    there are people out there who don’t watch races but still want to know who wins that might appreciate them.

    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.
