So it has come to my Attention that despite the Rule being Put into Place that some Users don't fully understand the Rule that was put into Place in order prevent this issue that had been constantly rising and people had reported multiple times.

So for starters, let me Re-post the Rule that is on the Rules & Guidelines Page.

7. Please do not spoil/publicly discuss an official Death Battle episode until at least 1 day/24 hours after the episode has been released on YouTube. Doing so accidentally will result in a Warning, but if you knowingly spoil the official episode, OR spoil it again after already been given a Warning, you will be given a 1 day block. This block will then be extended to 1 week, then 1 month and finally an infinite block if you continue to spoil official Death Battle episodes.

Alright, so the Rule is actually pretty Simple when you look at it however allow me to highlight the Main Point of the Rule that this Thread is focusing on is this Piece Part of the Rule.

"Please do not spoil/publicly discuss an official Death Battle episode until at least 1 day/24 hours after the episode has been released on YouTube."

This part is Perfectly Simple, When an Official Death Battle is Released on YouTube, people need to WAIT 24 HOURS before Commenting on the What-If? DEATH BATTLE Page, Adding the "Came True" Category on the Page, Adding the The Link to the Death Battle Wiki for that Page.

Once the 24 Hours have passed THEN People can add them too the Page and Talk about it.

However despite this, People have repeatedlyleft Comments on the Next Time's What-If Pages, Repeatedly put the "Came True" Category, and Adding the Links tot he Death Battle Wikia despite the Rule making it perfectly clear that people need to Wait the 24 Hours out before Adding the Category.

This is problematic because when people follow the Pages, when someone leaves a Comment saying "This is Next", Even IF I or another Admin/Moderator delete the comment; that doesn't do anything as the Comment sent out a Notification too the users following the Page and the Comment still appears in their Email.

The Same applies to Edit Notifications, the Edit's Don't appear in the Pages History unless I or another Admin/Moderator perform a Rollback something that we can't always do if there are Multiple Edits after it meaning people can still get Spoiled if they look at the History and wonder "Oh hey, why did an Admin undo this?"

So I am going to ask that people completely follow Rule 7 down to the Letter and in the future WAIT the 24 Hours Out before Commenting anything Related to the Death Battle and the Next Time, because the Rule was put into place BECAUSE people kept getting spoiled by other Users about the Death Battle so the fact that people are still doing this despite the Rule being put into place for that VERY reason is ridiculous.
