Remember that leak spoiler policy we talked about the other day? We're completely changing it. All leak discussion now goes to /r/mylittleredacted!

We talked about it. A lot. Today, yesterday, and the day before. Lots of discussion.

There's arguments for adhering to precedent, but this is a pretty unprecedented leak. Maybe we shouldn't just keep doing what we've done when Castle Mane-ia aired a few days early, y'know?

A lot of people don't want to see these leaks. The fact that it happened at all upsets most of us. Having leak discussion here sucks for those people, being reminded and tempted to take a peek every day. ...Okay, tempted is a dramatic word. But you get it, right? Right.

Besides which, we're seeing a lot of people drop huge stuff pretty casually. We've removed multiple comments that are like "No spoilers, but [dramatically returning character]'s episode was great!" A giant cudgel of a leak has fallen and maybe some folks are forgetting that the spoiler policy is actually pretty delicate.

So here's what we're going to do: You want to talk about the leaks? Go to /r/mylittleredacted, which we'll be setting up, maybe making a sticky post, and then immediately being pretty hands-off with. I (and other mane sub mods up for helping) will respond to reports about normal stuff like spam and rudeness and NSFW stuff, but the main thing will be that those people who choose to go there can discuss everything in there as openly as they want to. No spoiler tags required—users beware if you go in there. Make discussion threads for the leaked scripts, insert your own music into the unfinished eps, whatever you want!

What does that mean for discussion on this subreddit? I'll tell you!

Henceforth, you are not allowed to post or discuss any of the leaked content in this sub. Any posts or comments containing information from those leaks will be removed and redirected to /r/mylittleredacted.

You can talk about the existence of the leaks. You can mention what's in them in non-specific terms (scripts, half-finished eps, etc.) But, like... pretend you heard about it vaguely from some guy who ran by you on the street. No talking about what it reveals about any upcoming content. Don't even hint at that. We will absolutely be removing anything like "No spoilers, but you'll be pleasantly surprised by episode three!" Any 'knowing giggles' are strictly forbidden.

We'll be disallowing submitting posts about it, and absolutely disallowing links to the leaked content. Art based on the leaks will also be disallowed, under the same parameters as art about new airing episodes; even if it doesn't scream "THIS IS FROM THE LEAK" and could pass as a normal picture, removing it is simpler than hoping the description and picture comments and submission comments manage to never spoil that fact. Maybe we'll keep a little list of pics we remove so they can be posted after the episodes come out properly.

As a user, the more you can do to pretend it doesn't exist, the better. We'll have to have a link in the sidebar and stuff, but other than that, we're hoping that the only time that the leak is brought up is when someone wanders in like "Leak??" and then someone explains what it is. Our hope is that it won't be relevant to any other conversations.

Hopefully that all makes sense. Thank you to everyone who makes an effort to accommodate the leak-avoiders! It's a long time until Season 8 comes out still. Let's all work together to keep the wait a nice experience, and the premiere a happy and satisfying one.
