IMPORTANT: Absolutely NO Hints or Spoilers in Anime Threads (Details Inside)
There are a number of people familiar with the source material for this show, and so we would like to explain our expectations regarding spoilers.
FAILURE TO ABIDE BY ANY OF THE RULES IN THE SPOILER POLICY, AS CLARIFIED IN THIS POST, WILL RESULT IN AN AUTOMATIC ONE-DAY BAN ON THE FIRST OFFENCE. Subsequent offences will result in infractions and longer (including permanent) bans. 1. Do NOT post ANYTHING from or based-on the source material about future content in anime threads This means:
Generally, such discussion is permitted in only two threads: 1) the Source Material Discussion thread (Manga, Light Novel, or Game as appropriate) or 2) the Spoilers & Speculation thread. Limited spoilers are permitted in Character Discussion threads provided that they are clearly-marked and properly-labelled (see more information about that below). Limited spoilers are also permitted in the Q&A thread in direct response to a question, again provided that the spoiler is clearly-marked and properly-labelled. Images that contain characters and situations not-yet-animated are permitted in the Image Thread behind properly-labelled spoiler tags, so long as the image itself does not spoil the story, and any potential spoiler is not discussed in the Image Thread (more on that below as well). 2. ALL Comparisons of current animated content to the source material, or questions answered about current anime content based on source material information, MUST be in properly-labelled spoiler tags Properly-labelled spoiler tags means you must identify the NATURE of the spoiler:
Code:
[spoiler=comparison of episode 2 to the novels]my comparison here[/spoiler] Spoiler for comparison of episode 2 to the novels:
DO NOT place a spoiler tag without a label, and DO NOT use a poor label like "spoiler" or give away the spoiler in the tag label! The purpose of the spoiler tag is to help people make a decision about whether or not they wish to open the tag. When replying to a post that uses spoiler tags, please ensure the spoiler tags are preserved in your quote, and that your reply also uses properly-labelled spoiler tags. From this point forward, failure to either use a spoiler tag for comparisons, or to give it a proper label as defined above will result in the automatic ban. Please note that other acceptable and required uses for spoiler tags are outlined in the Spoiler Policy. This includes also information from official sites/blogs, and comparisons to other stories. 3. Do NOT otherwise discuss the source material inappropriately For example:
4. Do NOT use the spoiler tag for images or other things that aren't spoiler-related We have some new tags that can be useful to you:
5. DO REPORT any inappropriate spoilers you find Please use the Report Button to notify the site staff about any violations you find to the above rules in this or any other anime thread on the Forums (in any section). If you're not 100% sure, please feel free to report it anyway. All reports will be reviewed by the staff prior to any action being taken. Please do not reply to the spoiler in the thread or point out a spoiler in public, as this will only draw more attention to the spoiler. If you still have any questions or concerns about the Spoiler Policy, please visit our Spoiler Policy Q&A Thread, or contact a member of the staff. If you're not sure if a spoiler is okay or not, we recommend that you seek clarification first before posting (to prevent bans and accumulating infraction points). Thanks for your cooperation. |
