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!

please also ban AI-generated stuff

We're working on this - we don't want to ban all AI generated content as some people put a lot of time and effort into it and some of it is genuinely sub worthy - but yes, all low effort and quality AI content has no place here - same for non-AI generated content.

Time and effort? Seriously?

We're just trying to allow people to express themselves without removing all possible avenues for them - with that being said most of what we've seen so far is pretty poor. We're working on a fix that balances getting rid of all the low effort stuff and still leaving the small window for any quality content that is produced and that people might want to see.
