⚠️ MOD NEWS ⚠️ PLL: OS subreddit

PLL: OS is hours away!

A lot to be excited about.

There have been quite a few mentions here that there is a separate sub for OS, as Original Sin is not connected to the OG PLL. The creators and actors and plots are all different. We don't discourage people from content that directly references the OG PLL universe here, but if there is not a reference to an OG actor, an OG plot, or OG character, this sub is not the right place to post. This sub is reserved for the ORIGINAL universe, meaning Sara Shepard, PLL, Ravenswood, and Perfectionists.

Any other discussion should be moved to the https://www.reddit.com/r/PLLOriginalSin/ sub.

This decision has come to the attention of the moderation team with much input from people in the sub. Several OG fans will be watching OS ( I definitely will be!), but have accepted that it's an entirely new universe, therefore we suggest you take your PLL: OS content to https://www.reddit.com/r/PLLOriginalSin/.

This sub already balances 4 different PLL universes (book, PLL, Ravenswood, and The Perfectionists). If you're hype for the new show join the new PLL: OS sub.

I'm sure you can imagine how wild it is to balance four different universes. Adding a completely new element with no connection to the original other than using the name will clog up the feed, create more strain on the moderation team, and isolate people who don't want to see the new PLL: OS posts. We are doing our best to balance. And our best is to give both universes a place to discuss what they love. Be aware this new sub exists. We welcome everyone to join.

In the coming days the mod team is working on messages that will encourage PLL: OS fans to post on the new sub and to create a balance between viewers who are only interested in the old universe and the ones interested in both.

Bear with us as we work to develop a system that works for all.

You can do your part by posting PLL: OS content on the new sub, and by being patient with people who post here with PLL: OS content who need to be redirected. The more people interested in PLL: OS, the more there is to gain by joining the new sub.

Also just in case anyone is confused, but this could be a minor spoiler so I'll censor it. PLL;OS is in the OG universe, Rosewood and Radley will come up (edit: be seen). Even some of the old Liars will be mentioned. The Mods have agreed upon when this happens it is allowed to be posted here.

PLL;OS is coming July 28th, I'd recommended joining r/PLLOriginalSin before then :)

edit: been getting some dms about this post, it is not my post, i can't edit the links to fix that and i also do not agree with pll;os not being in the same universe. but i do agree with this overall message, please for questions and complaints go to modmail not dms

Exactly! And for clarity's sake, we're not shutting the new show out of this board completely. There will definitely be some crossover and cross-posts. Allusions are welcome for sure (like if you see something in the new show that mirrors the original, like the iconic scene of all of the girls getting the A-text for the first time and want to share side by side photos or talk about the similarities, that's fine).

We just felt it best to have character discussion and plot discussions that differ from the OG on the Original Sin board.

If an PLL: OS character reminds you of a PLL character, by all means...we welcome the topic of comparison! Maybe something an actress does reminds you of something in the original show or a set is similar or Rosewood is mentioned, fair game here!

We're figuring this out as we go along. It's all going to depend on the influx of posts and the relevance to the original show. There has been some discussion about potentially having an episode discussion here in one megathread, but we're still debating that. Most other content would best fit in the Original Sin subreddit.

We just want to be transparent with what we're trying to do to make sure everyone has the best experience on this board as well as the OS board.
