Should we post Olympics updates that might be spoilers?

Being 8 hours removed from London I realize it's a lost cause for me, so I don't care. In a way it's good -- means I can pick and choose the events worth watching. There's already been some drama regarding Michael Phelps today but I won't mention it until we've come to a consensus.

Don't put results in the subject line.

But if anyone really doesn't want to know a result, they should unplug all together.

I won't get angry if I see spoilers but all I have is NBC so whenever they decide show events is when I get to see them.

I would start a post that says, "There's already been some drama regarding Phelps" then those who want to spoil the result can click.

I just don't see any point in worrying about spoilers. The info is available in real time and you can get it from your phone, tablet, laptop or TV immediately. Just my opinion.
