Everyone who comes to post on our site MUST READ this Spoiler policy before posting or risk being tarred and feathered then, drawn and quartered.

SnitchSeeker.com has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy when it comes to spoilers. We don't want them here for our members and guests to stumble upon and ruin the book for them. Spoilers are not allowed anywhere on the site until after the book is released and even then, they will ONLY be allowed in a special, password protected, spoiler forum, specifically set up for discussion ofHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

ANYONE who posts spoilers of ANY kind will be given an infraction and immediately suspended from the site for 30 days. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

If you are posting a link to spoilers you will be subject to the same punishment, regardless of how many warnings you give in your post that the link is to spoilers (I've accidentally clicked on links when going from window-to-window often enough to know that warnings aren't always enough). There is NO reason to be posting that crap here, anyway. If you know a link and want to share, ask people FIRST, and then send them a PM. However, do NOT send unsolicited PMs or you WILL be punished!

If you are posting threads to be moderated with spoilers you will be subject to the same punishment as someone whose post shows up right away on the forums.

If you are found PMing members spoilers you will be BANNED. There is no doubt in my mind that anyone PMing members spoilers is only out to make trouble and I will not tolerate it.

For those afraid of being spoiled: The mods and admins at SnitchSeeker do their very best to eliminate spoilers from the forums, however we cannot be held responsible for the content of our members' posts. If you are afraid of being spoiled, I suggest you turn off email notification of PMs and forum posts as well as avoid your PMs or even the forums until after you've read the book. You may also want to avoid the internet in general if you are incredibly paranoid. The spoilers are out there so, complete avoidance is the only way to 100% ensure that you won't be spoiled.

Also note that the Flourish & Blotts forum has been temporarily closed for discussions in order to prevent overly excited members from posting spoilers in their discussions of the books. The Fan Clubs will also be closed for the same reason. We will let you know when these forums are back up for posting. Thank you so much for your understanding and I hope you enjoy your new book!

Edit: Madam Malkins, Grimmauld Place and the Diagon Alley forums have also been closed down for this reason.

Dumbledore edit: As an extra precaution I have now disabled registering until after the book is released. I hope this helps.

Saz Hale · 07-19-2007, 09:51 AM

wow thanx kris and the others for the new rules i will be able to relax a bit without finding out what happens in the book and i will make sure i will not post spoilers for anybody else to find out cause i am not that sort of person

Dumbledore · 07-19-2007, 12:34 PM

I have just turned off registration for now.

I don't want any new people registering ONLY to spoil the book for others.

It will be turned on again after the release. (Probably on Monday or Tuesday next week.)

MusicalChick · 07-19-2007, 02:53 PM

I promise myself I will not read any new PM's until I finish that book! *makes Unbreakable Vow*

Sama · 07-19-2007, 03:00 PM

Thanks.... I hate to think that someone would actually try to ruin the book for people.... I hate stuff like that

stargazer · 07-19-2007, 03:01 PM

Thank you so much for having spoilers banned from this website
I don't want anything ruined until the book comes out
Thank you!!!

Moxie · 07-19-2007, 03:30 PM

RIGHTO!

Note to self: No spoilage

I'm so glad this is intact, b/c i can't even read DH until July 29th, since we're on vacation, and the book is coming to our house =(

Thanks Snitchseeker!

JOpotter · 07-19-2007, 06:03 PM

This is great! Thank you SS! I've had the past 2 books spoiled for me. It's so upsetting to hear of Sirius and Dumbledore's deaths through a wesite....
Thank you so much!

SeverusSnapesLover · 07-20-2007, 02:30 PM

Thank you for the precautions. I think I already ran into something I shouldn't have, but I quickly erased it from my mind

hpnerd5000 · 07-20-2007, 04:02 PM

Wayfarer · 07-20-2007, 04:12 PM

I have a bit of SS work to do then I am off-line until I have read it. Thanks for a safe place to play today, because I am going nuts waiting.

demented_death_eater · 07-20-2007, 05:45 PM

I will definitely be adhering to this policy and will be on the hunt for those trying to spoil it for everyone.

miss weasley · 07-20-2007, 07:20 PM

Spoilers are mean and evil!

I had to delete two E-Mail Spoilers already.
-takes fingers from eyes and ears- Thank you, Kris.
I no longer have to hide away in case of Spoilers. ^.^

It will probably open back up within the next couple weeks. We cannot say for sure at this moment.

Main Entry: 1spoil
Pronunciation: 'spoi(-&)l
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English spoile, from Anglo-French espuille, from espuiller
1 a : plunder taken from an enemy in war or from a victim in robbery : LOOT b : public offices made the property of a successful party -- usually used in plural c : something valuable or desirable gained through special effort or opportunism or in return for a favor -- usually used in plural
2 a : SPOLIATION, PLUNDERING b : the act of damaging : HARM, IMPAIRMENT
3 : an object of plundering : PREY
4 : earth and rock excavated or dredged
5 : an object damaged or flawed in the making

The very meaning of 'spoiler' is that the book is spoiled or ruined for someone who wishes to find out what happens for his/her self.

If people want sneak peeks, they can actively search for them. Our policy is designed to help protect people from accidentally stumbling on the information on our site that would ruin their enjoyment of the book.

Accio Firebolt · 07-28-2007, 05:17 PM

Thank you... I don't want HP 7 to be spoiled but it's insane how I have to take percautions and stay away from the internet... haha

Simple_Spells · 07-30-2007, 12:18 PM

Aha, that registering thing explains it. My friend tried to sign up but it wouldn't let him.

Great rules. If I had had the book spoiled I would probably be like forever in mourning.
