Hey all! @[email protected] and I wanted to give a quick update on the rules, since we received a couple of questions.

We’ve tried to clarify rule 3 a bit, now it reads:

3. Don’t spoil people in a way they can’t circumvent - that means no mentions in post titles/comments outside spoiler threads for:

  • comics spoilers about something that hasn’t happened in the show
  • TV show spoilers if it’s been less than a week since the episode aired

As you can see we’ve shortened the time a bit to allow better discussion after new episodes, and we’ve clarified how spoilers should be hidden.

What do you guys think? Does this work for everyone, or is something unclear?

A short aside, since this is the first real “moderator” type communication we’re putting out - WOW, hard to believe how the community has grown! Already more than 150 subscribers, and almost 500 people visiting last month. Thank you all for being a part of this, and for making the moderation such an easy job. You guys are amazing, we can’t thank you enough!

    Hey! You should add that during the first week after a new episode has been aired. Say for example that S3E5 just aired, you can make posts about S3E4 without spoiler tags (since it’s been more than a week since the release).

    Cool, thanks for the info, I like this change. It should give every enthusiast enough time to watch the most recent episode.

    I assume that comic spoilers should still have the [COMIC SPOILERS] in it’s title?

    Do you have any suggestions/is there something we overlooked?

    No, I think the decision is good. I’m a software developer, I always see if I can develop a spoiler tag for lemmy, but the discussion around it seems very extensive, so it looks like a complicated one to make haha.

    Thanks for the rule update, I like them.

      Yep, if it’s about something that hasn’t happened in the TV show yet, always put that in the title (or if it’s in a comment, but it inside spoiler tags).

      Thanks for the rule update, I like them.

      Awesome, happy to hear that!
