Comments can be posted as a quick shout or a more detailed review. All comments must be at least 5 words and anything over 200 words is automatically marked as a review.

We reserve the right to remove any content that breaks these rules. Repeated violators will be banned from commenting.

## Things you should do…

- Be respectful, we all love different TV shows and movies!
- It’s ok to have different opinions and offer constructive criticism, but don’t be mean or harrassing
- All comments and replies must be at least 5 words
- Comments 200 words or longer will be automatically marked as a review
- Mark spoilers that reveal important plot elements
- Use markdown for formatting — cheat sheet
- Use emoji

## Things you should _ **not** _ do…

- Trolling, abuse, threats, and harassment will not be tolerated
- Promote hate, violence or intolerance based on race, age, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation
- Ask where to watch something or share links to copyrighted content — more info
- Post spam or advertisements
- Ask support related questions — use our support forums for that
- Post the same comment multiple times — please check to make sure you haven’t posted duplicate comments
