With all our big news over the past days, it's a delight but not a huge surprise that we're a trending subreddit!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the great discussions we've been having, and welcome to our new subscribers!

Some exciting things that have happened in the past few days, since this post will clobber our stickies for a day:

• Season 4 of The Expanse has been officially announced! It will be released on December 13th on Amazon Prime Video, and will largely follow the events of Book 4, Cibola Burn, with some additional plotlines. Look around our recent top posts for epic trailers and good discussion. If you're new to the show, you can find Seasons 1-3 there now. We also recommend you check out the books!

• Original Soundtracks for Seasons 2 and 3 were finally released! We've been hoping and waiting for them for ages. You can now find them on most streaming services, and they're just amazing.

• Many other exciting things happened at SDCC. You can read our news thread of important moments, and see plenty of video and summaries in recent posts.

Here's a quick reminder of our rules, for everyone here. You can find them in more detail on the sidebar.

• Practice good Rediquette! Think before you post, and always be respectful of your fellow community members and of the people who create the show we love.

• Tag your spoilers! By default, use Reddit's spoiler tagging system on every plot spoiler, first saying what book or show episode you'll be spoiling, then covering the spoilery text. It looks like ExampleBookTitlespoilery stuff, and can be accessed by highlighting the spoilery text and clicking the ! button in the fancy editor, or by directly surrounding your spoilery text in angle brackets and bangs, like this **ExampleBookTitle** >!spoilery stuff!< in the standard editor. If your post will contain any spoilers, be sure to tag it as a spoiler, so the preview image or text will be hidden.

• Never, ever put spoilers in your post title. They can't be hidden, and your post will be removed.

• Two of our flairs are also helpful in determining what spoilers are allowed. If a user has put a "Spoilers All (Show Only)" or "Spoilers All (Books and Show)" flair on their thread, they are allowing all spoilers to be discussed without hiding them. If you haven't finished the show or read the books, click on these threads with extreme caution.
  The other flairs only show the scope of discussion. Unless you see a "Spoilers All," tag your spoilers, and report any comments that don't.

• Keep posts on topic. All posts should promote interesting, welcoming, Expanse-relevant discussion. Respectful questions and discussion posts are almost always allowed, along with links to articles that come along with thoughtful commentary and analysis that relates them to The Expanse. We also love fanart and cosplay.

• If you'd like to post a link that would interest our subscribers but isn't directly related to The Expanse, like a neat futurology article without accompanying commentary, some great atmospheric music, or an astronomy photo of something random that looks like the Protomolecule, post it in our Monday Megathread. That thread is a great place to go to find interesting links when you're bored!

• Some examples of "low effort" posts that are never allowed are memes and image macros, shitposting, screenshots of other subreddits, photos of Expanse memorabilia or books without other interesting information, recent reposts, links to pirate The Expanse or other media, and anything that goes against Rediquette.
