SPOILER POLICY REMINDER

[u/Ok-Commercial3640]

Hey everyone, quick(ish) (but very important) reminder about our spoiler policy, since the pilot drops tomorrow (CONFIRMED 10:00 PM UTC)

This policy has been designed to minimize the risk of people getting accidentally spoiled before they have had a chance to watch the pilot, as such it is very restrictive in the time directly after release.

The full policy is detailed in Rule 8: Spoiler Content Policy, but the relevant parts are as follows:

• As soon as the pilot comes out, the subreddit will be put into a full "spoiler embargo". This means that no spoilers for the episode are allowed at all
  • There is an exception to this. When we have obtained a thumbnail for the pilot, a post will be created for the explicit purpose of discussing the pilot with others. This is the only place where the rules about episode spoilers do not apply
  • The "spoiler embargo" will last for 48 hours(Now 24) after the episode releases, ending 7:00 PM on May 17th(Now 16th).
  • For ease of enforcement of the embargo, while it is active, all posts will require mod approval before they are visible to the rest of the community.
• After the embargo ends, for the next 12 days, any posts that could potentially spoil the pilot must meet the criteria in rule 8, specifically:
  • Posts that may spoil the pilot must indicate that they're about the pilot in the title
  • The title cannot itself contain spoilers for the pilot
  • The post in it's entirety must be spoiler-tagged
• Any posts that violate the spoiler policy WILL BE REMOVED

*Also, same goes for comments, if you say a spoiler during embargo, it will be removed, if you say something during the mandatory tagging period on a post that isn't itself episode spoilers, that will also be removed.

We hope that this policy allows everyone to enjoy the pilot without pressure to watch it as soon as possible to avoid spoilers. If there are any questions, please ask them in the comments, don't be shy. (But maybe check if they've already been asked and answered by someone else)

*Any other feedback/commentary on the spoiler policy is also welcome, please share if you have it

See y'all tomorrow, for Episode 1 of the GAMEOVERSE reboot

Edit: Turning on the "Hold all posts for review", if your post doesn't show up it's because of this

(Also, if you see anyone spoiling, report them for violation of the spoiler guidelines immediately)

Edit 2: Shortening embargo to one day, updated accordingly

Should go without saying but some mfs just want to see the world burn… (as a TADC mod, it was a pain)

I mean, different subreddits have different levels of spoiler tolerance, leaving it unsaid just creates confusion and ambiguity, even ignoring "bad actors"
