Another SPOILER!!!

Jake4 — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 10:18:37 GMT

I was looking forward to watching Vera Cruz fight recording this morning but the fight results was revealed next to the link to the main event recording. Seriously BT??? There are loads of posts on the Community of this kind of thing happening to other sporting events so it's not just an "occasional" mistake from the editing team. Sort it out! Give your useless team one of your work instructions. It's clear that they can't think for themselves without someone telling them exactly what to do! I would have happily inserted a screenshot of this but it's not possible..

On which app/device did you see it @Jake4 ?

Re: Another SPOILER!!!

Go ask your editing team. It's their job

OK, so you just came here to rant then. Not to ask for anything to be fixed.
Fair enough. 👍

I think I'm entitled to rant a little don't you think?

And it's too late to fix now when bt already spoiled it

Fill your boots @Jake4 , but if you don't provide enough information for us to do anything about it then nothing will change.

I knew BT were bad but are you really THAT bad. Nothing will change? Must try harder bt. I can vote with my legs when a provider does schoolboy mistakes like this. And the reason for this post is just to state my opinion of how bad you really are. Consider it a negative review/bad rating. Like 1 of 5 stars. Have a great afternoon everyone and enjoy this glorious sunshine!

We have 12 different platforms @Jake4 - I'm not going to search them all just to find what you may be referring to. It's also possible that it was a mistake that has been corrected already. Without you providing details, we'll never know.

Thanks for the feedback though.

I don't think anything has been fixed in the past either regarding this issue as based on the posts here, this happens time and time again - just do a simple search and you will see and your response is generally the same as well. Also a fix is something that prevents this kind of thing happening again and again. Thanks!

@Jake4

The BT mods on this forum do a great job resolving issues etc and the more help they get with constructive feedback the better they can do their job.

It wouldn't have hurt for you to just say BT Pro Box , BT app on iPad etc would it, then that way @DarrenDev would have passed that info back and maybe prevented another user in the future feeling as frustrated as you do.

Re: Another SPOILER!!!

There's a spoiler free version of that page here: https://www.bt.com/sport/ufc/spoiler-free-replays

Re: Another SPOILER!!!

Jake4 — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 16:58:55 GMT

And will you fix the page I mentioned?

Re: Another SPOILER!!!

DarrenDev — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 17:01:04 GMT

Nothing to fix as there's a spoiler free alternative available .

Re: Another SPOILER!!!

Jake4 — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 17:11:41 GMT

Nothing to fix??? The page says "Spoiler free Replays.." etc as a title and then underneath next to the link to the fight "x stops x with a brutal head kick"

Re: Another SPOILER!!!

DarrenDev — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 17:15:08 GMT

The link you provided has that on it. The spoiler free link that I provided doesn't.

Re: Another SPOILER!!!

Jake4 — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 17:16:50 GMT

Also if the user journey is log on to BT, click UFC from the menu, you get "spoiled" in the way I mentioned. Just test it. It's not great unless of course you know the workaround

@Jake4is correct in what he says. I've just looked at the 'home page' for UFC. It's alright saying there's a link to the 'spoiler free' content BUT that page definitely needs improvement as the result is already 'spoiled' by the wording to the video which takes up the same on screen space as the 'spoiler free' link, the same video which gives away the fight result and which is glaring you in the face.

@DarrenDevIn my opinion the UFC home page could be improved by having the links take prominence on it, possibly by having 'video' links (ie. a still image corresponding to each of the links across the top of the UFC home page section). That would take away the focus from what is revealed underneath, as that content would automatically get pushed further down the page, and would require the user to physically scroll down to find it.

I'm not trying to be critical of either opinion in this thread as both are equally valid arguments. I'd like to think that I am instead adding a third eye 'compromise' view which I feel could possibly keep everyone happy, and as a result tidy the page up a little so it doesn't contain 'spoilers' just as prominently as it currently does.

PS. don't shoot the messenger 😁
