Um, how exactly was what I wrote a "spoiler"? The story itself was already told in the episode Fall so there's really nothing "new" in this episode to be spoiled. I read the spoiler policy that you linked and nothing in it indicated that anything I wrote was out-of-bounds and, furthermore, I noticed other commenters also wrote specifics about the episode but I seem to have been singled out for some reason? For reference, here is a copy of what I wrote:

''​I have a bit of a hypothesis regarding the relationship between the old man in the story, the Maidens, and Ozpin. The Maidens transfer their "Season" powers upon death and they made a promise to come back to visit the old man. He knew (since he cast the spell) that their power would outlive both them and himself. He was long-lived, but still considered "old" so it was probably a matter of life-extension which couldn't go on forever. So he cast a similar spell on himself, except this time, the thing that passes on upon death was memory and experience. It's similar to the characters of Noah/Lutz/Rune from the Phantasy Star series. So I theorize Ozpin is the current possessor of the Old Man's memories and when he dies, those memories will go to someone else.''

Exactly what in that was a "spoiler" that hasn't already been made clear in previous episodes? After all, I had this theory since soon after the episode Fall when the Story of the Seasons was first released. As a forum moderator myself, let me give you a bit of professional advise. It's improper to simply "carpet bomb" rules without a full, logical analysis of the situation. You've got to read, understand, and make a logical conclusion before applying moderation. In this case, understand that just because someone is talking about the episode doesn't mean that they are spoiling it because, especially in this series, not all episodes are self-contained; many have call-backs to previous events in the series. I'll look past it as a simple matter of overzealousness this time, but keep in mind that things like this can be bad for the community.
