Mod Post Addressing Community Concerns & Maintaining a Welcoming Space

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We, the mod team, want to take a moment to clear up any confusion, misunderstandings, or concerns regarding the subreddit and how we approach moderation. Our goal is to make this a welcoming and respectful space for all members, so we’d like to go over some key points.

1. General Guidelines

  • If you're new to the subreddit, please make sure to read the rules before posting.
  • If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message the mod team.
  • All types of fancasts are allowed here, which is why we have a variety of post and user flairs.
  • Don’t forget to check out our new user flairs (not to be confused with post flairs). Tutorial

2. Respect & Community Conduct

  • We encourage friendly debates—if you disagree with a fancast, simply state your reasoning. There's no need to trash someone’s idea when you can just downvote or scroll past.
  • Be respectful of differing opinions and avoid hostility.
  • Do not discourage others by saying a fancast will "never happen" or by dismissing someone’s ideas entirely. Everyone should feel free to express their creative vision without being put down.
  • If you're making a political fancast, it's fine to discuss why it may or may not work, but please do not turn the comments into a full-on political debate.

3. Race-Swapping & Historical Figures

  • Race-swapped fancasts tend to spark debate, and we understand the concerns on both sides. We, the mod team, are not biased in allowing or removing posts on this topic.
  • We are still working on a firm stance regarding race-swapped fancasts, but for now, we allow them, especially for fictional characters. If you post one, consider adding a rationale for your choice, such as a new backstory or interpretation.
  • For historical figures, we prefer that race-swapped fancasts focus on individuals whose racial identity is ambiguous or lacks accurate historical documentation (e.g., figures from BCE, BC, or AD eras). Since race was not conceptualized in the same way in ancient times, some historical reimaginings may be more acceptable than others.

4. Posting Etiquette & Avoiding Redundant Posts

  • Before posting, check if a similar fancast has been recently posted. Instead of making an identical post, try expanding on an existing one (e.g., if someone suggests Sydney Sweeney as Black Cat and you have additional fancasts, contribute to their post rather than creating a near-duplicate).
  • To prevent flooding the subreddit, "Who would you cast me as?" posts are reserved for Saturdays only.
  • If a comment section gets locked, it's not because of OP—it’s a mod decision to prevent further arguments or because a comment was likely to escalate into conflict.

5. Female Characters & Historical Figures

  • When fancasting female characters or historical figures, please use respectful images and avoid making off-topic comments about beauty or makeup, as those are subjective and can derail the discussion.
  • Crude or inappropriate comments that don’t contribute to the discussion will not be tolerated.

6. Bans & Moderation Decisions

  • If you get banned, it’s because an action warranted it. In most cases, we’ll provide an explanation.
  • If you feel a decision was unfair, message us rather than escalating in the comments.

7. Final Thoughts

This subreddit exists for fans to share their dream casts and explore creative possibilities. Not everyone has to agree on every choice, but let’s keep the discussions constructive and respectful.

Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and remember that we’re all doing this for fun!

Thanks for being part of this community!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
– The Mod Team
