[MOD POST] Please tag spoiler posts and comments about Sherlock season 3! [please upvote for visibility]

tone: friendly, diplomatic

Pictures from the filming of Sherlock season 3 are allowed in this subreddit, but only if they are flagged as such. Some people do not want to see any of these pictures, and we want to respect their choice in the matter. This rule will remain in effect until at least a couple weeks after that season premieres in the U.S. (which won't be til early 2014).

If you submit a link/post/picture that contains any potential spoilers for the new season, please use the Link Flair to tag it as [SPOILERS]. You can see the option for "flair" directly under your post (where you click to see the comments, edit your post, etc. -- it is the last option). Please also mark any spoiler posts as NSFW (the option just before the flair). This is pretty standard across reddit, because the default for RES is to not auto-expand NSFW images, so it tends to help "hide" those images for people who don't want to see them. So in general, if you see a post that's NSFW, pay attention to the title (or any tagged link flair) before clicking on it, if you don't want to see spoilers.

For comments, use the spoiler tags. They work like this: [Spoiler-y text](/spoiler) It will show up like this: Spoiler-y text (Hover your cursor over it to read it.)

If you can't remember one/both of these things down the road, just look over at the sidebar which will give you the same information. --->

tone: friendly, reassuring

No worries if anyone wasn't super-adherent to this policy in the past.

tone: friendly, diplomatic

But going forward, we are going to be fairly strict about this. If a post or comment containing spoilers is found and not tagged, it will be removed until it is properly tagged. Also, please report any non-tagged spoiler posts or comments you see to help the mods tag or remove them more quickly.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
