@Byshop: Could you send me an example of what they think is a spoiler? I just want to give something concrete to the Content folks.

@Byshop: Thanks for the heads-up - I'll bang on them again.

@suicidesn0wman: That would only work with some images - we use the same images in a dozen (or more) different places, sizes, and aspect ratios, so we try to use images that will work in as many of those placements as possible. For that particular page, the aspect ratio makes the image difficult to work with.

@suicidesn0wman: Thanks for the suggestions. : ) The "real" fix is for us to not have images in such different aspect ratios based on a single original image, and that's in our list o' things to do for Q3.

@suicidesn0wman: With our publishing system, it's a little more complicated than that, but yes, this is an issue we're aware of and looking for a sustainable way to fix.

@elheber: Super helpful, our ad folks are on it. Thanks!

@suicidesn0wman: Can you verify if it's still happening? With the updated criteria, you shouldn't see it if you are either signed in or coming directly to the site (not via Google.) Try clearing cache to make sure.

@suicidesn0wman: We modified the criteria to not show for users who come directly to the site, so you shouldn't see them going forward.

@suicidesn0wman: And when it went dark, there was no modal window for following the game? (Sorry, didn't see your earlier message about hiding them manually.)

And what's your browser/OS?

@elheber: I believe it will send just one notification if you @-reply. I don't think edits will send further notifications. Thanks for the screenshot!
