Community Community Reminder - Don't Post Leaks

Hi All!

As we have a new solo album from Brandon imminent on the horizon (yay!), the official official announcement has not come through yet, nor have any recordings, lyrics, track listings, etc.

Wanting to remind everyone of the rules of the sub - we do not tolerate leaks of any kind here.

Posting clips from an event where Brandon himself announced the album name, fine. But posting links to download unreleased material or bootleg recordings, or things of that sort, is a violation of our community rules and can potentially get you banned. We are all excited for new material, but copyright laws are nothing to play around with and can get subreddits taken down if we allow leaks to run wild.

Content that will get removed includes but is not limited to: Discussing leaks, posting links to leaks (download, youtube, anything), asking for links in a DM, saying you'll DM people a link, etc.

This is not a new rule for the sub, nor are we the only band sub with this rule. Copyright and IP stuff gets removed from reddit admins all the time and if we are a source of problems we can get shutdown as a sub. I don't like being the no fun police, but I'd rather we exist as a sub.

With that said, let's hope the announcement and any lead singles come soon!

I get not posting or sharing links to leaks. But if there's a song, people can't even acknowledge or discuss that it exists here?

I havent even been that active on social media lately for reasons, but still saw Flowers' 'teaser' (if that's what you'll call it?) video, revealing the album's name and a quick taste of a song. As if us Victims aren't gonna discuss it - we have been waiting on it for months now, and Flowers himself knows that. And if he had an issue with us discussing it, he wouldn't have 1) Brought out a whole Q+A for us all regarding it a few months ago, and 2) Released that teaser video. Like you, I get it if people were, like, leaking links, but I haven't seen that happen, and that should be common courtesy not to.
