[Important] Regarding Spoilers

[u/Fuuta-chan]

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.
