[Rule Update] Total Separation of Book and Show Discussions
Hey everyone,
As we get closer to the end of this Season—and eventually the Series Finale—the lines between show discussion and book discussion are getting too blurred. To protect show-only viewers from accidental (or intentional) spoilers, we are updating our rules.
🚨 The New Rule
There is no longer a distinction between "Book Spoilers" and "Book Discussion." All book talk is now strictly prohibited everywhere on the Sub, EXCEPT inside posts that start with [Books] in the title and use the "Book Spoilers and Show Spoilers" flair.
What counts as "Book Discussion"? Essentially any mention of the books. If your post or comment contains the word "book," it belongs only under the designated [Books] flair.
🛑 Why We’re Doing This
We’ve done our best to stop users who drop future plot points while pretending to just make "casual guesses," but those fake theories ruin the experience for everyone. The simplest way to protect the community is to completely SILO (pun intended) book talk from show-only threads.
⚠️ A Quick Heads-Up on Recent Posts
In the past day, we've noticed users choosing the "Show (No Book Discussion)" flair, but then referencing the books in their post text or comments anyway. This confuses other members and forces the mods to step in to remove comments, update flairs, or delete threads entirely.
We know this is a shift, so we’ll cut everyone some slack while we all get used to the change. Please help us out by double-checking your thread flairs before posting!
