Did you read the thread before making your complaint?  doob apologized
more than once.  Your post does not acknowledge that fact.

That being said, "unlabeled spoiler" has become virtually the norm
here.  Not to say this is a good thing, nor a bad thing.  It's just
the thing this season.

My guesstimate is, a lot of this is because so few people are posting
this time, one gets the kind of intimate feeling in which no secrets
are kept.  Thus this is the first time you posted here this season.
It's hard to protect your preferences when no one knows you exist.

I believe also that CBS's schedule contributes to the  "unlabeled
spoiler."  HOH is determined generally on Wednesday; noms are on
Sunday; the POV ceremony/noms finalization comes on Tuesday.  But that
on-air schedule wildly betrays reality this season, with the four day
gap.  The final noms are known off-air before the on-air noms happen.
It gets hard to remember that this old-news really is not-yet-news.

But whatever the reason, in prior seasons there have been  "unlabeled
spoilers" aplenty.  It's just a part of the way things work in Usenet.
The best thing for a reader to do here, or in any equivalent group, is
either:  1) accept spoilers will happen, or 2) avoid the group until
after the event has been broadcast.
