DON'T WANT TO KNOW PICKS AHEAD OF TIME?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 4/25/2019 7:25 pm
I suggest not being on BBI tonight.

Every year, some posters complain about this. If you don't want to know, get off of the site.
I found a hack

Just read the BBI draft thread on delay. You can still read the thread a few picks behind and follow the conversation, it'll be mostly relevant.
I want to know now - is there a thread for that?

what to do.
Can we do a no spoilers thread for picks?

I think we did that a few years ago one year, where theres discussion but people go based off the live tv announcements

I suggest you simply stay off of the site during the draft.
No

Think of it. If you added a delay we could all be an asshat for a day

No, it's not.

But there comes a time you just don't want to listen to the bitching.
The site used to have two draft threads  
steve in ky : 4/25/2019 7:45 pm : link
One for draft with spoilers and another one for those watching along with the television.
Thanks Eric

answer is simply to stop refreshing the BBI draft thread as the Giants get close to picking. Then refresh after the pick is made. That's what I do.

That's much better advice than "get off the site". I don't mind the twitter-ettes "spoiling" other picks, but after the team before the Giants pick, I simply stop refreshing BBI and wait for the TV announcement.
I don't know

Many people (especially old-timers like me) prefer to hear the commish read the pick rather than have a random poster tell us the pick.

Doesn't matter for other teams, but it does matter for the Giants' picks.

Easy fix. Get off BBI during the draft. (And the net)

Seriously.

It's not that hard to figure out.

Why would you visit a sports forum much less an NFL one if you don't want spoilers?

You might want to push push AcidTest’s advice instead:

Stay on the site. Just stop refreshing it a few minutes before the Giants pick if you don’t want your surprise spoiled.
