Spoiler:
People that post source material spoilers mixed in with just aired material, without announcing it, are awful people. It's not just nan, but almost every time I notice it, it is. I don't understand people that are so into a show they seek out actor interviews to get snippets of what might happen in an un-aired episode, but to bring it to a forum and post it in the clear is nut kick worthy.
No, it wasn't. I am actually not sure of the post that you are referring to.

I was on another board reading a thread about a show that I watch and it was just post after post of the spoiler tag. You had to click on each one to read the post. ... It's a thread ABOUT THAT SHOW!!! If you do not want to know what happened why are you reading a thread ABOUT THE SHOW?!?!?

It is like... Have the Game Day Thread require the spoiler tag in case someone taped the game but has not watched it, yet they decided to come to the board and look at the GDT... They will find out what happened in the game before they get to watch it.

Yeah, sports are pretty easy. The only way really screw that up is to be vindictive and edit an early post with the box score. That'd be some evil stuff.

As far as LGP goes I think we are really good with spoilers for the most part. If a show has a dedicated thread (such as TWD) it is understood that anything show related does not need a spoiler. Comic info does need a spoiler.

So it's the Star Wars of TV, then?*

*Someone called The Walking Dead the SW of TV during S3, wish I could remember who said that.

I'm wondering, since there's so much talk about them and now that SOA is over, would they be worthy of their own thread?

Threads cost money. I think. Can't figure out why someone wouldn't do such an obvious thing, otherwise.

I do agree that when a particular TV show starts to take up over ~40% of the conversation in a given thread, it's probably time for it's own thread.

RAID 0.
Maybe not irrational as it's caused me a lot of grief since a customer decided to use it in lieu of a RAID 5 or 6 for whatever reason.

When I am leaving a hockey game... People laying in crosswalks yelling "I am somebody" Technically, you are a speedbump right now.

When the player photo array in the Penguins' game program shows a recently acquired player in their old team's jersey. Someone can't spend 15 minutes to shoop a new jersey on that picture?

Yeah, until last week, I thought RAID 0 was something you just learned about in school or something you only used if nesting RAID arrays.

Oh, backups hadn't completed since September 22nd, so there's that too.

How about when you unsubscribe and then keep getting the emails anyway? Love that. I get much better success if I just update my preferences with an invalid email address.

If they're persistent and don't respond to unsubscribe I mark it as Spam in Gmail. I *assume* that if enough people do that it flags it as spam for everyone and their business will go under. ;)

unsubscribing from emails is just annoying from some companies.

also, putting fliers on the windshield of my car should be considered littering.

British accents on anyone other than a British character. Marco Polo is ridiculously guilty of this.

People who show up for a noon meeting (separate peeve) at 11am.

I have stuff I need to get done in my day. I have set the agreed time to meet with you. 5 min early- ok. I don't have an extra hour to babysit you.

I just read a netflix movie review that starts with the reveal at the end of the movie. No "spoilers ahead" warning. Grinds my gears I tells ya.
