year over the livefeed and EVERYTHING

Never any happy medium with BB is there!

Yes Skylark, for example BB announced on facebook who had won the save and replace task straight away.

Now BB is on f/b and twitter and they are updating the Ch4 site so much it's going to be impossible to avoid them.

We've always had threads discussing live feed and if we are going to treat what's going on on the live feed (like todays task) as spoilers and not discuss them then we may as well pack up, coz that would leave us with nothing to talk about on the forum.

Ahh ok....TBF it's always the same even in previous years on BBGF we had Reverse Ferret posting nom results on DS and FM's letting us know.

As soon as it's plastered all over the official BB website front page, as far as I'm concerned it is no longer a spoiler and free for open discussion.
