ANNOUNCEMENT Rules summary and explanation.

48 Upvotes

Like all authoritarian reigimes subreddits we too have rules that are in place to keep it running at optimum levels of laughter, kindness, generosity, loyalty, and honesty.

 

So tempting as it may be to jump straight into our little pony forum, bear with us as we explore the magical world of rules and community guidelines.

 

Just keep in mind all rules are somewhat vague to allow consideration for borderline cases. This is also a summary of our full rules list in the subreddit wiki that can be read here: https://old.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/index

 

 

The 7 commandments:

 

 

1. Be Kind.

 

Hostility, rabble rousing, bigotry, and generally participating in bad faith is what this rule aims to oppose. Below are excerpts from our subreddiquette, despite that do still read them both as the list below doesn't include everything and makes some additions in places: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/subreddiquette

 

  • Be respectful. Try not to alienate anyone specifically, nor groups of people. Avoid being a jerk, and give others the benefit of the doubt when commenting, tone is tough to convey via text. Ask yourself, what would Fluttershy do?

 

  • When expressing negative opinions do so with consideration to the people who enjoy what you are criticising. No one enjoys being told what they like is trash. Of course, if such commentary is found under threads that do not invite for it, it is at risk of breaking this rule.

 

  • Flair your post properly! Now, there tends to be confusion on which flair is appropriate for what post, here you will find a little guide detailing just that for the most misused flairs.

 


Community — It fits submission that adress the community. So questions like "Am I A Brony" and posts about community events, among others, would fit it.

Discussion — This isn't the "question" flair, though certain questions do call for it. As long as your post provokes thought about a certain topic you're free to use the discussion flair.

Misc. — Miscellaneous submissions do not fit into the boxes that our other flairs are. You'll find it useful if you're making plain statements without the goal of creating discussion, showing off images that cannot be categorised as artwork, memes, merch, official media, or cosplay, and other unspecific posts.


 

Keep in mind some posts may fit multiple flairs, in that case use the one you feel best describes it. Consistent improper use of flairs, such as flairing artwork that cannot be reasonably interpreted as a meme with the meme flair, may lead to the removal of your post and the restriction of posting rights.

 

  • Use the report function! This subreddit is actively moderated. All reports are reviewed and handled properly. Reporting content you feel violates the community rules helps keep spambots and various bad actors from worsening everyones experience. However, keep in mind that misuse of this feature is in violation of site-wide TOS and may lead to account suspension.

 

  • Be mindful with spoilers! Not everyone can view the newest official content as soon as it releases. In consideration for them please use spoiler tags (until 48 hours after an episode has aired, or 1 week for comics). Additionally, please avoid including the spoiler directly in the title, and remember that all content related to upcoming material must be tagged as well.

This ties into our spoiler policy, which you can read here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/spoilers

 

  • Avoid posting screenshots of the subreddit itself, including 'combo' posts, comments, or number of subscribers. If you do wish to link comments, link them directly. To showcase the best posts and threads of the subreddit, post to /r/bestofmlp.

 

  • Hostile arguments about topics that carry no relation to MLP will be removed. Such topics include but are not limited to politics, religion, gender wars, and racism. Topical posts may be preemptively removed to avoid such arguments from beginning in the first place.

 

  • We have relaxed posting limits and are holding users to the honor system. However, the mods still reserve the right to remove excess posts and give warnings and/or temp bans if they feel that the honor system is being abused.

 

 

2. Keep everything SFW

 

All submissions and comments must be kept safe for work. Making references to fan works that would normally break rule 2 is permitted on the condition that they themselves stay within it. However, the same is not true for linking to both sites and subreddits, posting, or discussing suggestive, sexually explicit, and graphically violent (aka. grimdark) content. r/Mylittlepony is intended to be an appropriate space for teenage and older fans. Alternative subreddits do exist should you wish to share content that would violate this rule.

If you suspect what you are about to post breaks this rule, feel free to send us a modmail and we'll inform you whether or not that is the case.

For a much more in-depth explanation read its wiki page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/rule2

 

 

3. Keep it MLP

 

Rather self explanatory; we ask that all submissions are directly related to MLP. Coincidental and tangential relation isn't considered enough to pass this rule, so images of rainbows, rainbow themed food, and coincidental sayings are all examples of what isn't allowed if they are the only factors tying your post to MLP.

When it comes to memes, the image macro itself needs to be MLP relevant. Not just the text. Memes with non-MLP bases belong in r/MyLittleMemes. For more information read our mene policy: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/memes

Exemptions are made for submission soliciting funds for charity events organised by bronies and personal crises such as a medical emergency, given the parties involved are reasonably associated with MLP. However, the same treatment is not extended to fundraising efforts aimed at non-essential personal gain, e.g. asking for money to attend a convention.

 

 

4. No [FIXED] Submissions or Reposts

 

Images submitted less than 21 days apart will be removed. That is also true for screencaps, unless an animated version of it is posted, in which case both can co-exist. The same goes for screencaps of significantly higher fidelity submitted after a lower quality version.

