[meta] Spoiler rule (lemmy.world)

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to have a rule to prevent race spoilers on this community till 24hrs after a race?

Given the nature of races being in a different part of the world every time, time zones vary greatly and it's not always possible to watch a race "live".

Personality I would like to stay subbed to this community, so I can get f1 news and posts when I browse Lemmy. But if it isn't possible to make a rule like that and I'm likely to get a spoiler I would have to either stop using Lemmy for 24hrs (oh the horror) or unsub from this community.

Just a thought.

Would your proposal only mean no posts that display race results in title or image within the first 24 hrs, or go further than that?

And does it need to be 24 hours? That's a long time. What is the longest period between ending time of a race and a normal waking up and watching a re-live look like? Here in Europe, I think with the Asian races it's like 5 hours tops.

I think titles/thumbnails only is a good compromise. We really don't want to kill discussion, but I have spoiled myself before by forgetting not to open Lemmy on a day where I was going to watch the replay and then immediately seeing "X wins Grand Prix" as a post title. Maybe it's as simple as titling something like "Race winner discussion" instead?

I think the longest time would probably be around 12 hours (24 was just me being conservative about it)

Thinking of a race that actually happens on Saturday and you can only watch it on Sunday.

Also I think you're on to something there, if we say: hey just on Sundays, don't post spoilers in the title and if you're posting a spoiler image mark it nsfw so it gets blurred out.

But why are you looking at an F1 community if you don't want to know anything about the race that happened up to half a day ago? I don't watch every race live but I just don't look at Lemmy or other sports news. Works perfectly well and nobody needs to tip toe around my lack of self control.

I'm not. I'm looking at Lemmy, I'm just subbed to the community so it appears on my front page.
