It's finally release time again guys. Chain of Thorns is a week away which means it's time to re-familiarize yourselves with the spoiler policy here. Please read it all as somethings may have changed and there's other important information being shared.
All dates are in UTC time as that is what Fandom uses (so eastern hemisphere people may have to wait an additional day and western people may see things a little early).
There is a complete ban on anything from the book being shared here or added to the wiki for the first week (meaning through the 6th). This also means you may not ask for spoilers.
For 2 months after that, all posts and edits must include proper spoiler warnings. On Discussions, the title of your post or first line should mention that it contains spoilers for CoT. If you are posting a picture, you should add enough blank lines that the photo will not be visible unless you click to see the full post. There will also be a temporary "COT Spoilers" category that all posts relating to CoT should go in. The exception is "my book arrived" posts which go in "Personal" unless you upload images of the inside artwork from first editions as these can spoil scenes.
For article edits the coding used to spoiler block is <div id="SpoilerAlert"></div> for large pieces of info or {{Spoiler|}} for shorter bits. More information can be found here.
Failure to comply may result in a ban!
If you notice a post or article is against the guidelines, report it!
For posts and comments, you may flag it or comment with a tag to myself, @Tamirobson, or Discussion Moderators: @Enyacoldridge17, @Sybella27, & @TheBookHunter. This will allow for us to fix, lock, or delete the post quickly before others see it.
For reporting edits on articles, you may make a post here in "For fandom.com ONLY" with a ping to Tami or I, post on our message walls, post in #wiki on the discord (link to join), or pm us over discord (Our usernames are the same).
In summation with dates:
Absolutely no spoilers anywhere through the 6th at 11:59 p.m. UTC.
From February 7th-April 4th, all spoilers must have a proper warning.
If you do not follow the rules, you may be banned.
If you notice anything against the guidelines, report it to staff!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask. I hope you all enjoy Chain of Thorns and can remain spoiler free!
