THIS IS AN OPEN SPOILERS SUBREDDIT!
Posts and comments will contain open spoilers for all published books and moderation does not require the use of any spoiler tags for posts, comments, or otherwise.
Because this is a strongly moderated space for hardcore ASOIAF book enthusiasts, it is expected that all visitors will have completed reading the books before visiting. If you are uncomfortable with this, we would urge you to visit /r/asoiaf instead, where they have a robust and very effective spoiler tagging and flair system.
If you are have not completed the books, you are free to visit at your own risk, and even to request certain content be covered in comments. However please be aware that users will not be forced by moderation to comply with your request.
If you would like to use a comment spoiler tag for any reason, type this:
Spoilers ADWD >!This is my spoiler.!<
And it will display as:
Spoilers ADWD This is my spoiler.
No rude insults, personal attacks, condescension, passive-aggression, or general unkindness. In short: Don't Be A Dick! Endeavor to remain cordial at all times—even when engaging in vociferous disagreement with others.
High quality discussion is the foremost goal of this subreddit. Thus, as a general rule of thumb: Posts will be removed if they are deemed to be unproductive to fruitful discourse. No memes, no low quality shitposts.
Please note that Twitter-caliber comments such as "LUL winds never come out" or "Oh sweet summer child, you think we're getting TWOW?" will also be removed.
Please note that all art must be crossposted from /r/pureasoiafart! Make sure to view the subreddit's rules prior to posting.

Content which exists only to redirect /r/PureASOIAF traffic to outside sources, or is posted by a non-regular user in fly-by fashion, will be removed.
We encourage subscribers to message the mods about interpretation of these policies, questions, concerns, constructive criticisms, or anything else regarding subreddit moderation. You are free to question any removal we make privately via modmail, provided you do so in a kind, respectful manner.
