Each year when the new seasons start up, I get a crop of episode submissions for the guides, many of which do not meet TV.com criteria (which you can find at the forum post titled Criteria of Acceptance: Episode Submissions for NEW Unaired Shows...). All episode submissions must meet those guidelines -- and these are rules that need to be followed by not only the average submitter, but also editors and trusted users.

What are the guidelines? Simply this -- any submissions for new, unaired episodes must provide a source link (in the comments field), and must have two of the following:
- Episode Title
- Episode Airdate
- Episode Summary

Which means that if it doesn't have two of the three, it shouldn't be there. And UNKNOWN, TBA, etc, are not valid episode titles. I've never seen a situation where the summary and airdate are known but not a title -- a far more likely scenario is that the airdate and title are known but not the summary, or the airdate and summary are known but not the title.

And any submissions for any episode that hasn't aired yet (according to the TV.com guidelines in that link, which are provided by the administration) must be accompanied by a link. And the IMDb is not a valid source.

Thank you very much.