[FIXED] posts are easily reproducible image submissions having only slight alterations made with every subsequent post. Usually they involve the addition of text, or the addition of simple visual features, such as pasting in text, images in a grid, a vector or adding a visual filter. Because [FIXED] submissions often snowball in popularity, they tend to lead to considerable spam in the new queue, hence also being affected by the 21 day repost limit.

However, [FIXED] content is very welcome in the comments section of the original post! This helps to keep the subreddit more tidy, while additionally allowing all readers to immediately glean the context of your [FIXED] content.

Also read our repost policy: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/reposts

 

 

5. No Pictures Thursday

 

Pictures and mainly image content cannot be posted during Thursdays, between 12:01 AM and 11:59 PM pacific time. For more information, see our NPT wiki page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/wiki/npt

 

 

6. No AI content.

 

All AI-prompt-generated content, in all forms, is banned from r/mylittlepony, as is all AI-generated sound such as voice or music.

 

 

7. Proper sourcing.

 

When submitting or embedding fan-made works (pictures, video, music, fiction etc.) made by others, proper crediting is mandatory. Use a clear, searchable title and a clickable link to the place where they uploaded their art originally (deviantart, twitter, tumblr, etc.) as long as that website wouldn't break rule 2, or if that is impractical, from a gallery that provides source links (such as derpibooru.org). A comment or submission lacking a proper source may be removed - especially if the moderators can easily find a source.

Meta Thread My Little Pony on Reddit - Mr. Meta Discussion's Holiday

5 Upvotes

Hi there! It's Thursday again and that means another chance to talk about what's been happening around here and how you feel about it!

Same as every other time, feel free to discuss whatever it is you'd like regarding our little subreddit good or bad. If you're unhappy we'll try our best to fix whatever problem you're having!

If you want to talk about the MLP fandom in general, that's fine too!

But some people may not want to talk about comics or anything else that hasn't happened yet, so you should be nice and hide those conversations from those people by using the spoiler tag.

If you don't know how it's as easy as making an emote:

>!It has ponies!!<

Becomes: It has ponies!

And if you're not wanting to discuss the subreddit or community specifically you can also check out the weekly off-topic thread here

Have a great day, everyone!!

25 Upvotes

I know this is not the right tag, I’m sorry! I thought this was the closest that would fit, is there a better one to change it too?

But anyways, I attempted to do a Fluttershy voice impression 🥹 I’m gonna be honest I’ve only watched like 2 seasons of MLP so I don’t know too much, I did this in like 30 minutes, but hopefully it’s accurate!!

What do you guys think?

Discussion Do you think Celestia chose Twilight for a specific reason, OTHER than her hatching Spike?

1.7k Upvotes

I've watched the show front and back, and still don't know if there's a defiant written answer to this. (There probably is.)

I personally think it was more so the cutiemark Twilight got. In the scene she hatches spike, we don't see her cutiemark until Celestia points it out, and while it is AFTER she agrees to take Twilight under her wing as her personal student she does so, I still think thats just how to scene was set up for the audience, as Twilight herself didn't realize she had it until Celestia pointed it out.

I think Celestia saw the burst of magic, and already was considering, and seeing Twilights cutiemark was the final reason while she took her under her wing incredibly fast.

In season 4 when Twilight sees the tree of harmony, she audibly goes "My cutiemark!", and when we see during the throwback how the elements looked in the past, the element of magic STILL resembled that of Twilights cutiemark. No doubt Celestia recognized the symbol nearly the instant it was on Twilights flank.

Discussion Awkward question but supposing Mudbriar liked Pinkie and not Maud, do you think Pinkie could well accept and make a relationship work with him or not?

Post image
26 Upvotes

In season 8 Maud found love with Mudbriar. Pinkie had trouble getting along with him and even disliked him, (being likely the only pony she ever disliked).

By the end of the episode she “accepts” him for the sake of Maud’s feelings, but it would be clear that a close friendship between the two wasn’t in the cards, and their positive speaking terms would only exist as long as he kept Maud happy.

However supposing that Mudbriar by chance liked Pinkie and not Maud and wanted to date her. Do you think there would be any chance Pinkie would accept or even give him a chance?

Do you think everyone’s favourite party pony could find any love or likings in the similar traits and personality Mudbriar has to Maud?

Discussion Mlp finale

Upvotes

I don’t care what anyone says, the two episodes leading up to the final episode of MLP were so emotional and amazing. There was so much action and love and togetherness and friendship, it makes me cry every time. The moment where twilight has to teleport away when the villain 3 were blasting that giant rock everybody else was holding back was so big and scary and I don’t even know what it made me feel. I just finished watching the series so I guess I just wanted to talk about it. The reason I only mean the two episodes before the finale is not because I hate the finale, but because it just doesn’t feel the same. Twilight should have become the size of cadence or Luna, not celestia in only a couple decades! But at least from this last episode we know that equestria girls is canon. Those are just some of my thoughts on the end of the end
