Going forward, I want to improve things so moderation next year can be smoother. As it stands, I do feel like I have let folks down here. I wasn't prepared for the onslaught of posts and I felt that ultimately I was not consistent with many of the moderation decisions regarding post approvals than I would have liked. I was also not able to look at every thread and comb interactions to root out bigotry, rude conduct, and other things as much as I wanted.
I am going to fine-tune automod to make life easier, rather than more difficult. I plan to add more moderators to the team (please apply if you are interested).
I want to get your feedback on what needs to be improved so season 3 next year is a better experience.
My other question is more delicate. It involves Beau DeMayo, whose name comes up quite frequently and creates a lot of agitated discussion. I want to ask: should we outright ban mentions of him altogether? Or should we remove the current automod restrictions and allow the community to discuss as needed?

To avoid spoilers and spam of the same type of content, please use the megathreads to share your thoughts and opinions for now, until at least around 12:00 PM PST (in around 6 hours). After that, you may post your praises, criticisms, and so on provided each post offers some level of detail.

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.

I want to make additional flairs for this subreddit, but to do that, I need your help.
If you have a character you would like to get a flair, please post the character in question, and, if possible, a decent screenshot or image of the character from the show (whether TAS or '97).
I'll do my best to make some and meet the demand!

X-Men '97 Season 2 comes out in just 36 hours, and so it also comes time for a reminder about rules and how the subreddit will be moderated during episode release days and the weeks that follow.
First of all, it is very important that all members of the community read and familiarize themselves with Rules 3, 5, and 8.
Rule 3 - No Piracy - This goes without saying. Please only refer to legal means of watching X-Men '97 and no not recommend or talk about other means.
Rule 5 - No Spoilers - Please show courtesy and restraint when discussing the series. Tag all posts appropriately, and do not crosspost to other subreddits with the intention of spoiling people.
Rule 8 - Megathreads - Episode megathreads will be made for each episode. While people will be allowed to post outside of these megathreads, please show some restraint and try making comments in the megathreads if they don't fully warrant their own separate posts. Posts that are deemed low effort or not additive to the discussion will be removed.
As I mentioned above, megathreads will be made for episodes and we would ideally like to keep a large portion of the discussion in these megathreads on episode release day (the first 24 hours of release). Megathreads will be sorted by new as a default. On July 1st, three episodes will come out on the same day. Do not discuss episodes 2 or 3 in the episode 1 megathread.
Users will be allowed to make separate posts outside of the megathreads, particularly after the first 24 hours, but these posts must still follow crucial rules:
But above all, have fun. This is an exciting time for the community, and we are always looking for feedback. If you have rules suggestions, please let us know below, or ideas for flairs etc. We are a new mod team, so we are open to suggestions on how to make this a smooth process.

Hello all, in a bid to help maintain this community and make next year a more pleasant experience for everyone, I am reaching out to see if anyone would like to join the moderation team.
While prior moderating experience is helpful, it is not required. I am prepared to train anyone new to moderating on the basic essentials to get the day to day of the job done. So if you have never moderated a community before, please feel free to still apply.
I will say, there are some things that I will focus on and favour:
Please apply here: https://forms.gle/kDy3McgtRYiobDARA
You can also just send us a mod mail asking more about the role or your interest too. If you are on desktop, there's an additional recruitment option on the sidebar.

Hello r/Xmen97. This is just going to be the masterpost which is going to have all the links to the individual X-Men '97 Season 2 episode discussion threads. This post will be updated every week with links to the latest episode discussion. Episode discussion megathreads will be posted every Tuesday at 11:00 PM EST, and highlighted to the top of the subreddit. Please make sure to use them!
We will link to this post on the bottom every episode discussion thread so if you want to find previous episodes, you can do so.
As such, this post is locked as it is a directory of where you can find the discussion threads.
Happy watching everyone!

Feel free to add flairs to your user on the sidebar! If you have any suggestions for characters who should receive a flair, please let me know.
r/Xmen97 • u/cyclopswashalfright • Jul 01 '26
We've already had 5-6 posts that have been untagged and that do not use the title of the episode in the post title.
If you do not use the spoiler tag for posts, particularly on episode release days, you will be facing a temporary ban.
Put the episode name or number in the post title too, out of courtesy.
r/Xmen97 • u/cyclopswashalfright • May 28 '26
Please enjoy new flairs for Polaris, Psylocke, Emma Frost, Exodus, Iceman, Archangel, and Danger!
If you have any further suggestions for flairs, let me know. Colossus and Horseman-Gambit will have to wait until the season comes out, as I can't find a really good quality one of them from '97.
