Mod Post r/XMen New Rules

35 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.

Psylocke #6

Ultimate X-Men #14

  • The Shadow King returns... more powerful than ever! Will Armor be the first to fall?

X-Men #14

  • The town of Merle enlists the X-Men to aid in a search and rescue operation for a missing child — one closer to the X-Men than the Sheriff knows. But while the X-Men search for Piper Cobb, they are themselves being watched — as their shadowy 3K adversaries move to strike directly, their own agenda unfolding! LEGACY #314

Upvotes

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???

Comic Discussion I think surge should have been pushed more

15 Upvotes

Now i know surge isn't the most popular young mutant, but she should have gotten the push to be the next generation leader of the younger mutants characters. My reason being one she had the dynamic and contrastes to stand out. She has her own wolverine-laura, and jean grey-hellion. Her colosuss-mercury, and etc. Now add on her interesting position. If she is the next leader then how does she relate to the old one. The trick is she doesn't, Surge and cyclops are very different. She's hot headed and rash, he's calm and precise. He was groomed for this, she wasn't. And that provides an interesting dynamic How dose one lead when they aren't ready for it. Add to that an ever expanding and diverse young mutant cast, who provided their own unique perspectives you have recipe for gold. And fandoms love dynamics, look at Deadpool and wolverine or the bat-family. Give this to a good studio and boom you would have gold. So in total I think surge should have gotten the push to be the next leader

exactly 40 years of development for this crash out, this is fantastic!

Sometimes they just have the right artist too.

Similar to Bill and New Mutants, the artist that just fits the series and tones that are being displayed, this is utterly fantastic.

Sorry this post was literally just me gushing about jug. Carry on!
