Pornicators' Journal

MOD POST: Just 97 days left...

I thought I would go ahead and post this now so everyone has fair warning. I'm sorry to clog your flist but I want everyone to see it.

Official pornicators Deathly Hallows Spoiler Policy

Borrowed from and posted with permission by _lore and lupin_snape Thank you my dear.

No.

None shall pass.

None.

Do not post anything remotely like a spoiler on this group from now until September 30, 2007 unless it is clearly marked as a spoiler and all spoiler information put behind the cut-tag.

This includes the following in both community posts and comments on community posts:
• Spoilers.
• Suspected Spoilers.
• Stories based on spoilers or suspected spoilers.
• Art based on spoilers or suspected spoilers.
• Subject Lines based on spoilers or suspected spoilers.
• Icons based on spoilers or suspected spoilers.
• Moods based on spoilers or suspected spoilers.
• Other creative pursuits based on spoilers or suspected spoilers.

Yes, your icon and mood can spoil someone, too. For example, if I were to make a post here with the subject line: "Book 7 spoilers" and put everything behind a cut-tag, but my mood is "disappointed" or "sad" or "depressed," you can infer quite a bit from those moods knowing me and my preferences. A cut tag can also give away a spoiler so be careful what text you cut with. The same inferences can be made from a Snape icon with a halo overhead or a Potter icon splattered with red blotches.

These are just some examples of the many ways you can accidentally spoil someone, so please, everyone, think carefully before even posting something remotely spoilerish. If you're not good with cut-tags, practice them in your own journal first. If you have questions or want a judgment call, please be patient and contact me. I prioritize time-sensitive questions and needs, so you won't have to wait long to post.

If you break these rules: I'm sorry, but you will be banned. It will break my heart to do it, but I can't think of a stronger way to get across that this is the last HP book, and everyone deserves a fair chance to read it in their own way. I think it's unreasonable to ask people to stop reading their flists three months before the book is due out, so banning it is.

99.99% of you are mature, intelligent and polite enough to have already decided to not post spoilers on your own. But there's always someone who misses the boat or wants attention or likes to ruin other people's good time, so I thought this needed to be said explicitly: "Spoilers? Don't Do It."
