Leaky Lounge Spoiler Patrol We're trying our darndest to respect Jo's wishes and keep spoilers out of the public eye. To do so we've implemented two things. Jo's Army - While our forum mods generally moderate our forums, we've added a handy little feature for ALL of Leaky's staff groups. If a staff member runs across a spoiler, they can instantly make it invisible. Instead of having 50 mods looking for these things, we now have our massive Leaky staff of 200 + awesome people out there protecting our readers from spoilers. We want to honor Jo's wishes for a release date, and we will ban any member who post spoilers or links to spoilers. Thread approval - Starting this Friday (July 6th) all new threads on The Leaky Lounge will have to be approved by a mod before being made visible. This is not to stifle the discussion, but we're currently averaging over 200 new threads a day, many have been spoiler/foiler threads. To protect you guys, and to honor Jo's wishes, we'll be approving all new threads prior to making them visible. We're starting this on Friday to make sure that this weekend's HUGE EVENT (yep that was a tease, you'll hear more via email soon) will not get ruined by spoilers! This is only temporary, and will revert back to normal AFTER the Deathly Hallow release. You will see a little reminder box pop up when you've started a new thread to let you know that it will be viewed quickly and approved. Forum plans for DH release weekend - We will post our plans for the Deathly Hallows release during this weekend's Saturday event! Please stop in and check out the magical adventure we've planned for the release of Deathly Hallows! Just a reminder: Leaky Lounge spoiler rules TLC's Announcement on Spoilers Jo Loves our Spoiler Rules (Check out her diary!) Search Function Down Deathly Hallows Reading Plan If you have any questions or comments let us know! ETA: Just a quick reminder, posting a link to a spoiler, a link to a site that has a spoiler, or posting spoilers in the Lounge or on any of Leaky's sites will result in your being banned If you think you see a spoiler - report it to our mods or myself via pm, but PLEASE don't post it in our forum!

Alright, this is probably one of the greatest things you guys have ever done!
You rock, and I'm sure all the fellow LL members are with me when I say that we appreciate all you do (as mods) to protect us from spoilers. You members who like to spoiler are gonna have trouble now

This weekend's event is very complex, and while we might have the shack open (I'm going through Mah Jongg withdrawl) you will not want to miss much of what is happening! QUOTE This is great!!!!

We're trying to keep the forum spoiler free for everyone! This post has been edited by DorisTLC: Jul 3 2007, 09:40 AM -------------------- |

I feel very glad that you're preventing spoilers to leak on to the Leaky Lounge!
And I really can't wait for the special event soon! |

On the spoilers: Thank you soooooooo much. I was incredibly worried about being spoiled (I was for Half-Blood Prince, and let me tell you, that was not fun), but it seems like there's no way any spoilers are going to get past your awesome patrol. I'm so glad I can keep coming to one of my favorite sites without any worries. Yay, Leaky Lounge!
And on the special event: WHOO HOO! I love the special events, and this one sounds like it's going to be awesome. Again, thank you guys so much for everything you do to keep the Lounge a happy, spoiler-free place!
