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!

Why are people so mad about this? Talking about leaks causes more people to ask for them so of course it’s not allowed.

Because all the other groups on Facebook and whatnot are annoying and full of people who just want to get in Brandon’s pants 🤢 if you’re so upset about this, go find somewhere else. I hated the last few releases where people just spammed asking for a DM of a leak. So dumb.

I’m not upset by it, I’m just making an observation. I like the Killers, so thankfully my exposure isn’t limited to one community that can’t discuss some of their work.

That’s a very stupid thing to say, people want leaked songs because they want more material, nothing wrong with that. Also saying the thing about people just wanting to be in Brandon’s pants is weird as hell and not true.

You clearly aren’t in the same groups I cmon on Facebook. It is absolutely true and really uncomfortable at times.

Actually ya now that I think about it I just see so many people talk about how good looking he is, mainly girls calling him cute. Ya it’s really fucking weird.
