Then allow me to make a point. Sports are boring. Lots of people here think so. So we downvote sports posts... to discourage people from posting them. Well, I don't usually (they are only really problematic when they are numerous), but this one contained a score in the subject line, and that is clearly annoying even to those who do like sports, because it potentially ruins the game for them.

So? Are they also complaining to editors of news programs they watch? If you don't want to know what's going on in the world, maybe you should skip places where current events are being discussed. It's that simple.

If they are about to broadcast the match after the news, they do tell you to look away before they report the scores...

Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

[Mladen Jankovic]

Heh, not here, mate. Anyways, nobody broadcasts the match over this site, so there's no need to apply this little rule of yours here.

It would still be courteous of you not to post the results of sporting events as the subject title of your messages. Even if it is unlikely that somebody might see the results of a match they had recorded at home because they were at work while it was on, but decided to take a quick check in the CP Lounge before going home to see what people are up to.

"Mob mentality" would better be applied to sporting events. But, yes, the Lounge is a community area with etiquette and mores.

The common courtesy is to mark the subject with "[sports]", "[football]", "[soccer]" or what have you so that others know to ignore the thread. The less common courtesy is to just not post sport threads.

I think it was José who tried to be the spoiler, and it didn't work for once.
