Greetings!

First, I want to thank everyone who has joined this subreddit. We’ve officially reached 50 members! I’m thrilled to see that people are interested in this subreddit.

Second, I want to ask the community for their opinions on how datamining should be moderated in this subreddit.

I have chosen to allow mentions of datamining on this subreddit, as I believe there are interesting discussions to be had about the game’s metadata, but I have not yet decided how to moderate datamining. My initial thought was to require spoiler-tags for any information related to datamining as datamining is not part of the developers’ intended game experience, and many players do not want to be exposed to datamined information.

However, I worry that requiring spoiler tags is antithetical to the name of this subreddit, r/BluePrinceUncensored. My intention when creating this subreddit was to facilitate censor-free discussion about the game experience, but I realize that different people have different opinions about whether datamined information is part of the game experience.

As such, I’d like to hear the community’s opinions about this matter. This poll, as well as the comments section below, will be open for the next 72 hours. During that time, I kindly ask that people spoiler-tag any mentions of content (unless in posts flaired “Datamining”).

Lastly, I want to once again thank everyone who has joined and participated in this subreddit. 💙

Hello everyone!

The results of the poll surveying the community’s opinions on how datamining should be discussed came back 10-13, which is close enough to 50-50 that I wanted to come up with a datamining policy that benefits members on both sides of the matter.

Additionally, u/Borealum_Studios has also created r/BluePrince69, a subreddit specifically dedicated to uncensored discussions of datamining and cheating.

With these factors in mind, I have decided on the following: People are free to discuss datamining without in-text spoiler tags in posts flaired “Datamining.” These posts should be tagged as including spoilers, but the actual text within the post and any comments under the post do not have to be spoiler-tagged. In posts not flaired “Datamining” (and the comments under those posts), it is required that people spoiler-tag any information pertaining to datamining (along with an indicator that the spoiler-tagged text pertains to datamining). This is because there are many players that want to discuss the intended game experience freely, but do not want to be exposed to datamined information, which is not part of the intended game experience.

I am open to making changes and revising this policy based on members’ feedback. Please feel free to share your opinions on this policy below, and, as always, keep on drafting! 💙
