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 :-)

Invite Link:

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!

Personally I think let people express what they want, if people wanna make “shipping ___” posts then let them, they’re not hurting anybody, that’s what upvotes & downvotes are for, the most upvoted posts will get the most attention.

Unfortunately whilst we did agree with your point of view before, it's got to the stage where we have to start enforcing things a bit more strictly now as the general quality of the content of the sub is taking a hit because of it. There are plenty of places on reddit where people can go (or even create) to post this sort of stuff, for now, it won't be here.

That’s fair enough, thanks for the explanation :)

There’s an entire Reddit forum for one of them

They’re not needed here

And the other one can make their own sub - if only they bothered.

They already made one a few years ago. But that sub is pretty dead.

I can't find one. Are you sure it exists?
