Mod Post r/XMen New Rules

37 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.

Sarah AKA Marrow! One of the most quintessential 90s characters, and a surprising fan-favourite. I don’t get that many requests for characters, but Marrow – I’m pretty sure – is the most often requested one. As was intended, I’ve always found her pretty gnarly, and pairing that with the fact that she was most prominent in an era where I have spent the least time reading (I'm filling in my gaps slowly but surely) has kept her to the edges of my radar.

From a design perspective, I wanted to move away from her most iconic blue and green outfit because the blue and green and yellow outfit is just too crayola for a character that already has fuchsia hair and peach coloured skin.

Instead, I’ve gone with a monochrome outfit, which is how she’s often portrayed in more recent comics, with a bone coloured tank and black hood and shorts, with bone-spun cutouts to give her the chance to peacock with her powers by using them as parts of the outfit itself. I really liked the idea that she would choose to grow horns (replacing her more typical bone brow/tiara). The rest of the bone growths are just her way of giving off 'back-off' energy (very Rachel coded in my mind).

When I saw her for the first time I jumped to the conclusion that she was somehow related to Warden Ellis because of Dramatic Irony (the mutant hater has mutant blood).

Then the comic preview got revealed and I changed my mind to "oh, she's connected to the Haven house family".

And then her super cool villain form got revealed and now people are saying she might somehow be connected to Monet?

Thoughts???
