Hello everyone, there are a few things I wanted to talk to you all about today.

Firstly, I wanted to inform you all of a new rule regarding the spoiling of official Death Battles. Rule 5 has also been updated as a result of this rule.

Rule 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.
 * To be clear, you can discuss an official episode before it is publicly released privately in Chat using PMs, but discussing it on people’s message walls, forum threads, on blogs, in comment sections or in the main Chatroom is NOT allowed. Once the 1 day/24 hour mark has passed though, you are free to discuss the episode in these locations as well.

Rule 5: Less salt is good for your health, so with this in mind, the following comments are not allowed:
 * Comments that spoil an official Death Battle episode before it has been 1 day/24 hours since the episode’s public release on YouTube.

Secondly, I wanted to let you all know, that me and Shadow7615 have decided NOT to revive the Top Completed What-If? Death Battles poll. While Shadow previously announced that the polls would soon be revived back in December, we had a discussion fairly recently where we decided not to revive the polls, due to the annual Wiki Awards essentially carrying out the same purpose as  (said purpose being the promotion of user’s battles). I apologise for the inconvenience this may cause some of you.

Finally, I wanted to give a shoutout to Necromercer, who was recently made a Discussion Mod. Please feel free to congratulate him down below!

If you have any questions regarding the new rules, please feel free to post them down below as well.

Big out.
