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!
Yes. I don't expect hundreds of people to cater to me if I didn't watch the race. If I didn't, it's my responsibility not to go on social media like a pillock.
