Word of Mod on spoilers after RDX starts airing

[laurenthemself]

Keep lj-cutting and spoiler warning at least til a month after the episodes air. This should be ample time for delayed international broadcasts (for example I have no idea when it's airing in Australia), but if it isn't we may have to extend the length of time we keep stuff behind a cut.

You guys have all been absolutely fantastic about spoilers so far, by the way; kudos to you all!

As regards janamelie's suggestion about sticky posts at the top of the comm, unfortunately it's not possible to do that pre-dating sort of sticky post on a community. However, what we can do is have an official episode discussion post as each ep airs, and I can add those links to the sidebar and the profile page, plus make a new tag for them by episode title.

I think all community members should get free passes to a taping of Series XI (or all of them) for the adherence to spoiler conservation. Be a dear and have a tea with Doug over it, won't you?

Between us and G&T they could probably fill every seat. *Lol* ;)

Seconded!

Thanks for your response. We'll all make the best of things and keep spoiler warning and cutting. :)

Sounds fab.

I do feel like the Red Dwarf fandom in general deserves a massive pat on the pack for not being gits with spoilers. I think you might struggle to find any other fandom returning after a long (or even not so long) break that adhered to the no-spoilers policy as much as this fandom has.

Yeah, well, the time lapse might well be why, too.

"You say we have to keep our mouths shut or it'll be another 12 years before we get another series?!

I think that's only courteous, especially with this being such an international comm. I will have to do plenty of cut squeeing though on 4th October ;-)

It'll be you, me and Sunny_Bexster squeeing at each other! ;)

and me as well!
