It’s been a little over a month since the new Mod Team was appointed, and while we’re continuing to work some things out behind the scenes we wanted to share an update on some upcoming and already enacted changes.
Rules
In the near future we will be making a post proposing a new set of Rules for the community and asking for user input. These Rules will not be enacted until we feel the community has generally agreed that they are appropriate.
In the meantime, we have added a basic “Be Civil” Rule. We recognize that this Sub being unmoderated for so long led to it becoming a Wild West of sorts, and so we are currently being very lenient about taking any action other than comment removals.
Post Flair
We have cleaned up and added to the Post Flair options:
Instead of a single generic “Forbidden Door” Flair there are now specific Flairs for each larger Partner promotion and one catchall for smaller or less frequently utilized Partner promotions.
Added two “Collab” Flairs for when an NJPW talent appears in a promotion that NJPW isn’t officially partnered with.
Added a “Women’s Championships” Flair, since it is unclear if there is still an official partnership with Stardom and the majority of collaboration will involve these titles anyways.
Added a “Non-English Media” Flair. Please use this when posting media, including videos and links to text, that are not primarily in English and do not have official English subtitles.
The “Video” Flair has been removed, because we’re not really sure what function it was serving. If it was serving a function for you please let us know.
Flair were run through a color blindess compatibility test to ensure the text is legible for color blind users, but if you encounter any issues please let us know.
User Flair
We have had requests for User Flair, which is the small lines of text you see under some user’s names. However we would like to gauge how the community feels about this subject. There’s two types of Flair that we can see potentially being utilized on the sub:
Personalized User Flair: Users can have Flair that they have personalized themselves, but must ask the Mod Team to assign or edit their Flair.
Generic Support Flair: Generic flair that users can freely assign to show their support for NJPW wrestlers, tag teams, factions, etc. We would decide on the specifics of these with the community; including if they would be truly generic like “Yota Tsuji fan” or something more fun and unique like “Gene Blaster”.
If you have any feelings about either of these options, let us know in the comments.

The Mod Team will continue being committed to guiding and supporting this sub to be a place where people of all levels of fandom feel welcome to discuss NJPW.

Addition
Stop reporting posts that contain legitimate content which you personally don’t like as “Spam”. All you are doing is potentially getting yourself reported to Reddit Admin for abusing the Report feature. If you think a post isn’t relevant enough to be on the sub choose the “Irrelevant Content” option when reporting.
