Default Spoilers - Time frame

Anytime you post a thread that includes race results or any spoiler, you should name the thread the name of the race and clearly mark spoilers.

do not put any results or any other information in the subject of the thread.

its that simple.

if the race is over a year old, then you can not worry about it.

So basically EVERY THREAD should be marked SPOILER?
Oh that makes a lot of sense...

And for the record, the thread title of mine you changed, that was rather childish.
The thread title was called '06 F1 Season Results. There was NOTHING in the Title about Renault winning, and a reader would have to be completely stupid to open a thread called ''results" and not expect to see results.

I didn't change titles.

and yes everything should be titled

"Race Name *SPOILER*"

It's not that hard.

I?ve got to agree that you?d have to be pretty dense to go to a ?F1 Season Results? thread and not expect to have results ? the problem is the guy who will post a thread ?Woooo Renault wins Constructors!!!??They?re out there.
Oh THANKS. Now I might as well not bother watching that tape I made this weekend. Way to go....

Hey, it is YOUR OWN FAULT, this thread clearly has the word "Spoilers" in it.

Dude are you serious? If so I'm really sorry. I'll admit i can't understand even coming close to this section if you haven't watched the race - but I'm really sorry for having revealed the result.

(BTW I frequently have to watch a race after the fact when I'm out autocrossing or at a track day. I stay the heck away from Sportscenter etc - touch cause I'm a huge sports fan. I even had to watch this race late Sunday because I went back to NYC to watch the NY Giants, and guess what?..An ESPN radio update revealed the winner on my drive up in the AM before I could turn it off!).

Oh man, it has been killing me to not do it. I have fought against all the nay sayers since '03 when Fernando won the Hungaro Ring, by lapping Michael Scumacher. And to not only have him take the title but to have him secure Renaults win, well what can I say....
I think it's clear I'm not a FA fan per-se, but I don't get all the people actiing like Kimi was driver of the year. IMHO no one had a more flawless season than FA. He seems like an amazingly talented and cool headed driver. He basically had 3 mistakes all season, Germany (won), Montreal (out) and qual in Hungary. That's it. I've seen MS make more mistakes in one race!
