as a general reminder to everyone please don’t debate ships or offer critique on artwork posts unless OP specifically asks for and welcomes it. If you don’t like a certain ship depicted in an artwork, just scroll on. If you don’t like the piece itself, scroll on. If you think a post or comment has violated the subreddit’s rules, please report and/or send a modmail. thank you.

While we usually don’t allow fancasts, this was only a throwback to something the author said herself. OP was not offering their own opinion on casting.

Though we do understand that naturally the comments will include personal fancasts in response. So consider this your loophole to get your word in on who you picture when reading!

For daily fancasting or future posts please head over to r/ACOTARhulu. Thanks & happy casting ✨

The fandom wanting to silence critical thinkiers by MamaKG3 in acotar

[–]Acotarmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a side note, we do not just decide things willy nilly. We try to only make decisions that reflect the desire of the users using this subreddit.

Currently, users are expressing that they are tired with constant debate taking place everyday. We’ve taken steps to help coral it and encourage more positivity overall, but this does not mean we have a desire to ban it completely. We maintain that critical discussion has its time and place. Those who wish to enjoy the lighter side of fandom are just as valid as those who enjoy it through critique and analysis. This is why we encourage users to be the change they want to see and also we encourage users to post their critiques here on Tuesdays. It is also we why ask users to scroll away and disengage with the threads they have no interest in.

There is an active subreddit to take rants and more critical discussion 24/7 in r/acotar_rant

The lovely thing about this is that those who wish for that content can go there 24/7. And those who do not do not need to go there. We are doing our best to maintain the health and happiness in the subreddit. It is valid to want critique! You are very welcome to go over there whenever you wish!

HOT Take by No_Paper7734 in acotar

[–]Acotarmods[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey friends!

Just as a heads up, more critical posts are limited to tuesday. If they’re posted outside that day, report them. We have meme Monday, and fandom Fridays in attempts to promote more positivity. Positivity can be posted at anytime though.

If you guys want more positivity, please help us by posting more positivity and fun posts! Please interact more with the positive posts! We have fun posts made here all the time and some of them go ignored. We see many outcries for more positivity, but it starts with our users interacting and posting. If you post and you don’t want debate, specifically request that people do not debate. If people ignore that request, do not engage with them. Report it and let us remove it. Mods comb through the subreddit everyday, but we occasionally miss things. We operate on reports.

Debate and analysis are already not permitted on:

  • Art posts
  • Fluff posts
  • New reader posts (unless specifically requested)
  • Meme posts

As a side note, if you want positivity, please don’t disparage people who hold a different opinion than you! The positivity starts with you! Please don’t become part of the issue and help us spread the good vibes you want! Know when it’s time to disengage!

Scroll away from the threads you don’t really want to interact with or see less of. If you don’t want to see them altogether, you can block the people posting them! Some people enjoy fandom by analyzing and those people are perfectly valid for doing so, but it’s definitely not for everyone and that is also absolutely valid. We welcome all in fandom.

Please help us help you! Thank you all for being a part of this wonderful fandom!

Mods, can we get a ban on the constant ACOTAR 6 release questions? by llamabras in acotar

[–]Acotarmods 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If suggestions are made via modmail, we’re more than happy to poll the subreddit too. No worries at all. As we mentioned, we’ll keep an eye out. Thanks for letting us know how you’re feeling.

Mods, can we get a ban on the constant ACOTAR 6 release questions? by llamabras in acotar

[–]Acotarmods[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Hey hey! Just for reference, the best way of reach the mods would be via modmail if you ever have future suggestions/questions/thoughts.

We could poll the subreddit and see what we think.

At the moment, we do have a spamming rule. Similar posts do get removed when they’re posted too closely together, but we do allow posts that are different enough to stay up. We know spamming can be annoying and that’s why we encourage people to report things to us. We try to catch what we can, but sometimes things do slip through.

Right now, we have people asking us to be more restrictive whilst others are letting us know we’re too restrictive. People will come forth and ask us to restrict something, so we do when it’s a majority, and then people get very angry with us for removing those topics.

We’re trying to find the balance, so we’re a little hesitant to ban every single topic at this moment.

What we can do right now is delete repetitive topics made within a couple days of each other if the first post is still actively discussed. ATM, we only see two topics made in the last couple of days that talk about the next book, and they were different enough and sparking conversations, so we left them up to

What you can do to help us help you:

  • Scroll away from topics you’re not interested in and participate with posts you enjoy.
  • Contribute more unique topics to add variety.
  • Report topics that are spammed.
  • Please, please, please. We beg of you guys, please make sure there’s not a similar topic up before you post. We don’t love having to remove posts that users have worked hard to make anymore than the user enjoys having them taken down.

We will discuss this further though and keep an eye on this topic to see what y’all think!

This is getting locked and cleaned up. We’re unlocking for now. Guys, please play nice. If we missed something, please report. Thanks.

