The problem is that with results in the tiles, I can have the race spoiled by simply browsing my subscription or all feeds. I understand why rule 3 exists, because you cannot expect a post blackout simply because someone might have the race result spoiled. That’s why the “Race Results” threads are great; the title doesn’t give anything away, and the content therein can spoil away.
With results in the title, I have to avoid using Lemmy (as is the case with Reddit) overall. I want to subscribe to and participate in /c/formula1, but with results in the post titles my choice is to unsubscribe and block.
I have resorted to staying off social media completely on any race weekend I can’t watch live. Sucks that it has to be that way but that’s the way it has to be, I guess.
I don’t really understand who these posts are for, but I guess enough of an argument can be made that there are people out there who don’t watch races but still want to know who wins that might appreciate them. I don’t know. Enough of a reason for the mods to allow them at least.

Sure, and an earlier post from the same user titled “2026 Miami Grand Prix race result and championship points” is perfect. I don’t expect a news blackout, I only expect spoiler-free post titles.
I agree. The mods evidently don’t. Maybe the type of person who don’t watch races but still wants to know who wins only wants to skim the title and not actually open the post and therefore appreciates this exact format? Maybe that’s the angle?
I think rule 3 exists because the mods (rightly) know that there’ll always be someone complaining about spoilers no matter what. It’s a CYA rule by necessity.
But a request to not post results in titles is a very minor compromise. Allows for spoiler-filled discussion within posts, but allows for spoiler free when browsing Lemmy ‘subscribed’ or ‘all.’ I’m afraid my course of action if results are in titles is to unsubscribe and block communities/users who post, and that does not help Lemmy or the individual communities grow.
