It's a hidden post at the link above but is still readable ...don't click "show."

On edit: For the pie-throwers, those mocking my simple request, I can't unread it but wish I could. Although it's not of earth-shaking importance, maybe others do care and it's no skin off your nose anyway, right?

[Orrex]

1. To repeat: the linked (hidden) post contains a MASSIVE spoiler

Don't "show" the post unless you've seen the film or don't care about spoilers.

[bigwillq]

2. Folks should probably stay off the internet

If they don't want to be spoiled.

Yes, revealing spoilers is not nice, but that's the risk you take.

[hobbit709]

3. I can think of better things to get upset about.

It's a fucking movie for christ's sake.

want me to tell you how Titanic ends?

[pintobean]

4. Did you see the jury results?

Two posts down. Two jurors want the poster PPRed.

Dayum! Get a grip, people.

[hobbit709]

6. And I bet I can guess which group those jurors hang out in

Judging from other comments I've seen made about that poster

[Tipperary]

43. Talk about your first world problems lol!

[Jesus Malverde]

5. Lamest hide ever!....nt

[NCTraveler]

9. +1 nt

[B Calm]

10. +2

Now I'm going to read the spoiler.

[tammywammy]

7. I doubt they do anything

1. My basic position is this:

1. Not posting spoilers in subject lines is common courtesy.
2. If you want to avoid spoilers, you really shouldn't be hanging out on the Internet.

8. Stay off the internet...(Spoiler Alert)

If you don't want to know Hans Solo went the way of the Sanders campaign. Seriously. If it's as big as you say, which it isn't, it's public information and this is a discussion board. Seem to be very selective in what you want sensored and what you don't. The movie is out. Don't want to read about it? Don't go on the Internet. It's being discussed damn near everywhere.

11. Oh look, another spoiler + a dig at Bernie.

A veritable two-fer of fuckery.

h/t Amy Winehouse.

[NCTraveler]

14. I don't think we should discuss the debate here.

There are people with lives who went out with family and friends over the weekend and DVRed it for tonight. All current topics should have a one week moratorium on discussion. Winehouse was such a great talent.

[JonLeibowitz]

38. Spoiler: Hillary is a hawk and disrespected the 1st amendment by advocating curtailing encryption

But I think everybody expected that

[TexasProgresive]

12. You can do what I did

I trashed the words Star Wars. I used my back button to get to you OP but when I refresh I won't be able to see it anymore.

[AtomicKitten]

13. good idea but it wouldn't have caught this one

You'd have to filter out all the characters' names too.

[hobbit709]

15. do you go anywhere else on the internet or only DU?

It's all over the place. Even Yahoo had it on their home page at one point.

[AtomicKitten]

19. With a concerted effort I've managed to limit my internet use

... to remain spoiler-free. The poster didn't bother with posting a warning which is widely accepted internet etiquette and simple common courtesy, and would have prevented spoiling it for me and others who unknowingly clicked on it.

[Renew Deal]

16. The person should be tombstoned

That's a major spoiler.

[tammywammy]

17. Banned over a spoiler?

SMH.

[Renew Deal]

18. Yes

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. It's a hidden post, with the reply to it making it clear it's a spoiler

That's the only hide that member has had. That's really worth a ban, to you? Get a sense of proportion.

[Renew Deal]

27. It's proportional to the spoiler.

And that's a major one.

[hobbit709]

29. Did you hear about Titanic-everyone drowns.

[Renew Deal]

30. Not everyone.

http://m.dummies.com/how-to/content/some-of-the-last-surviving-titanic-passengers.html

That's not nice. I'm watching the Passion of the Christ tonight. You better not spoil it.

[hobbit709]

32. He gets nailed on a cross and dies.

And supposedly comes back but there's no proof of that.

[Renew Deal]

33. You're so mean!

[Codeine]

24. Dude.

Seriously, I'm the biggest Star Wars geek ever, but you don't banhammer people for a freakin' movie spoiler.

Even a Star Wars spoiler.

Want to avoid spoilers? Stay off the internet and go see the damned movie.

[Renew Deal]

26. Disagree

I saw the movie Thursday night. There are big spoilers and small ones. That's as big as it gets. Don't think that posting it is accidental. They knew what they were doing.

[Codeine]

39. I don't care if it's deliberate.

It's a spoiler. Spoilers don't violate the ToS. There's no banhammer justified here.

[pintobean]

36. Here's a hidden spoiler that should have resulted in a PPR

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027366133

[Renew Deal]

37. I gave that one away.

What was funny about that situation was people were running around saying that they were going to be banned, saying goodbyes, etc. I figured I'd play along.

[snooper2]

40. IT WAS HUGH!

LOL

20. I had that happen once, with a Survivor finale.

Had recorded it to watch the next evening, but during the day I was doing a Google search for something else & saw the winner's name in a headline. It was a bummer to know the outcome, but it just meant I watched the finale in a different way.

[marble falls]

21. I get it. I think you have a good reason to be miffed and have a legitimate request...

I was on your jury and I voted to let your comment stand. But it was a class touch for you to take the comment down yourself. You're one of the reasons I like being on DU.

Juror #1

[AtomicKitten]

23. Thank you for your understanding.

And for your kind words. Best regards.

[Renew Deal]

34. That brings up another point

Now the juries get spoiled too.

[MineralMan]

25. If you are concerned about spoilers, it's best not to click

on threads about whatever you are worried about. There are always spoilers posted. Just skip those thread.

First world problem, in spades.

[Renew Deal]

31. They didn't. That thread is about the debate.

[LynneSin]

28. What you didn't hear about the fact that Kylo Ren is really Jar Jar Binks???!!

Sorry if I spoiled that for you

[Lizzie Poppet]

42. Also: Katniss kills Dumbeldore...

...with the One Ring.

[Reter]

35. It's already Monday

There is no excuse not to have seen it yet if you are worried about spoilers and on social media.

[sudenlyseymour]

41. Wow, you really need to get a life.

Anyone who thinks a person should be banned for posting a spoiler really needs to get out of their mom's basement more often.

Why the post was hidden is also a complete mystery. I don't recall anything in the TOS about not posting publicly available information.

[LynneSin]

44. Personally I think anyone posting real spoilers here at DU are assholes

It's just a common courtesy to not post them or put a huge *** SPOILERS *** in the title so people know.

Star Wars is a very beloved movie by many of us here at DU and as much as I want to talk about all the interesting things that happened in the movie, I'd rather just wait a month or so until I know the bulk of DUers have had a chance to see the movie.

Because the spoilers in the movie are huge and I know when I saw the movie I was able to appreciate it even more knowing that nothing was revealed ahead of time to me.

But I will say that the second time that I saw the movie nothing was ruined knowing what happened but I did have to contain myself when I knew something big was about to happened because the friend with me was seeing it for the first time and I didn't want to spoil anything for her.

[tkmorris]

45. You just showed up 10 seconds ago, relatively

I'm amazed you've ever read the TOS, let alone feel like you have an opinion on the workings of DU that anyone should care about. Maybe it would be wise to take things slow and get your feet wet before chastising other DUers. Unless you are wearing socks of course.

[AtomicKitten]

49. #SPOILER ALERT#

Read the OP. Really, I'll wait ...

I never suggested anyone be banned.

[KamaAina]

46. Lighten up, Francis! Everyone already knows Darth Vader is Luke's father.

[Cal Carpenter]

47. How about getting showbiz/meta out of the main forums

as per the SOP?

(hiding the damn thread)

[Bad Thoughts]

48. Oh noes! I clicked show!

Sorry, but knowing what happens will not make it a worse film nor should it affect your enjoyment of the film.
