# Rules and Guidelines


##1. Harassment and etiquette

*  Excessive use of vulgar language will not be permitted.
* Sexist, racist, transphobic, or discriminatory remarks will not be tolerated. Continuing of such comments after three strikes will result in permanent bans.
* No judgment allowed here. All view-points and opinions are permitted here, within reason. Opinions and view-points that are different from your own will be present, so please be civil to your fellow Redditor.
* Criticisms for these shows are allowed, and will cause amazing conversations. 

## 2. No reposts

* No reposting of news, or superfluous discussion threads. Please use the "search" bar to see if your topic is already being discussed.
* Theory discussions are allowed as long as you bring something new to the table!

## 3. No spoilers

* All post titles must NOT include spoilers from Fire & Blood or new episodes of House of the Dragon.
* Show spoilers are allowed in your title ONE WEEK after episode airing.
* All posts dealing with book spoilers must be spoiler tagged and flaired as a book spoiler.
* All book spoiler comments must be spoiler tagged in non book spoiler threads.
* Episode discussions will be split into two posts. One where book spoilers are allowed, and one without any.

## 4. No piracy

*  Ultimately, how you source your media is your business. The direct discussion of illicit means of viewing and acquisition, as well as the sharing of such sourced materials, is forbidden, i.e. no linking (or requesting) torrents, streams, downloads, etc.

## 5. No self promotion

* Posts about your own site/channel/product/social media account/etc. will be removed, unless you have received express permission from the mod team before posting.

## 6. No unrelated posts

* The content - not the just title - of any submission should have some direct relationship to the A Song of Ice and Fire universe (House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones, supplementary materials, etc.). For example, a meme from The Office with a HoTD related title is not allowed. You should be able to tell the content is relevant to the subreddit without the context of the title.

## 7. No unreputable social media content

* Any social media content from other websites (such as Twitter, Instagram, etc.) should be from the cast, crew, or a reputable source. Reputable source can mean a journalist, professional TV critic, celebrity, etc. "Reputable" does not mean "respectable". Basically the point of this rule is so that social media content from (basically random) people is not shared and amplified here. If you have an opinion, share it through your own voice, instead of posting someone else's take

## 8. No low effort posts or comments

* Low quality posts and/or comments, and the discussions spawned from them, can be subject to removal at moderator discretion.

## 9. Leaks

* Leaks should be isolated in their own thread with the leak flair and a spoiler tag.
* Comments with leaks need to ONLY be in the leak thread. Leaks aren't allowed outside of that thread, even with spoiler tags.
* **The moderation team reserves the right to remove posts or comments we feel pose a risk of a copyright strike to the subreddit.**

## 10. No being uncivil to other users

* Users who are engaging in personal attacks or are otherwise being overly hostile or rude may have their comments removed and may be banned.

## 11. Credit artwork/images/news/videos

* Please credit all artwork, images, news and videos. Posting fan content made by others must link to the original creator or artist's gallery or place of submission. Artists and creators should be credited within the title of the post. 
* This does not apply to screenshots/frames/stills of the show, trailers, or other official media.

## 12. Discuss the show, not the fandom

* This subreddit is for discussing House of the Dragon itself. Discussions about conflict in the fandom, particularly with regards to Team Black vs Team Green, should be taken elsewhere.

## 13. No unrelated and/or modern day politics

* While House of the Dragon covers political topics and themes, this is not an inherently political subreddit. No unrelated and/or modern day politics are allowed.


## 14. Rape/sexual assault denial
* Comments or posts denying or minimizing instances of sexual assault on the show, "playing the devil's advocate" about them, or attempting in any way to conflate these instances with consensual sex acts are strictly prohibited and will result in a ban.

</div>

All post titles must NOT include spoilers from Fire & Blood or new episodes of House of the Dragon. Minor HotD show spoilers are allowed in your title ONE WEEK after episode airing. The mod team reserves the right to remove a post if we feel a spoiler in the title is major. 

Flairs are required for all submissions, however if you want the "SPOILER FREE" flair, put "No spoilers" IN your title.

A flair is not only for your submitted content, but for what type of discussion is allowed in the comments without spoiler tags. If in doubt, the default is to pick "Show Spoilers".
