Ask the mods anything

@team blueplant  
That meme mix though! xD

If all the mods got into one big battle royale who would come out victorious?

@SquiggyBomb  
There is only one way to find out~

derpibooru overlords
 
im bored, what do?

@team blueplant
 
 

@team blueplant  
I’m too depressed to play anything right now.
 
@SquiggyBomb  
I’d give up right away, so not me.

Is Cuphead or Mug Man cuter?

@ArkyNoid  
Cuphead.

@ArkyNoid  
Sirene.  
 
So majestic…

@ArmadilloEater  
Them hips sink ships

@ArmadilloEater  
Relevant.

Can someone explain to me what happend with DHX and their e-mails?
 
Did someone leak somehting form them?

@ice1517  
There was an information leak from DHX, yes. The content of those leaks is not to be shared on Derpibooru, and I advise you to stay away from it.

@ArmadilloEater  
why?

@nerfherder  
Because we said so, mostly.
 
Derpibooru has always taken a stand against hosting leaked content before it was made publicly available by the vendor. This is no different.

@Arcaire  
“because we said so”  
Thats not exactly an appropriate answer. I’m pretty sure he was asking why himself specifically should stay away from the leak, the answer to which being to avoid spoilers, whether legit or not, to avoid upsetting him or getting his hopes up.  
Him staying away from the leak has absolutely nothing to do with sharing the leaked content on derpibooru.

@zippysqrl  
Cool.

@Arcaire  
“because we said so”  
that’s not a very good answer

@nerfherder  
Be fair - it wasn’t a particularly well phrased question. If the entirity of the question is “Why” then “Because” is already replying with twice the bytes of data as the request.
 
Although, admittedly, for myself I would have replied with “why what?”, because there’s more than one possible path in that state engine.

So now the contents of Equestria Girls and Season 8 have been leaked. What is up with that?

@Ciaran  
ok fine  
why do the mods ban anyone with leaked content? what’s the big deal?  
that better?

@nerfherder
 
Because users should know better. Quite apart from the legal issues in linking to leaked private, confidential, corporate e-mails and files, the actual content of those files breaks several of the rules here, in particular rules about privacy.
 
Anyone who really wants to see the leaks will know where to find them. What we want to avoid is the liability of providing links to, or hosting, the content of those leaks. The bans are, as I said, because people should know better.

@Archonix  
now see, THAT’S a good and fair answer

A question for all mods why can’t we have nice things the mlp show is getting super leaked like last season now they even got the next season leaked what’s your thoughts about it or how can something like this happen

This is supposed to be a light-hearted thread; take your questions about leaks and rules elsewhere.
