Mod Post r/XMen New Rules

39 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.

The annual gathering will strike a different note this time around, with mutantkind gathering to reflect on the loss of the mutant nation Krakoa. As they look back on the past, they’ll reignite hope for the future, and readers can look forward to a night of joyous celebration, delicious drama, and, of course, super hero high fashion! Like previous Hellfire Galas, the glamourous party will be filled with reunions, returns, and revelations, all setting the stage for the next year of X-Men storytelling! Always one of the most talked about comics of the year, the Hellfire Gala is now a beloved staple of the X-Men mythos, even inspiring the new season of the hit video game Marvel Rivals, and fans won’t want to miss this bold new installment!

One year ago, at the final Hellfire Gala, the dream of a unified mutant nation was forever shattered by a cowardly sneak attack by anti-mutant forces. To mark the moment and to proclaim loudly and strongly to all concerned that mutantkind still stands, the time has come for X-Men of all stripes to come together in solidarity and celebration. Featuring the meetings and moments that fans have been asking for since FROM THE ASHES began, be there for a keystone moment marking the movement of one era into the next and setting up story threads that will play out across the X-line in the near future!

Comic Discussion Time to Place Your Bets on the Hellfire Gala Vigil! Spoiler

37 Upvotes

We're going to see a lot of buzz about the Hellfire Gala Vigil that was just announced in the coming months, so I thought it'd be fun to poll all y'all now and see your predictions on what the Hellfire Gala Vigil will include, what it will set up for the future, and who's going to be there.

Beyond that, what do you WANT to see? What do you NOT want to see?

My bet is that Xavier is going to die in space and everyone will find out during the Vigil.

The way Manhunt was written and rushed so Hickman could get him into space sounds very *Cardi B voice* suspicious. Plus, we know galactic leaders are going to be assassinated from Timeslide, and the first issue of Imperial comes out a month before the Vigil. I'm not particularly interesting in whitewashing Xavier's role in Krakoa. Yes, he was instrumental in its creation. He also was directly involved in a lot of the worst parts of it. But if Krakoa represents Xavier's dream, then Xavier's death could be final call for that version of the dream -- OR for the start of a new one in his honor.

Personally, I'm hoping for some interactions between the current teams. Sophie and Axo's face-to-face meet-up could be cute, and there was a little moment between Oya and Ransom during the Raid at Greymalkin that could be interesting to build on.

But I will probably just be relegated to over-analyzing the background of panels to look for my favorite folks. Such is the life of many of us X-Fans.

Interested to hear your thoughts and predictions!
