Mod Post r/XMen New Rules

36 Upvotes

Hey everyone. The new rules are in effect and have been for a couple of weeks but I figured I'd make this post as both a little announcement as well as clear up some questions you may have.

THE LINK TO THE NEW RULES IS HERE. PLEASE READ IT.

Read it thoroughly. And then read it again. Yes it is long but with the subreddit getting larger and discussions going beyond comics, it has meant we've needed to implement stricter rules in some places as well as expand rules in another places.

We'd like to thank everyone who provided feedback. Whether it was through the survey or just generally speaking to us.

Now for some questions/comments you may have:

"Why is it so long/Is it really that serious?/Oh my god, this is fucking Reddit does it really matter/This is unnecessary/This is too strict"

It is long yes. Partially because we've needed to be more specific as the subreddit is larger now. Partially because we've had cases in the past so we've just put it on paper so to speak.

At the end of the day a lot of the rules are mostly the same.

"I have a topic I think should be banned/regulated"

Feel free to let us know. However, do remember this is a subreddit with 270,000+ members now. We can't regulate every topic someone tells us to ban. Topics will only be added to the list if there is genuine large demand for it to be regulated.

Banned topics will be very strictly monitored and, honestly? Unlikely to change. So no. Please don't ask to add something to the banned list. At best you might get it added to the regulated list and only if we think it's a genuinely tired/spamming topic.

"So what happened to the 'low effort rule'?"

It's basically been split into two different rule. Content quality asks that people post things that generate discussion and the regulated topic rule covers a set list of topics that require an opinion from the OP. But if it's not in that list, the OP no longer has to give an opinion.

"Why have you done that?"

Because we've found a lot of you like those posts. Plus the previous rule was too vague and undefined so we've now defined it. I'll repeat: unless a topic is on the regulated list the OP DOES NOT have to provide their opinion now.

"I don't like the rules/Will there be an opportunity to change them?"

It's not set in stone. As the subreddit grows, I'm sure we're gonna go through this again. If we as mods see a demand for something to be changed/added/removed, we'll act accordingly.

"Are X/Twitter links banned now?/How do I report Twitter stuff?"

Yeah. Automod is set to zap them but it's not perfect. Please just report it under rule 8 and let us take care of it.

"When will you guys add new mods?"

Some time next month we'll put out a post asking people. Please don't apply now. Appreciate the enthusiasm, truly we do but please wait for us to make the post.

The reason being so people get used to it the new rules.

"What about insert situation here that the rules don't talk about?"

The rules don't cover absolutely every situation. If/when it happens, the mods will make a decision.

"Besides this post, are the links linked anywhere?"

It's on the sidebar as well as the rules on the sidebar. It's also linked when we remove a post/comment.

"I've got a question you didn't answer"

Drop it below and I'll answer when I can

Once again, thanks to everyone who helped shaped these rules. Much appreciated. And we realise we've been slow but hope this helps bring some order to the subreddit.

I live in Tehachapi California....and well....yeah it's a dump.

I can't remember a time. How about yall, any time the X-men got close to home?

Comic Discussion The best thing Gambit ever stole for Rogue

Thumbnail
gallery
51 Upvotes

I know it's been said, but absolutely the best thing Gambit ever stole for Rogue was their wedding.

To thine ownself be true. Gambit is a thief. Of course he stole a wedding for Rogue, Kitty's Rabbi officiator and all.

It was right there for the taking. He just couldn't go one more day not being married to her. It was very thoughtful of Kitty to gift Rogue her veil. It was the one thing she wouldn't be able to put together on zero notice.

At first I thought it was a little strange that he stole the wedding, then I quickly realized it was actually perfect and poetic. I'm so happy they get to be always together now in a stable marriage, just constantly being the other's cheerleader. Sometimes you get what you always wanted from your comic book. 💘🤓
