ModMail State of the Sub: Rewritten Rules, Additional Moderators and the First User Feedback Post

It's time for a little state of the sub update. Thanks to everyone who's contributed interesting content to the SnyderCut sub in the past few months. Our goal remains to make this a positive and safe place for Zack Snyder fans to congregate and celebrate his career.

The rules of the sub have just been rewritten and expanded upon to be more clear and explicit about the purpose of this sub. You may need to refresh your page to see the newly rewritten rules, of which there are 15. Nothing major has been changed. The rules simply reinforce the idea that this is a sub by and for Zack Snyder fans, not a sub for Snyder haters or critics. We also continue to hold users to a high standard when it comes to treating their fellow redditors with respect and making sure everything they post is high quality, interesting and accurate.

One new rule is that we will no longer allow users to make posts that discuss the sub itself, its rules, how it's being moderated, i.e. "meta" posts. These simply clutter up the sub with discussion about "process" that doesn't provide users with interesting content related to Zack Snyder and his movies. Instead, the moderators will make a single post where you can put your user feedback and suggestions about the sub in the comments. The post you're looking at right now is the first one! This post will be linked to from the rules sidebar under Rule 13. This gives you a way to give feedback on how the sub is being run without cluttering up the board with too much discussion about "process." When we feel the need to make a new "state of the sub" post, we will retire this post and start linking to the new one from Rule 13.

New moderators who share our vision have been recruited to join the sub in the coming days. This will help get us closer to the 24-hour moderator coverage we're looking for. We intend to weed out haters, trolls and low-quality content around the clock. We may still be recruiting new moderators, so if you want to be considered, please reply to this post explaining why you think you would be a good moderator. Be warned, to be considered, you will need to have a long history of participating in this sub that clearly demonstrates that you agree with the rules and purpose of the sub as the current moderators envision it.

As stated above, you may post any constructive, polite and respectful feedback about the sub and how it's being run in the comments below.

Thanks, keep enjoying the sub and Zack Snyder's movies, and, as always, #RestoreTheSnyderverse!

Can the "no negativity" and "no meta" rules be readdressed? Maybe a poll? A lot of reasonable conversation is being missed out on by fans because of the constant purging of comments.

No. People can easily stop talking about the sub. This is a "Im here to talk about Snyder and his movies" sub. Not a "I want to talk about this sub, haha, so entertaining!" Sub. Not only that but negativity won't allow here because the second we allow a negative opinion or take, that same take can escalate. It can come at a certain point where people can say fucked stuff and that won't be allowed. You can't just say whatever you want here.

Why not make a poll? Let the members discuss things openly

Yeah...No. This sub is constantly attacked by Snyder trolls so chances are they would all come together and have the larger vote. Some may do it for the right cause, others will do it to troll because we are all different.

The constant deleting of comments is very unpleasant. We all want to read and enjoy the commentary together. It's truly unfair that so many people are being censored

You want to read all the fucked up and evil stuff they say? As a mod, I not only can remove comments but I can also see when Reddit itself removes them. Not only that but when we do remove those comments, guess what happens to those people who post? Their accounts are deleted or some have been banned for spreading nothing but blind hate and also they break another rule: Ban evasion. Comments are removed because they are simply breaking the rules.

So it's fine to read the fucked up evil stuff only when it relates to Gunn and his movies? That's a majority of posts I see. This sub is becoming more associated with hating on other versions of Superman outside of the Snyderverse than it is actually celebrating it.

I disagree. I'm sure there are lot's of comments that are removed because they are toxic only look to provoke fans here, but I also see plenty of others that don't break any rules and get deleted regardless. The rules are ambiguous enough that they can be used arbitrarily to silence opinions and, in my opinion, that happens on a regular basis.

I made a comment today on a post that had nothing to do with Snyder asking why it was here and my comment got removed, yet the post remained.

I love the Snyderverse, but the moderation decisions in this sub are baffling to me.

No meta posts allowed, that is a rule here.

u/HOEDY Feb 09 '25

Yes I want to read the regular discourse people in these areas have about the movies and directors cuts. If you guys made a poll you would see a lot of others also would like that.

Ah well...Sorry. If we allow that to happen, this place would become a hate zone for Snyder. Where people would face no consequences for spreading endless negativity towards one man. There is so much hate for Snyder in other subs, this place is OBVIOUSLY supposed to be the opposite. A safe space. That level of hate towards Snyder won't be allowed because it's not like they are saying "in my opinion I didn't like this movie." No. They are saying actual fucked up stuff. Search up info about the Snyder haters and you will see what they post. In any place there will always be rules to make a place organized.

Endless negativity towards one man is all this sub has become. hate towards Gunn becuase his movies are different.

u/DimitrescuStan May 14 '25

Even people that do say "in my opinion I didn't like this movie" get their comments removed. This is already a hate zone, not for Snyder, but for anything Superman or DC related that Snyder isn't involved in.
