If you're here, odds are you like both Magic the Gathering and Reddit. Magic's community and Reddit alike have both seen considerable growth over the last few years, and as such different people will have different ideas of what makes for a good community.
The largest Magic subreddit is currently , at well over a third of a million subscribers. There are also subreddits for just memes, specific formats, competitive play, and more. With the idea that every subreddit should have a goal in mind, mine is this;
The plan for is to create a general Magic the Gathering sub, but with a small community feeling and more relaxed moderation.
Initially, I intend for there to be only three relatively simple rules.
-
Keep posts directly related to Magic. If a post can go on for 100 comments and not have card fetcher called at least once, it's probably not directly related to Magic. Politics in modicum can and will apply here.
-
Reposts/Spam will be deleted. If nobody liked your post the first time, they certainly won't the second, third, or fourth. (Amendment: Advertising your store is spam unless it's something particularly unique or interesting.)
-
"Don't be a bitch." The (NSFW) special. The wording is a bit harsher than I'd like in an official post like this, but it gets the point across. Mods aren't here to break up slap fights and I don't want users to feel like they're constantly treading a fine line. So long as comments don't devolve into pure slurs and copypasta, mod intervention will be kept at a minimum.
Finally, I'd like to give special thanks to for giving me the opportunity to take charge of this subreddit and have a go at starting up a new community.
In short, talk about Magic and have fun.
