A community for fans of Brandon Sanderson!
**1. Show respect to others**
Every interaction in the community must be kind, respectful, and welcoming. No person should ever feel threatened, harassed, or unwelcome. Do not engage in hate speech, harassment, insults, personal attacks, trolling, or arguing in bad faith. Interpretation of this rule is subject to the moderators' discretion. Please remember the human.
**2. Spoilers not permitted in post titles**
Post titles must never reveal spoilers. This includes no direct quotes from the books. Title wording should be vague if necessary. Grey areas are up to the moderators' discretion.
**3. Use spoiler markup for all spoiler posts**
Please cover all spoiler posts in a spoiler tag. Simple posts like Sandershelves do not need to be spoilered. Posts/comments with major spoilers will be removed.
You spoiler tag like this:
> `::: Spoiler` Spoiler Tag
> message here
> `:::`
in order to get:
::: spoiler Book Name Here
Stuff about the book in here
:::
>
**4. Post must be tagged for spoilers**
All posts must be tagged to indicate the level of expected spoilers in the link/post and comments. The spoiler scope should include the name of the book or books, such as `[Book Name]` or `[Book Series]`. You may also say `[No Spoilers]` if you don't want any spoilers at all. Be as specific as possible. You can even say `[Book Name Ch 34]`, for example.
**5. No excessive reposting**
Identical content may not be reposted within, by default, a two week period. This period may be adjusted at the moderators' discretion..
**6. Posts must be on topic**
Posts must be related to Brandon Sanderson or his works. Posts relating to sensitive topics (such as politics, religions, etc.) will be subject to greater scrutiny. Memes, shitposts, etc. are permitted so long as they are sufficiently relevant. Meta discussions related to the community are generally permitted. Self promotion for money is disallowed. Art, podcasts, videos and other such actual content is allowed.
**7. Respect intellectual property**
Piracy and copyright infringement are strictly forbidden. With some exceptions, all content must comply with [Dragonsteel's licensing and fanart policies](https://faq.brandonsanderson.com/knowledge-base/can-i-make-fan-art-or-write-fan-fiction/). Artwork must be attributed and may not be posted against the artist's wishes. Fan art should be marked as `[OC]` or credited to the original artist. If AI was used as a tool, please also mark the post `[AI: Tool Used]`, for example `[AI: Midjourney]`.
**8. Leaked content is not permitted**
Content which is released outside of Brandon Sanderson's wishes is not allowed under any circumstances. Pre-release content publicly released by Brandon, Dragonsteel Entertainment, or a publisher is okay if marked appropriately for spoilers.
