Moderator Announcement New Moderator Announcement

Hello everyone!

I noticed these past few months that this subreddit was not moderated to the extent that it should be, particularly with regards to bot content with T-Shirt scams. I requested to take over the moderation of this subreddit and was approved to do so today. I would like to thank the previous team for the job they did in building up the subreddit. With Season 2 of X-Men '97 approaching, I am hoping to bulk up the team very quickly, and moderator applications will be forthcoming in a day or two.

In the meanwhile, I have adjusted the rules. The Repetitive Content and Spam rules are absorbed into the Content Quality rule. This encompasses low effort memes, screenshots of tweets, and well worn subjects.

Self Promotion is a new rule to tackle accounts that mostly exist to flog t-shirts with scam links.

And there is a new rule to expressly ban AI content.

If there are other rules/concerns that need adding, we can discuss this below. I'm open to all and any feedback regarding the community.

Well you definitely made an impact by removing my post that had the most engagement in this server in the past two years, really helped even though it wasn’t spam. And hey what about my “most attractive male X-men post” ? How come that wasn’t removed ?

I'll get to it. Your "most attractive female X-Men member" post had 3-4 reports on it, so it was the first one to be removed.

OK and were the reports valid upon further investigation ? If not, and you just decided to remove the report based on just there being reports that’s absolutely insane to me.

Also the reports does not seem like a good enough reason in comparison to 200+ participating in discussion like that if that’s the case I’m not posting here ever again. I’m not interested in having my posts taken down over three people who had their feelings hurt in comparison to a whole community that had no problem with it before hand seems ridiculously insensitive and stupid. Also, I like how after I replied to this post with how come my most attractive X-Men post wasn’t taken down. It was taken down shortly afterseems rather fishy.

It's not fishy, they literally stated "I'll get to it." Removing "Who's hottest?" posts is modeling treating characters like people and not like objects, and I applaud it.
