Reddit Is Banning Users That Post Star Wars 7 Spoilers (softpedia.com)

Posted by timothy on from the spoiler-alert dept.

An anonymous reader writes: A few naughty users have started spamming Reddit with Star Wars 7 spoilers, but also hoaxes. Some known Star Wars fans with Reddit accounts were even bombarded with PMs about the upcoming film, with trolls trying to ruin the movie before they saw it. As a result, Reddit is now banning any user that posts Star Wars 7 spoilers. The movie officially launches tomorrow; do you plan to see it? Do you care about spoilers?

    Reddit is not banning anybody.
    The mods of the general movies sub-reddit are banning people who post them in the area they control. The PSA linked in the summary tells people to avoid certain other sub-reddits where the spoilers are also being posted.

    Or is this a Star Wars Master Race thing where everyone else are second class citizens that doesn't deserve protection?

    Goood, gooooood, let the Butthurt flow through you.
