#Rules

###1 - Be respectful

This rule should be self-explanatory. Don't insult or threaten other users. Discussions can get heated, but things should never get out of hand.

Swearing and being critical are permitted, but not against people or groups of people, and not to an unreasonable extent. Don't say anything you wouldn't in real life when around new people you don't know that well.

Assume good faith. People may have differing views, to the point you find it very hard to relate to them, but that does not mean they are being disingenuous in any way.

###2 - Stay on topic

Posts should be related to the show in some way.

###3 - Minimum effort

At least some effort should be put into new posts. Low quality posts results in low quality discussion. For this reason new text submissions are required to be at least 150 characters long. Attempting to bypass that limit will result in a ban.

###4 - Be mindful of spoilers

Don't put spoilers in titles, and limit spoilers to threads marked as having spoilers. Threads flaired with 'Production News/Media' should be assumed to have spoilers for past and unaired episodes unless otherwise indicated.

The season tags that allow spoilers only allow spoilers for that season. Discussion of any confirmed or rumored plot points (e.g. production leaks, or something mentioned on the podcast or in an interview) must be encased in spoiler tags even in season spoiler threads.

###5 - Use an appropriate flair when posting. Don't repost to avoid flair restrictions.

For discussions pertaining to a particular season, select a flair for that season indicating if you want to allow spoilers or not.

For articles, news or links, use the 'News/Article/Link' flair, or for anything related to production news use the 'Production News/Media' flair.

For videos, podcasts, screenshots or images use the 'Media' flair.

For any other discussion topics use 'Non-episode Discussion'.

For more see the wiki entry.

###6 - No 'thoughts on' posts about the newest episode until one week has passed

Posts to discuss thoughts on the newest episode are not permitted until after one week has passed since it premiered.

A post discussing a particular aspect of an episode in depth, or detailing a theory is fine, just not idle thoughts and reactions. Those should be posted in the episode discussion threads.

###7 - No complaints about gender, race or orientation

Given the difficulty in assessing veiled racist and sexist comments, rather than attempt to do so there is a zero tolerance policy against posts and comments complaining about casting decisions.

###8 - Self-promotion in reason

Self-promotion is permitted within reason. If you are an active member of the community, you can promote your work once per week in a post, as well as in the discussion threads. Please provide more info than just a link (e.g., what is the blog/podcast about, why should people check it out, etc).

###9 - No piracy

It's illegal, don't do it. Or at least, don't promote, request or link to it in this sub.
