Rules Reminder

Since new episodes resume tonight (Yay!),
serialkarma and I wanted to remind everyone of the community rules. To wit:
1. No spoilers. Period. Once an episode has aired on the Sci-Fi Channel, we ask that you use an LJ Cut to conceal spoilers for seven days, to allow people who may not have seen the original airing time to catch up.
Addendum: This is the number one rule, and one we intend to enforce. Posts that violate the No Spoiler policy will be summarily deleted, and the poster will receive a warning. If the poster violates the policy a second time, they will be banned. This is a simple rule, folks, and in a no spoiler community it's only good manners. If you're able to read and write posts, you're able to understand the rules.
2. This is a discussion, NOT a fiction or icon community. Please take posts related to fiction or icons to other venues (see below). On a related note, please don’t ask for sources for episodes here – there are other communities that will be glad to help you out.
3. Please respect all varieties of fans, including those who want to see heterosexual or homosexual subtext. Anyone who makes posts or comments insulting, degrading or attacking someone else will be banned.
In addition, we’d like to remind you that this show is fictional, and real world comparisons might or might not be applicable. We have no problems with people who want to analyze the show by means of real world comparisons, but please recognize that this represents opinion, not fact, and respect those who respond with other points of view.
Honest mistakes are understandable, but there are limits and we don't hesitate to ban around here if we feel the situation is warranted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So once the episode has aired, have fun with your reactions, but be sure to confine discussion to tonight's episode, any aired teaser for the next episode, and unspoiled speculations for where the show might go from here. Thank you.
