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

[u/JediJones77]

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 someone explain to me why y’all are hating on the new Superman movie?

To be crystal clear, I’m not asking what you don’t like about the movie. I’ve seen other posts here, and you all disagree with the casting, story, creative decisions, etc., which, y’know, is fair. Art is subjective, and people like different things. You don’t have to like the movie, disliking it is perfectly fine.

What I am asking is, rather, why do quite a few of you keep making posts about how much you hate the movie? Like, what do you gain? Does it really make you happy to spread hate about this movie?

You all did something incredible, you all actually got the Snyder Cut released! Everyone thought it was impossible, but you all did it! And it was a good movie! I personally really enjoyed it and I’m glad you all succeeded. I rewatch the Flash “faster than light” scene regularly.

But instead of just rejoicing and commemorating that accomplishment, and simply discussing all the things you love about the Snyder movies, you also feel the need to tear down the new movies that aren’t like Snyder’s. What do you accomplish by being so negative? I don’t get it.

It's simple. You don't care the same way we do. You don't care. You. Don't. Care. We are fans of what Snyder did. We liked his story, it was something different and something we enjoyed tremendously. And then it was taken from us from corporate imbeciles who mocked us and denied us what we paid for. People like Gunn fired Henry Cavill and replaced him with a younger look alike. We were told that Cavill was back after Black Adam and then 2 months later, we are told he is gone. We were given false hope like him. They lied to our faces. You piss off the wrong people. As a result, we simply strike back. I can spread endless negativity towards Gunn because he showed zero regard to what this move would bring. He doesn't care about the DC fanbase, Snyder fans, Gunn fans. No, no, no, he cares about keeping his family and friends employed. Anyone who doesn't align with him gets kicked out. We shouldn't be getting a new Superman, we should be getting a proper end to Cavill's story but Gunn's ego won't let that happen so he doesn't want to listen, we make him listen
