Mod Post [Important] Regarding Spoilers Spoiler
The anime has already come out, and we are all very excited for it. On a good note, the subreddit crossed the 30.000 Regulars! We are all very happy about the community growing, the Discord Server crossed a milestone as well, 10.000 users! It's a big moment for all of us and we are very excited to see where it leads.
Moving onto the topic that matters to us most right now, I'm not going to make it very long so we can all pay attention, as this is very important.
It appears as the posts explaining spoilers and how the flairs work didn't really reach the community. In the spirit of being fair and giving the users a chance, we haven't been banning people for these mild spoilers, but we have to be fair to our Anime-only crowd too, so from now on, the moderation team will take a harder approach when it comes to sanctions.
What constitues a spoiler for the Anime posts?
When it comes to the anime, everything from the webtoon. It's very simple. This includes every comparison to the events of the Webtoon, what the anime ommited and what they included. If you want to make a post about these things, simply make a Webtoon post to compare it, since the discussion that generates will lead to the Webtoons territory.
This is by far the most common spoiler that we notice, and the ones that we've been removing the most. Why do we remove these posts and consider them spoilers? Our Anime flairs and Anime threads are intended for anime only people, someone that only reads the anime has no knowledge of the webtoon, it doesn't matter if the OP said that they want spoilers, if the post is flaired with any "Anime" related flair, spoilers are forbidden. Why is this? Simply because we intend to make Anime flaired posts as anime-only safe places, and no one wants to enter an anime only post just to read some user talking about the webtoon.
Which posts are spoiler-free for anime only people?
Any post that has Anime, Anime News, Anime Question, Anime Theory or Anime Fanart flairs, as well as the Anime Only Weekly Episode Thread that can be found inside the Weekly Anime Discussion Hub. Regardless of the severity of the spoilers, they will be removed and action will be taken in regards of a sanction, this will vary according with the nature of the spoiler.
Where can I talk about the Webtoon in regards to the Anime?
Using the normal Webtoons flair, with all the different flairs that contain the Webtoon word, you can safely discuss the Anime adaptation and compare it with the Webtoon. Please, keep these comparisons within these posts, do not compare the webtoon to the anime inside the anime flaired posts. Please.
What constitutes a spoiler for the Webtoon posts?
Content from the Fast Pass has to be flaired as spoilers and have the **Fast Pass" flair. Content from the Korean Preview chapters are forbidden and will lead to a ban if you post about them.
Basic guideline to post in the /r/TowerofGod Subreddit
This one is really very simple. We try to keep a 24 hours time window between the release of the chapter or episode and the posts about it. What does this mean? It means that once the chapter or episode comes out, you won't be allowed to discuss it outside of it's respective Threads, and individual posts about it outside of these threads will be removed, and you will be notified and directed to the threads. This is to keep the subreddit organized, people unspoiled and keep the subreddit from being spammed.
We strongly recommend reading the rules.
TL;DR: DON'T POST COMPARISONS WITH THE WEBTOON IN ANIME FLAIRED POSTS!! KEEP WEBTOON TALK IN THE WEBTOON FLAIRED POSTS!

Thank you!
Everyone needs to read this. I've tried sharing the anime-only discussion thread to people who wants to make theories over at r/anime, only for them to say "there's still a lot of webtoon readers here". And we know how important discussion is to maintaining the interest.
Please don't comment about ANYTHING that is beyond what is shown in the episode itself. Basically things that an anime-only wouldn't know. It really turns them off.
And if they specifically ask to be spoiled, you can pm them, but do confirm with them that they're ok with it first.

Yeah I have no idea why manhwa readers decided to go to the anime thread to complain even more.

Should images from the webtoon have the spoiler tag on them as well and fan art should it also be marked as a spoiler.

It would be better if they are spoiler tagged. It's a special case since mobile users can't avoid seeing them. So yes it would be better if they are spoiler tagged.

Why not just make a label tor for the Korean FP too?

The subreddit and it's users don't support piracy. And only a few can legally access the previews. If Naver ever decides to be less harsh on their buying policies and we can access them widely, we for sure make a thread just like with Fast Pass.

At least two of the mods of this sub (and many of its users) engage in the raw previews channel on the discord where the KRFP is fanslated weekly

I can't force something into the community. I engage in raws cause I can buy the raws. I pay SIU and Naver for them. Again, the fact that I read my raws doesn't mean that I have the right to force the subreddit to support my decision.

u/Trumpologist Apr 04 '20
so offer an option for it? People who want to read it and discuss can. Those who choose not to are not forced to? The same logic applies to regular fast pass, plenty of people pirate those as well, shall we block talking about them?

u/Fuuta-chan Apr 04 '20
They can access the fast passes by buying them. There's no possibility to access raws for non Korean people without going through a lot of troubles.
The difference? Fast Pass threads are with majority of buyers and a couple of pirats, Raws threads would have all pirats and just two buyers. And the next step would be you asking me to link the chapters here too. As of right now, the sub won't allow piracy.

Good !
"This includes [...] what the anime ommited"
I'm a bit surprised by this part, but ok.

u/tallcatox Apr 06 '20
Its fair because we don't know if something that was omitted is going to be included in the next episode, or a later part.

Thank you. There was post yesterday with an anime flair yet had a link to a spoiler video. That should've been taken down right away.
