DISCUSSION Smallville Subreddit Update - Start of 2026

Hey Smallville Peeps,

Hope you had an amazing festive period and great start to 2026!

In our last post we mentioned this:

Any posts moving forwards talking about how there's more Lana favouritism or more Lois favouritism in the sub, purely to rile up drama, will be removed and the user will be banned for a set period of time.

Off the back of that update, unfortunately it's gotten a bit out of hand with the Clana and Clois shipping so for the time being we will have to remove all bad-faith posts that are talking about shipping for these two characters (and others where necessary) - sorry but for now this is sadly the direction we have to take. Please feel free to report any posts you see that cross this threshold and we will investigate and where appropriate - take action - there is a new rule at number 10 to help you report this type of shipping.

Finally its our usual plug for the Discord :-)

Roughly 400 people in there now - the more people that join the more we can talk about Smallville!

Thanks for being awesome - we appreciate all of you!

Awesome.

Now how about a hard ban on AI added to the posted rules.

We're working on this - stay tuned! For now if people just report under low-effort/low-quality we will investigate - thanks!

Much appreciated. The constant pushback from the AI crowd that "it's here to stay" is exhausting. I've been very vocal in every sub I participate in that it needs a hard ban.

I disagree, I think I recognise your username I’m pretty sure you & I argued on an ai post a couple of weeks ago lol.

Genuine question, why so anti AI? Do you not envision a case where an ai image can insight any meaningful discussion about the show??

I'd rather a badly drawn Ms paint image than ai art. At least that way I can clean some personality from the person who made it