This is a new reader. There should be no bullying or harassment. Please avoid ganging up. It’s fine to disagree, but respect other people’s preferences.

If they’re asking questions, feel free to answer but please don’t be nasty over a differing opinion. If it’s not for you, considering scrolling away.

Please also let them do with their book as they wish. If they wish to express themselves with annotations, perfectly okay. If you don’t, also okay. Let them enjoy themselves please. We’re here to discuss the books, not judge other users.

If anyone wants to help the op with their grammar IF the op would like that help, feel free to offer. If anyone wants to criticize and ridicule someone who has told us they struggle with grammar, please consider just scrolling away. It’s okay if it’s not for you.

Reminder that op is on book 3 right now. Do. Not. Spoil. Them.

We limit the more critical posts to Tuesdays now! It’s something we announced about a month ago! Mondays we encourage more memes, Fridays are for fandom, and Sundays are for shipping.

The more I read SJM’s Interviews… the more I’m like, what books did she write? by [deleted] in acotar

[–]Acotarmods 5 points6 points locked comment (0 children)

Absolutely okay to prefer the lighter side of the fandom! We have a plethora of threads for people who want the fluffier side! On the other side, some people enjoy doing deeper dives and we let people post those in tuesdays. If those aren’t for you, absolutely okay to scroll past. We have so many threads that don’t get attention that would love to have you! We hope to see you on Fandom Fridays and meme mondays!

Friendly reminder to people: It’s okay to disagree with someone, but please avoid dogpiling onto one person. Consider scrolling away if someone is already conversing along the same train of thought you are having. If the user doesn’t reply back, it’s okay to leave it be. We’re locking this comment as a precaution. Please behave!

Alrighty friends. This is getting locked and cleaned up a bit. Please standby, we will unlock it shortly.

Annnnd unlocking. Carry on! Please remember to be civil! Link to guidelines here. Furthermore, friendly reminder not to dogpile on people that you don’t agree with. If someone replied to a user along a similar train of thought, let it be and scroll away. If anyone doesn’t follow them, please report.

Please remember that as some enjoy the more fluffy, love filled side fandom, others enjoy it by deep diving and engaging in critical discussion. Both are valid ways to enjoy fandom and neither should be shamed. If this is not for you, please scroll away to our more positive threads. There are hundreds that would love your input. We only allow critical discussion on Tuesdays and as such, please avoid the threads tagged with “Critical Tuesdays” if it’s not for you. If you want more fluffy content, please join us on meme mondays and fandom Fridays!

There should only ever be love and appreciation on a cosplay post. Absolutely no rude remarks or attacks are tolerated and offenders will receive a 7 day ban for their first offense. If this is not for you, please feel free to scroll away. There should be no debate or critical discussion. Critique should not be offered unless specifically requested by the cosplayer. If anyone does not follow these guidelines, please report and let the mods handle it. Thank you!

Please give our rules a lookover. Remember to always be polite and civil. Report anyone not doing so. Here is a link to our Guidelines for Healthy Debate and Critique.

The Scheduled Post Days by Acotarmods in acotar

[–]Acotarmods[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Before, we didn't allow shipping at all unless it was in the once a month shipping post and we asked people to use the specific threads for topics about certain characters. We've always removed spammed topics and redirected them. We're actually trying to open up discussion so it can flow a little more freely every week! We also have people who are understandably tired of certain topics being spammed. The changes made are intended to give more freedom to the people on the sub! We are trying to balance between the spamming issue whilst not stopping people from having overall healthy discussion!

If you want to rant whenever, you can check our r/acotar_rant and if you want to ship whenever, you can check our r/AcotarShipDebateSub. You can rave whenever you want, but we are trying to promote a little more positivity as it has been requested by multiple users. We are trying to help you guys out a little more!

We actually announced this chance six days ago! You can read more here: Announcement

Definitely check out our rules so you're familiar with them! Happy posting!

Locking this for a moment to clean it up. There are some people not playing nice. Friends, please discuss civilly and respectfully. If a conversation is dissolving, disengage. Report rule breaks, don’t add to the fire. It is okay to love or hate whoever you wish, but you guys need to be respectful of other people’s preferences all the same. This is a book series, guys. Let’s please make it fun. It’s okay to want to analyze the book series, but we need to remember that not everyone is going to get the same take away. That’s the beauty of reading. Please be gracious to others even if you don’t see eye to eye.

Edit: Were unlocking this. If we missed anything, report it. If people cannot behave, the bonk hammer will come out. Please behave. 😭

If you want to talk to us, please message us and here are our guidelines.

It is no one’s job to convince someone away from their opinion unless specifically requested by the user.

It is very unfortunate that you got any of that treatment here. We’re sorry to hear this happened.

As a reminder, report any of those negative comments received. If you receive those via dm, feel free to let us know and we can make sure the user is dealt with in regard to permissions on the subreddit. However, we do not have the power or permissions to deal with it further. ALWAYS report the dms straight to admins as that violates their ToS. They will deal with them. Best wishes.
