I hate to be "that guy" and I know I'm not a mod, but can people try to refrain from spoilers? We don't get Raw live on the west coast, and it sucks to go on the boards and have almost every segment spoiled in some way just looking at topic titles. I came home and right off the bat knew that Miz's cash in was a fake out, etc. Kinda kills the excitement.

I think this has been discussed before and the general consensus was that once it airs anywhere in the United States, it's good for discussion. Not that I totally agree with that but few people are going to restrain themselves for the sake of the west coast.

I figure that's what the Raw discussion threads are for untill then , at least make the titles not have spoilers. I mean "Miz on Raw *spoilers*" would get the job done just as well as "Miz fake out cash in"

I tried to start a thread just for us west coasters, so that we could have a sort of "safe haven" on the boards to talk about the shows without spoilers. Unfortunately, it didn't catch on :B
Yeah, it's frustrating having to avoid the forums from 6 to 11, though. I figure there's nothing much we can do about it, though :/

As a former mod, it'd be AS unfair to the majority to disallow discussion for just the West Coast contingent.
The active staff already tends to ( at least they did when I was modding and can't imagine that it's stopped) close/delete/lock specific threads at least while the show is going on and keeping it confined to one discussion thread; but once the show's over, it is and in my opinion should be, fair game.
Once something's aired for the majority, it's no longer a spoiler. I get how that would be a bit of a downer to refrain from coming on till you've seen it too, but ya know the deal, it's the same as if you hadn't seen a ppv yet; there's no way to make sure to wait until everyone possible has witnessed something.

You could always just move out East.  |

Life on the west coast is a lifestyle choice I don't approve of. First they wanted the legal right to live there, now they want things marked for spoilers just for them. What's next, letting them marry?

You could always just move out East. Yeah, I live in sunny San Diego... pass on that. I know it'll be a losing battle since we're like the ONLY ones who don't get it live, just sucks having to avoid the boards untill I finish watching it. |

I don't know what cable providers everyone's using, but I live on the west coast and RAW airs live. I didn't even realize this was out of the ordinary.

I think it's live on Direct TV, but on Cox, we get it a 9 PST.

So instead of sitting on the internet on a wrestling message board, why not go out and enjoy sunny San Diego til the show is on? |

I do, I go to evening classes and come back to watch Raw and browse the boards a lil, I dunno, guess I figured spoiler tags wouldn't be that big of a deal. |

Seems like if you know that the boards are going to spoil the show for you, you would just not visit the WWE board until you've watched RAW. But I do agree, people need to stop putting spoilers in the thread titles so soon after something airs.

As a Californian Mod who doesn't see any shows until the westcoast airing myself, my only advice is to stay off the board until you've seen it.

Avoid the WWE forum until you've watched it? Simples.

I live on the west coast and don't have any problems.
Granted it's the west coast of Michigan but still.

pretty much what cornfed said if i dont get tuesdays off work, every raw is spoiled for me as soon as i log in, and i dont get to watch raw until thursdays uk repeat (if i miss the live ones due to it being on at 2am.).
sadly nothing can be done about it.
