Forum:Spoiler Policy

Bleach_Wiki:Spoiler_Policy, finally there...

That page, I think you already tought of it, is here to discuss/comment/talk about the new policy and the maybe-future changes.

I would like it to be made explicitly clear that the spoilers are not to be added until after the release of an ENGLISH scanlation. I asked this because this is what happened when latest chapter came out. Someone started adding content to a page after the raw came out but long before the english version. I reverted and left the comment "NO SPOILERS TILL AN ENGLISH VERSION IS OUT". However, my revert got reverted with the comment "Were does it say the english must be out?". Unfortunately my answer to that question had to be somewhat indirect. When I reverted the raw based content I had to say "Did you happen to miss the section about "Sleepy Fans"?". This I think is a flaw with the spoiler policy. It specifically mentions Sleepyfans but Sleepyfans aren't always the first english scanlators and it is somewhat of an indirect way of saying that the english chapter has to be out. So I say that we change the policy to specifically say "An english scanlation has to be out on a publicly accessible site" i.e. can't be release exclusively to for people with membership of a certain site or anything like that. I also suggest we remove the reference to Sleepyfans because, again with the latest chapter, the first english scanlators were CNet and it was only released on BleachExile. So technically this week me, Salibur, Yyp and pretty much everybody else violated the spoiler policy since we started adding content before Sleepyfans came out with their scanlation.

I second this - it needs to be clarified. Also, FrankyHouse & Hueco Mundo Crew have released a scanlation of Bleach before Sleepyfans in the past too. SF may typically be the first, but not always. Yyp 10:54, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

I really think that this needs to be addressed, as it is out on BleachExile before the Sleepyfans scan appears on Onemanga again. That makes it two weeks in a row. I'm not adding anything about it to the site, even though the chapter is now freely available in English. But there will be a load of edits by others that find it on BE. --Yyp 21:08, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Hopefully that will help.Salubri 21:55, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
