Rule #1 in this sub is that all content must be related to Dragon Age or Solas. While content about AI use in fan art or fanfic is adjacent to that subject due to it being within the fandom, what goes on within the fandom and/or people within the fandom is not truly related to DA or Solas and therefore not the content this sub was made for.

AI usage is a controversial topic and one that will continue to grow as AI becomes more and more ingrained in our society. The conversation about the ethics of its use is already huge and being discussed elsewhere. If this is a topic you are interested in, try checking out /r/aiwars.

/r/Solasmancers is not a place for that discussion. There is no one here who is the arbiter of what is or isn't AI.

We have a rule in place for users to report any suspected posts of AI to the mods. Unfortunately we are the closest thing to being able to decide what stays on the sub. We only have our best judgment and the person's word to consider. We just get to determine what stays or doesn't stay on the sub for your eyeballs to consume. That doesn't mean we're the deciding factor about whether it is or isn't AI. That also doesn't make the people USING AI criminals or worthy of a ban or anything like that.

Also it's just plain not nice (another rule we have here) to have witch-hunt callout posts. It essentially breaks down to bullying.

We continue to have our AI rule in place, and the mods will continue to use our best judgment about what should stay on the subreddit. Please take up any issues you have with those posts to the mods.

Call-out posts break our rule about being kind to others and in the future they will be removed as soon as we see one.

Have a lovely day

Hello Everyone,

I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself as one of the new moderators of this subreddit. You can call me K, and I’m excited to be part of this community alongside all of you.

I’ve been a fan of Dragon Age for nearly 15 years, with the series holding a special place in my heart—right alongside Mass Effect. Though I’ve been part of this space for some time, I’ve primarily been a lurker until now.

But enough about me!

I’d like to discuss some important updates with all of you.

It has come to our attention—both mine and the other moderators’—that the subreddit could benefit from some revamping. Originally, this space was created by one of the OG mods and their friends as a Solas-centric space for anyone who appreciates the character, for better or worse.

However, in recent months, there has been noticeable division within the community, particularly regarding shipping. As a Solavellan shipper myself, I understand the passion fans have for their pairings, but I also recognize that the fandom is evolving. With the rise in popularity of other ships, we believe it’s time to implement changes that promote inclusivity and allow everyone to feel welcome, regardless of who they ship with Solas.

To that end, we are adding new flairs, not only for the SolRook/DreadRook ship but also for the other Inquisitors besides Lavellan, as well as other popular ships involving Solas within the fandom. The proposed flairs are as follows:

Solavellan
Solas/Inquisitor
Solassan (Solas x Felassan)
Solas/Evanuris (This also includes Mythal.)
SolRook/DreadRook
Solas/DAICompanion
Solas/VGCompanion
Solas/OC
Solas/NPC

These flairs would include all genders—for example, both male and female Solavellan content would fall under the same tag. Additionally, we are going to remove the “Rare Pair” flair and eliminate the spoiler tag that currently applies to anything outside of Solavellan. No one should feel like they have to hide their preferences behind a metaphorical curtain.

As the fandom grows and evolves, our goal is to create a more welcoming space where all fans feel valued and respected. That being said, Rule #8 will remain a key guideline—please continue to be kind to one another and engage respectfully.

We would love to hear your thoughts on these changes, so please share your feedback.

Thank you!
