Fictional Fans

Noted on the more positive rules and the risks of including examples of bad behaviour!

I'm totally down for having co-mods once I meet other fans looking to build the same kind of positive community. I'd love to start with one or two but it's hard when I don't really know any other fans well on Dreamwidth, to make sure we're on the same page. Hoping a few people will step up once the community gets going!

I dig the idea of a "How to help" section to help the community be more self-moderating (in addition to leading by example). Would you have examples you've seen that were nicely phrased??

I've seen "social chat" weekly posts on other fan comms, although they were kept on topic (as in, what are you up to that's related to the topic of the community.) I don't think I'm willing or able to spend the time moderating completely off-topic threads. I may try to redirect people to PMs/their own journals if that happens, or create some kind of bnha_social comm offshoot themselves, I'm not sure.

The spoiler one is tough because there is so much that's happened in the manga that informs meta, characterisation, and other important information. Including a massive reveal that outtrended the US election results on Twitter, haha. Official English chapters are released every Sunday. The more I think about it, the less it seems possible to enforce spoilers on anything except for the most recent chapters, or risk stifling the conversations completely.

Thanks a lot for all the thoughts!
