wandavision spoilers psa

edit: chat is up! talk about it here.

hello there!

we're rapidly approaching the premier of wandavision (which is apparently going to be a double episode!), the first mcu content we get in over a year.

unfortunately, not everyone can watch each episode as soon as it comes out. so in order to prevent people getting spoilers by looking through the latest feed, the mod team would like to implement a few rules.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

images

it is highly recommended that if your post contains spoilers, you add at least one image to reduce the amount of text seen. however, the images themselves cannot contain any spoilers.

if you can, make sure to put a spoiler warning on the cover images, like this;

as opposed to what can be in a cover image, any image from the pre-released trailers is perfectly okay (just like this post!), but anything from the episode itself isn't.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

text

now for the most important stuff. while looking at images can be great, the text is the meat of the post.

please put a text spoiler warning at the START of your post, and in the title (along with the cover image). that way, there should be no way to accidentally get spoiled. a spoiler warning can look like this;

amino likes to have a little preview of the post, where you can read a bit of the post without having to actually open it. this is where spoilers should also be avoided. you can use this space to talk about how you felt about the episode(s), any speculation/theories, events from comics, and talk about the trailers - as long as they don't mention anything about the episode(s) themselves.

what is a spoiler free sentence;

❝i love how they included monica rambeau! she's such a minor character in the comics, i'm glad she's getting some love.❞

❝sword is such an awesome organisation in the marvel multiverse, i hope to see abigail brand in the future.❞

what ISN'T a spoiler free sentence (neither based in fact);

❝seeing the townspeople trapped in wanda's pocket reality try to break through to her with the help of sword is so thrilling.❞

❝wanda brings the mutants to the mcu in a kind of reverse house of m! the growth of her powers is phenomenal!❞

do you see how the first two examples don't include plot points from the series, whereas the second two do?

as for how long you should waffle on spoiler free, it depends on the device. while there is the preview to consider, there should be at least a device long gap between the beginning of the blog and the spoiler content. that gap doesn't have to be full of text, or images, it can be an empty gap, which you can do by using text formatting. bold is best, as it makes the lines thicker.

the image above contains about how long the spoiler free part should be with and without images.

the above image shows how to use text formatting (particularly [b]) to create a large gap between the spoiler free and spoiler areas of the blog.

note that text formatting only works if it is at the start of a line.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

other important things

this is not permanent. two weeks after each episode is when the requirement for spoiler ends.

to clarify, all posts that contain spoilers must contain warnings until 2 weeks after its release. posts that contain spoilers for episode 2 must have warnings until 2 weeks after its release, etc.

this means that some warnings must be up to date. to do this, just add what episodes your post contains spoilers for in the blog.

if the mods see any post that disobeys any of the above instructions, it will be disabled immediately and will not be re-enabled until it does fit them. if you immediately remove all warning after the post is re-enabled and still within the 2 week release period, it will be disabled once again and will not be re-enabled. if that behaviour is continued, you will receive a warning, and a strike if it continues after that.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

chats

any messages that contain spoilers of wandavision will be deleted. if you see any spoilers in public chats, please flag the message or notify a leader or curator.

closer to the release date, there will be a discussion chat about the series, where it can be discussed without a need for spoiler warnings.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

all that being said,

i hope you all enjoy the new series! please be respectful and mindful of others when talking about it.
