Honestly, when Rooster Teeth was planning on making episodes FIRST members only for an entire week instead of just 24 hours, we were actually thinking about ditching the spoiler policy because, while we do want to respect their exclusivity stuff, we can't let that make the wiki be an entire episode behind until the volume ends. But the Rooster Teeth community's outcry caused them to change their minds and say "Okay, okay, if you have a normal free account, you only have to wait 24 hours like before."

Considering that we write transcripts and take a bunch of screenshots, updating the wiki before it's available to non-FIRST members would probably contribute to people finding ways to get their RWBY fill while avoiding paying for a FIRST membership. This is also why it's against our rules to link to or tell people where to find pirated versions of RWBY.
