Flag category updates, and rules for Topic Splits

Visible Spoilers

I’ve added a new flag “Visible Spoilers”. If a post includes major unhidden spoilers, please flag and specify what should be hidden.

Updated rule for topic-split requests:

  • If you want something split to a new or existing topic, please include the entire existing topic title (ideally click the pencil icon and copy the title so we can directly search for the exact wording) - or specify a new topic title if it needs to be created.

  • Also going forward, please individually flag every post you want split and specify the destination topic title. This will reduce moderator confusion where we have to guess what posts you mean or make judgement calls on a thread we may not be actively reading.

Yes, we know you can see post numbers in the URL. If you want a complicated surgical split involving specific separated posts, flag each post individually which will direct us exactly how to respond with less confusion. Every post you want moved needs a flag.

  • We will accept a request for “split from here down” - flag the first topic and we’ll truncate that post and every subsequent one and move everything to a new or existing thread.

TL;DR: No longer acceptable split requests:
“Split all the posts about banana bread” :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
“Split posts 8, 12, 33-38, 67-92 to a new thread” :-1:
