A Spoiler-free Note on Spoilers
Hey, just some reprobate wrangling here! In light of RoT coming out in less than a week and the likelihood of some advanced copies floating around, it seems prudent to review Sounis's spoiler policies for before and after the book is released. I haven't been terribly rushed in posting this, since everyone has been doing a great job of keeping spoilers to spoiler threads, but I've noticed a few anxious comments about spoilers and people planning to avoid the community till after they've read the book.
Sounis's spoiler policy is in place in order to make that unnecessary and allow you to scroll without fear.
The policy is as follows:
Spoilers are not allowed in the comments on spoiler-free threads or on the main page. Threads are considered spoiler-free unless otherwise stipulated. This will remain in effect until a month after the book's release.
All spoiler-y discussion of Return of the Thief (a spoiler is any information about the book concerning the plot) must be hidden under an LJ-cut with a clear warning, preferably in the title. A warning can be as simple as putting SPOILERS at the beginning of your post with all spoiler-y text hidden under a cut. I'm happy to help if you're having trouble understanding how to use a cut.
Any comments or posts found in violation of this policy may be deleted without warning. We don't want to have to delete anything. We like being benevolent despots, so please be kind and hide those spoilers! :)

Like I did for TaT, I will be posting an opening thread for RoT the morning of October 6th, where we can start discussing. Everyone is welcome to post their own threads about the new book, as well, just please follow the above spoiler policy.
If you have an advanced copy, I just ask that you wait till October 6th before you start discussing it, since we are so close to the release day at this point. Starting threads about spoilers that are available to the public is perfectly fine as long as sounis spoiler policies are followed.
