In which Kate turns dictator and starts laying down the law.
Hello!
I could not run BlogClan without the help of BlogTeam. They moderate comments, organise projects and generally ensure BlogClan is always a happy, safe place to be.
Sadly, their enjoyment of new Warriors books is being threatened by an increase in comments containing spoilers, submitted in advance of a book’s publication and on pages not set aside for spoilers.
I am therefore implementing two new policies.
ALL comments containing spoilers about a Warriors book, submitted BEFORE its publication date, will be automatically trashed.
ALL comments containing spoilers about a Warriors book, submitted on a page not dedicated to spoilers of that book, will be automatically trashed.
This will make it easy for moderators to avoid reading comments containing spoilers and protect their enjoyment of Warriors.
I know most of BlogClan will me happy to comply with the new policy. Thank you, in advance.

Ok Kate 🙂 I understand 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
That sounds great!
I’m glad you’re happy with it. I was worried I was being too harsh!
No, no, you’re fine! 🙂 (Now if only you had banged a gavel, would have made the whole decree more fun 😉 )
Funny you should say that. I banged a gavel as I clicked the Publish button.
Kate! A bit unrelated, but what are you dressing up as for Halloween? 😀
A grumpy, middle aged woman with a deadline.
(PS. I trashed your announcement – I know! 🙁 I’m SO sorry – but I want to make the announcement myself. I will be publishing it on my blog and Facebook at 5pm today, once America is fully awake 🙂 )
Oh, it’s totally alright!!! 🙂 I’m glad there’s going to be a blog post about it! (Pssh — I’m surprised I’m awake this early. 😉 )
You have a deadline soon? Is it for a Warriors book? Or maybe for that YA ghost/gothic (?) story you were working on? 😀
It for Warrior 6.2 – Darkest Night. Deadline tomorrow. So much left to write! :O
Sorry to budge in Kate, but America is never awake. 🙂
LOL 😀 😀 Bad Bramble! 😀
This sounds great! Also I think it would be a great idea to hold a BlogTeam appreciation day! I mean everyday is basically one but like an actual official BlogClan appreciation day. They do so much for us and they deserve it.
They totally do! *makes note to start planning one*
Laying down the law! 😉 I love it, Kate! Good policies! Woot, woot! >:D The trash can is probably hungry anyway . . . now it gets some comments to eat 😛 NOMNOMNOM
(HAVE A GOOD DAY 😀 !!! )
😀
That’s a great idea, Kate. I hate when people spoil books for me, so I can only imagine how they feel.
(I just bought Thunder and Shadow for my birthday yesterday. ^-^
😀
(It’s so good Kate, I stayed in my room of isolation to finish it. I’m ready for the next one…when it comes out.)
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
The only thing is I have a Health test I was supposed to study today instead of reading. Oh well. I cram pretty well.
As for the wait until the next book I’ll just have to make fanart for BlogClan.)
I agree, and happy belated birthday Bramble! 😀
Yes!!! Happy late-birthday!!! Did you have yummy cake? (Are there any leftovers for me? 😉 ) Did you get awesome-amazing-wonderful-fabulous-mind-blowing-and-mind-boggling gifts??? 😀
I actually do, but unless you live down the street from me (looks around.) I can’t give you any. 🙁
I did get a 3DS so I can play Pokemon like the crazy person I am though.
Thanks so much Kate!
Good idea, Kate. 🙂 I’ve already had more spoilers for the newest books than I want. 😛 (To be fair, it’s my fault, since I ignored the warnings 😛 )
It’s nobody’s fault. I just thought it would be easier if our policy spoiler was clear 🙂
Indeed. 🙂 (I always miss the warnings and end up reading the comment 😛 )
That’s a very good rule!
Important question:
Could anyone tell me which moderator(s) is responsible for editing submitted articles and how I can contact him?
It’s Snakepaw. But use the report a problem page to contact me instead. I can forward your message on or deal with editing issues.
Very much agree. Thanks, Kate. 😀
For some reason I thought this as the BlogCode 😛
-zips mouth and crawls back slowly to undertaletrash-
BlogCode! Definitely!
Heyyyy MLP!
Thanks, Kate! I’ll be very happy to see a few select people that already have HJ running around the TAS spoiler page posting spoilers. And me being stupid thinking they’re speculations. XD
This is great, Kate. I feel bad for people like Jayie who get spoiled unwillingly before the book even releases. This is a good idea.
This is a great idea, I haven’t read TAS or DotC yet and avoiding the spoilers was getting difficult 😛
Just a little question though. Say for example someone had written an article, and you wanted to mention a reasonably major scene (that’s relevant, of course) in a comment, which would contain some spoilers. Would that get trashed? Would it be okay to post it if there was a clear spoiler warning included in the comment?
Spoilers submitted before publication will
always
be trashed. But I guess if it was totally necessary to include a spoiler in a comment and it was
*
*
*
WARNING: SPOILER
*
*
*
*
*
*
VERY WELL SIGNALLED
*
*
*
*
So even a moderator could skip it without reading it accidentally
That would be ok.
