As you all should realise, if you've been spoiled in any way, please inform the hosts. We'll discuss and work with you to make the best decision going forward. If you need to be removed from the game, please don't see it as a penalty. It's just a means of keeping this game honorable and pure, like my soul. It has been brought to my attention that CBS promos indicate who may be the first boot this season. I would advise that you avoid such promotional material, as last season was a bit painful in that regard. I know it can be difficult to avoid promos, and even other discussion. I myself stumble upon it innocently and never know if it's real or not (for instance, I read on an EW article in the comments section that Sherri was going to win Caramoan, and she did make the F3 that season). It's even more difficult to avoid CBS's own material, which lately has been dubious in giving away info to those who really pay attention. If you do feel you have been spoiled, inform the hosts. Most of the time, knowing whoever is booted is not a major thing by way of giving you a leg up anyway, but if we keep everything above board, we can all enjoy the season and this game to it's fullest extent.  |

I avoid spoilers like the plague. I had someone spoil the end of Australian Outback to me when I was in school, and I actually hit him for it. I'm also not observant enough to recognize spoilers from promos and such.

Spoilers are literally the worst thing. People who spoil things for others are the worst kinds of people.

I managed to get through Blood vs. Water unspoiled, and I want to keep the streak going.

Think most people overreact to spoilers. The fact all "spoilers" are taken as fact immediately should say enough.
Last season I was spoiled to when Aras was losing the duel. I had Aras in my tribe ad chose not to trade him/take advantage of the spoiler. Without that knowledge I would have kept him so why should the word of some Internet rando mean that much?

Think most people overreact to spoilers. Says the guy who purposefully spoiled 10 people last season  Spoilers in any capacity, even if they're misinformed spoilers ruin the viewing for people because they make you watch with expectations, and if they're wrong and you get mildly surprised, it doesn't stop you from being disappointed up until that point. It's like you're rewatching a season rather than seeing it the first time. |

And you immediately believed it? Ergo, my point has been proven.
Spoilers ruin the viewing for some people. I couldn't give a rats if I know what's happening or not.

But...it's not a matter of believing you or not. You actually spoiled me. The F3 you listed were the fucking F3 of the game.
And if you can think of a reason to purposefully ruin something for someone else, then you probably fall under that description from my first post.
But whatever.

Guys, we're not discussing the ethics around spoilers. This is not the forum for it.
No spoilers at all. Clear cut. If you think you've been spoiled, tell the hosts.
Pretty simple, huh?
