I'll take the Swiss route on this too. I agree with Koffee. Back in the "old days" there was a lot of tension in July and something needed to be done. What they came up with was about as good of a compromise as there was. You can still discuss the current day's stage, just in that pre-made thread. Pretty simple.
But I also agree with everyone who has said why would you come here if you're worried about spoilers, or at least don't look at the latest thread on the main page. I think those folks had foolish complaints in the first place.
But, this has worked well and, as expected, the forums are always evolving.
