Is it possible to have some sort of amendment to site rules that reminds people that revealing the result of a major sporting contest (or even the result or plot of a TV show) in the title or first post of a thread is incredibly antisocial and discouraged on AB?

It's not exactly rocket science to have a title that says, for example, "Murray Match" with an OP that simply says "Spoiler Alert".

Then you reply to your own thread with "Andy still Scottish after he tanks again" or "Andy the Brit rides on" as appropriate.

We've got the Cricket World 20/20 soon and then the Olympics later this year - both in time zones that mean people will want to watch recordings rather than 'live'.

Perhaps a banner saying "don't spoil it for others" over the Sport and/or News sections wouldn't hurt?
