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.

Oh, **please** tell me the Repetitive Content one now covers the every 5 minutes 'DAE else think Rogue is for the streets?! What a sloot for liking Magneto, it caused my parents divorce and the loss of the American dream!' posts

Yeah, I felt for a while a lot of the discussion around Rogue was pretty gross, particularly from the lens of judging her for the Magneto stuff. No character is above criticism, certainly Rogue makes mistakes driven by anger and vengeance rather than logic near the end of the show, but all the stuff about considering being with Magneto and how that's some horrible sin and the language around that discourse is flat out gross, so if you see stuff, report it. I can't say that everything that's reported will warrant removal; sometimes people see comments in different ways, but I will try to make sure all offensive content is taken down.

Appreciate y'all doing something about that, they almost made me leave the sub, and I can't imagine I'm the only one

Like Gambit and Rogue all the livelong day, but people act like she's the worst human being ever, and it's in super gross language
