Hello everyone, I'm the creator of this subreddit. Since more people have been joining this subreddit and all subreddits have rules, here they are (althought not restrictive rules because no one likes those) but rules of basic respect. And also I want to specify what kind of content is allowed here.
-Main rule and rule that cannot be unbroken under any circumstance: No hate speech (this is the main rule, freedom of speech doesn't equal hate speech). Bigotry and condoning bigotry (racism, sexism, misogyny, LGBTQphobia, chauvinism, racial and gender discrimination, machismo and others) is not allowed here, condoning it even in fiction leaves a bad taste in the mouth. You can like bigoted characters while not condoning nor defending their bigoted actions.
-Thrist posts are perfectly fine and allowed, this means that if you wanna share your thrist over a character, you can do it freely here. (Like for example content like Connor meme is perfectly allowed).
-NSFW is ok from time to time as long as it's NOT p0rn with real people and it has to ALWAYS be correctly marked as NSFW.
-MEMES are allowed and not marked as "low effort", I know many of you spent a good deal of your time making those memes so marking them as "low effort" feels disrespectful tbh. And as some of you have mentioned, memes are an important part of a fandom and we deserve to have memes in English too, not only in Russian. Due to the censorship of memes in the other place, we have very little RC memes in English.
-Tiktoks are allowed too as long as they're RC related and videos are also allowed as long as they're RC related. Same logic as with the memes, marking videos as low effort is disrespectful.
-Content or inside information you've found on VK, telegram or another Russian source is allowed to be shared here, so long you post it providing the translation, if it's a picture, you can translate it with Yandex or with another translation page/app for pictures. This is so we can all understand.
-You can talk about RC authors freely here. Either news or about the way they handle things in their stories, if that's allowed on VK groups, why not here?
-Unpopular opinions and rants are allowed here too.
-You don't have to adhere to a specific schedule to post your thoughts, theories ideas, rants here. You can post them whenever you want.
-Moodboards, fanarts and edits are of course allowed too, sharing the source of the artist if it's not your work.
-If you want to post any kind of self-promotion here, ask the mods first. I generally accept because it's important to help new communities grow but ask me first, asking first denotes basic respect.
-Use English when posting and commenting here please. This is so we can all understand. It's ok if you think your English is not good, English is also not the native language of many people here therefore many of us understand the struggle. So do give it a try and use English here so that we all can understand each other and your English can improve the more you use it!
-The option to add pictures and gifs in the comments is enabled!
-Tag as spoilers where appropriate. Some people don't mind spoilers but let's be mindful of the ones who do. You can spoiler tag using > ! spoiler goes here ! < (without spaces)
HEAD UP: As you know, this is a place where you can express opinions that you cannot share in the other sub so you might see people calling out some problematic character you may like or some story, or some problematic author or some problematic fandom behavior here (ATTENTION: I said FANDOM behavior, NOT targeted attack to a specific person, trageted and individual attacks to a specific person is NEVER allowed). So what does fandom behavior mean? It's a COLLECTIVE problematic behavior you've seen repeatedly in a fandom, like for example: downplaying people who feel uncomfortable about certain LI undressing MC without her consent (and getting defensive if others mention it), downplaying and or celebrating s|xual harass|ment 'jokes' or even r|pe 'jokes', favoritism from authors to certain LIs, mods of the og sub deleting or removing comments and posts for the sole reason that they disagree with said opinions, those are examples of problematic fandom behaviors, often times we stumble with that kind of behaviors in a fandom (I've stumbled with those behaviors in the og sub) and often times we'd like to vent about it or let it out with people who understand. This is NOT a cult for certain problematic characters (that would defeat the purpose of this subreddit because it would make us the same as the other), and no one is really against dark themes in fiction either but if people see something problematic about a character, a story, an author or a fandom behavior, they're free to call it out here and others are free to disagree but not to attack, insult nor get defensive, basic respect should be maintained on both sides. For this reason it's always best to keep things impersonal when calling out these themes.
If you have any suggestions about what other rules I can add let me know! And I'm still looking for mods who can help me because this is my first subreddit and I really don't have a lot of idea but I'm willing to learn. Also if you can share this community with other people who would be interested in joining us, that'd help a lot!
EDIT: I've also created flairs for the community and the stories too!
EDIT: We have a new mod, it's u/Aranel1308!
A heads up for everyone, please read:
Reddit filters are removing posts and comments containing links to Russian websites for some reason I don't know. I have tried to look for ways to get them approved automatically but nothing seems to work (this is my first subreddit so idk much about automod). So whenever you wanna post a Russian link, please tag a mod so we can approve it manually!
And it's preferable not to post the link in the body of the post because it automatically removes the whole post altogether. It's very annoying reddit does this but I've just encountered a bunch of removed posts containing those links and approved them manually.
If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know!
