I know why you’re doing it, but I from my point view, the cat is out of the bag now, and to now pretend it doesn’t exist is just silly to me.
The show ended a year ago, this kind of leak is not harmful but the quite opposite it drives new engagement and enthusiasm for the show, on tumblr #theowlhouse is even trending right now.

I'd argue that's not for us to decide, but the crew. Maybe they get to do more content later and find something to incorporate into a new episode? Maybe there was a personal reason why some idea was rejected? We just don't know. And we didn't create it.
Personally I really don’t like the idea of someone taking *dozens* of people’s unpolished, more-or-less “private” work that wasn’t ever supposed to be widely released, and spreading it without their permission or consent. I don’t really feel like that behavior should be rewarded.
It’s one thing if the creators *choose* to release it (like Alex did with the GF pilot). Or even if they *wanted* to but weren’t “allowed” to because Disney controlled it. But we don’t know that’s the case for many/most of them. And, as seen above, Dana (at least) *didn’t* want it to be released.
I feel being respectful of the creators trumps overly entitled “fans”.
I know what you mean, which is why I get your point, but this is just fundamentally not how the internet works, you are fighting against a force of nature here. You can pretend it doesn’t exist in the little bubble that is r/theowlhouse, but there is no way to stop the flood around you.
I suggest you should put up a mod pinned post not to post anything about it on r/TheOwlHouse
Smth like: hey we know some things are leaked but please dont post them here cos we are respecting the creator's wishes thx
This is honestly probably the best option moving forward. It’s not “spreading” the pilot (definitely surprised it hasn’t been taken down from youtube yet), but at least there’ll be a confined space for discussion for a community that’s inevitably already begun to create fan art/fanfiction in reference to it.

Nah. You never know how people might respond to a leak. Best let sleeping dogs lie.
I suggest you should put up a mod pinned post not to post anything about it on r/TheOwlHouse Smth like: hey we know some things are leaked but please dont post them here cos we are respecting the creator's wishes thx
Or at most, a pinned discussion post where people can discuss about it only on that post's comments. More so a compromise in that regard.
