As far a I can see F1 has spoilt its self it be come boring shame the guy posted it up but to be honest I recorded it and if I miss the race I miss
it.
More important things in life happen.
at 7:15 Saturday morning I recieved a call telling me my Brother had died in the night. 
That throws everthing out of the window as I can see about F1.
Life is just poo sometimes, we learn to live and get on with it.

I think this might have got a little out of hand as the OP replied to the initial gently worded comments with a large dollop sarcasm rather than
apologising for not knowing the 'rules' (or etiquette).

So, this then got a few people's backs up and the red mist descended.
I absolutely hate it if I see a spoiler for MotoGP as I really look forward to the races and often record it so as not to conflict with family
matters.
But as another post has so sadly pointed out - at the end of the day, it's just a race and there's way more important stuff to get irate
about that doesn't involve slagging each other off.
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure

To be honest it was the sheer hostility that I objected to and found disappointing. Totally out of proportion.
I would also tend to agree that, if you don't want to accidentally find out the result of a worldwide sporting event then you should stay well
away from the TV, Radio, Internet, Social Media, friends, family etc. as much as possible.
Not everyone can watch every event live and it is certainly annoying when you find out the result like this but if you are really an F1 fan then the
enjoyment probably comes as much from the back-story and the racing as it does from the final result. In fact 2 weeks ago in the Australian GP I
enjoyed the build-up more than the entire race and result but that's another story... 
Anyway condolences to TrolleyJack for your loss.

I was as mad or madder than anyone I saw posting once I saw the thread title, but I resisted coming into the thread till I had time to watch the race.
I was hoping you guys were giving him what for.
Yes, it completely spoiled the last part of the race for me. It could have gone a couple of ways and you'd have been on the edge of your seat,
but as it was I almost just turned it off.
I think it's only common sense and good manners not give away any of the bigger moments of a race in this DVR age. It doesn't matter if
it's a week later.
"Boy I was happy & surprised at the outcome of the F1 race!" or something like that wouldn't have impacted as many
people's lives. I'm on many car forums and this is the only thread posted in any of the forums I'm on anywhere in the world.
I drive therefore I am.

Get a grip, what rules were broken by it?
Where as swearing and name calling are blatant rules broken.

If it impacted your life that much maybe you should just stay off the internet until you have watched the race.
I can't believe that so many people are treating this like crime of the century. Get a grip!

The point is that no where else on any of my internet car forums was someone rude enough to spoil it for so many people.

Rude no, inconsiderate or naive maybe.
As said in the scheme of things it immensely trivial .
As for moderation I for one think generally this forum needs little as most behave like adults and play nicely

No this thread should stay to show up those that have overreacted.
I frequent quite a few forums and almost inevitably due to their very nature of remote conversations, there will be disagreements that can end up in
abuse from both parties. At that point I usually stop posting.
The ridiculously huge number of posts I've made show that this place is one of the nicer places on the internet.
It is a shame that a minority have let the site down.
If not knowing the results of any competitions is that important, don't go on the internet, don't listen to the radio nor watch TV,
don't read your texts, don't answer any phone calls, stay indoors to avoid seeing any newspapers and don't talk to anyone. (anything
missed out?)

This is the internet. If you dont want to know a result stay away from as much as possible.
forums - no
facebook - no
twitter - no
news websites - no
tv - no (unless you know news isnt on)
I always try to watch it live but once couldnt, had dodged the result all day, listening to the radio about a mile from home in world of my own news
came on and gave me the result...luckily it was a boring race
