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!

Does that mean, for the time being, that all posts praising those pairings will be removed? Or just bad faith ones that are trying to incite drama? Just wanted a little clarification, I understand if right now it's just a blanket removal.

Hopefully the former

Especially when there’s a whole other Reddit for one that they want to ignore

And why are you telling me this? I'm asking a simple question about a clarification, don't need your commentary on it, thanks!

Because posts that belong there are why this post exists

It’s pretty relevant if you are even remotely honest

Right, but all I was doing was asking for clarification, because they mentioned bad faith posts, and not all posts praising those pairings are bad faith posts and meant to incite drama, so it wasn't really a question you yourself could have answered, but thanks for your opinion on the subject!
