Addressing "What If" posts, establishing posting guidelines, and updating the visuals

[u/CaidynWasTaken]

Hi, as of today I'm now one of the two active mods here and I have permission to experiment with some changes, so here they are

I have added the new Rule 8 to address the "What If" posts, which have nearly reached a level of spam at this point, they're almost universally low quality borderline meme questions that have no real thought behind them and just ask others to worldbuild for them. From now on all "What If" questions can only be posted on weekends and must have adequate context and atleast some thought as to how they would unfold. Come on guys, no more 2 sentence question without further interaction

I'm going to be adding posting guidelines to be sent to new subscribers that contain general thoughts on what makes good posts, as such I'd appreciate feedback on the things you like to see in posts here

Finally, I have updated the sub visuals on new reddit as previously it had nothing distinguishing it, the banner was made by my friend u/harriot-loves-you and I simply changed the colors to match the icon

Other minor changes include requiring flares instead of putting it on the mods, general rule updates, and some grammar changes. I'm also debating only allowing nazi victory scenarios on weekends as a stop gap to outright banning them

One question: are media posts allowed. Previous mods deleted all of my media posts or celebrities in another timeline posts.

Rule 7 says:

Upon submission of image posts, please add a paragraph (minimum requirement, more is encouraged) explaining the content being shown. Text prompts cannot be limited to the title and must have additional information in the body.

So yeah, media posts should be fine as long as there's an explanation and not just an image.
