This. Bans will be getting handed out. Common sense people. If, for any reason, you find out something that's going to be in the show before it airs, keep it to yourself. Leaks, books, whether the actor for Jon Snow is on set, whatever. You can talk about it once the show airs.

I don't like spoilers either, but the banner says you can post them in clearly marked spoilers. I don't see any problems here.

Discussion based on trailers for next week go into clearly marked spoiler tags. Same for meta-spoilers like leaks, casting info, etc.

Yeah this seems pretty clear to me

Guess I'm just mean. Either way, warning was given.

Dude. No talking about it at all until Sunday night. Come on.

If the 2 day folks care enough they can ask an admin to change the ban. In the mean time I'll ask if we can get a policy change for leaked episode discussions.

Follow rules on top of thread, get banned anyway. Pretty silly.

wtf, why did they get banned? the rules cleary states:

I think there's a bit of a difference between the kind of meta-spoilers being referred to there, such as leaked information from filming, who is on set together, stunt doubles, Jon Snow's haircut, parts of scripts etc, and someone having pirated the whole episode before it publicly airs and then come into the topic to tell us all about it the day before it's publicly available.

However I understand how that distinction could have been confusing to people. I understand it right up until the point where I cleared up the confusion by specifically telling them not to post about it until the episode aired.

Anyone thinking "well my interpretation of the public notice says this is okay but the moderator whose post is five posts above mine explicitly says not to do it so I just don't know what to do so I'm gonna go ahead and do it anyway" deserves their ban which will expire the day after the episode airs.

It was potentially confusing right up until I cleared up all that confusion and told people specifically what would be being enforced.

Note that Dazed. got away with just an edit to his post, no warning, no nothing.

Well at-least the pinned post at the top now reflects that nuance. Hey it always has to start with someone, just like when you read a sign in a store and wonder why are forks banned, because someone did something...

Anyways, good episode, although felt really short. Highlight had to be Arya showing everyone she's a badass.

Holy fuck that battle was pretty fucking insane.

Goods:
-Dothraki horseback archers
-Dragons roasting the FUCK out of infantry
-Bronn

Bads:
-Arya reunion was pretty underwhelming
-Danny's bad acting, as usual
-Littlefinger scenes felt like a waste of time (although Bran's "chaos is a ladder" remark was good)

edit: I also loved that conflicting feel when you finally see all the main characters converge on the battlefield. I really really wanted Bronn to nail that dragon but at the same time I didnt want the Dragon to get hurt. But that was all quickly ruined when they showed Jaime charging at Danny, all I could think was "what kind of plot armor gonna protect Jaime now"

Really liked this episode. Stark reunion gave me all the feels and the battle was epic. Everyone I watch with and myself wanted our 10 more minutes though!

A well-spent budget of practical effects and CGI. That was a fun battle.

Bron be like, wtf this RNG, no ACOG or 8x GG loot sux, ima have to ironsight this shit.

Jon: You know, burning castles and people with your dragons is just like..being your ancestors who came here to burn people and castles with dragons, so you'd just be the same old same old. So that's my advice.

Dany: Aight

Enter Missandei giving a speech about how Dany is so good and different.

Warp into a scene Dany burning people with her dragon.

Being a serious conqueror and a pacifist at the same time is hard yo.

I honestly don't give a fuck if Jaime and Bronn both die, as long as Drogon doesn't die. Omg if he dies it will legit be the most impactful death for me...

QFT, they can both rot in hell for all I care.
