Hi,

This is a spite play post

I've been around for 2 years as the top mod. The sub grew from 40k members to 600k users in that timespan - that's an order of magnitude. I've been here trying to make your lives easier and I like to think I've done a decent job. At least you've been telling me nice things about my style and I appreciate that.

Now it's Reddit's turn to make things my life harder

Reddit recently rolled out an age check for EU-based members. Non-age verified redditors cannot view mature content. Any post made under the "NSFW" tag, any NSFW subreddit and any profile with even a single NSFW contribution is off-limits to me. I get the pictured pop-up and it's making my ability to tell bad actors from good contributors just that much harder when I'm unable to view a user's profile (at all). It's not like they hide the mature content, I just can't access the profile. Normally I'd be able to see +-30 days of the user's all contributions (even if their profile is curated) which Reddit thinks is a good idea "for moderation [purposes]". Apparently if they've ever posted a picture of a rotten tomato on a food sub with the NSFW tag enabled I need to be procted from that. Then it's not longer a good idea to show any of the other contributions.

On top of this Reddit is hiding my own content tagged as "NSFW" from ... me. If I post on r/bugs (the subreddit where you're supposed to report bugs with the platform) saying "Hey, I cannot view my own NSFW posts" I will be unable to see it. Ask me how I know.

I hope you see why this could be a problem.

My alternatives are:

1. Age verify by sending a selfie or a government ID (passport) photo to Persona, the 3rd party service that had privacy issues and was subsequently ditched by Discord.
2. Ask my fellow mods to address the items/members I cannot access. It's many a member. Not all of you/them are bad actors.
3. Quit.

I chose the third option. I love you all but killing the 3rd party API access, introducing pointless AI tools & mandatory filters, then killing the API self-serve tool and now hiding some essentials is taking a toll on me. There's no drama in the mod team and nothing wrong with you - purely a Reddit issue. I will be around for a few days to address some loose ends but then it'll be time to log out, uninstall the app and turn the lights off.

I want to thank you all for the wonderful times we had. 💜

Wish the remaining team good luck and be supportive of them!

Feel free to chat with me while I'm still around. Just leave a comment! :)

Thanks to everyone!

We held a voting recently that was open for one week:

https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1fssm22/mod_ai_illustrations_poll/

The vote distribution was as follows:

The post was viewed 23 000 times, which to me sounds like a good number of people had a chance to vote. By the majority vote of over 2/3rds we're introducing a new rule: AI illustrations are no longer allowed on the sub.

The line between AI and non-AI will be blurry - you should report all content you find violating this rule but not all of it may be removed. This is because it's sometimes hard to tell whether a generated image heavily edited by a human can be considered original art. After all, a good quarter of people voted "okay if labelled as such" on the matter and we want to take their opinion into account as well. I will unfortunately be making the calls so feel free to challenge those - no ill intent is meant from my part. Just be transparent about your source of art!

Please note that this rule will not be applied retroactively so submissions posted prior to this post will not be considered! This is just to keep things as consistent as possible and to remain fair to everyone.

At the same time I'm slapping the "No offtopic" rule in the sidebar but this shouldn't really affect anything since we don't get offtopic posts at all. It's there more as a reminder.

EDIT: As it was pointed out some official WotC art is partially AI-generated. These arts will be allowed since limiting those will limit what we can talk about when it comes to WotC and their actions. Being able to discuss WotC-news is more important in this case. Plus, WotC has already taken the hit and done whatever damage there is so that won't be our fault. (Feel free to challenge this line of reasoning.)

EDIT 2: Since this was talked a lot about I confirmed the numbers for significance. For a population of 221 000 and sample size of 243 with a confidence interval of 99% we see that the margin of error is 8%. If we take the winning option and subtract the error of margin we get 72.4% - 8% = 64.4% which is still roughly two thirds of the population. The result of the poll is very significant despite its deceptively low sample size.

Hi everyone!

We've been hit pretty hard recently with a few different waves of content that we've gotten a LOT of complaints about, so we're looking at finding an angle to cut down on a lot of the type of posts that have been causing problems. To this end we've instituted a new rule:

No Unapproved Promotion

This rule applies to all sorts of things, but the majority of posts we see that prompted this rule change are either

1. "Vibe-coded" programs that are looking to use this subreddit to secure early users or
2. Accounts trying to sell mtg-related accessories through sheer volume of posts.

This has kind of been in effect for a while now, but its been a bit of a mod effort to figure out exactly where the boundaries lie. Now we're hoping that by having it in the rule sidebar it will cut down on a lot of the posts that might drown out some other community efforts before we get a chance to respond to them.

We'll be looking to institute a new "Mod-approved promotion" flair that we can put onto any posts so you know they're something we've looked over, and we ask that if you all catch any promo/ad posts before we do that lack that flair, just give it a report to bring our attention to it.

You Wanted It, You Got It!

Do you love Universes Beyond and can't get enough crossover content? Do you hate it and think it's destroying the game you love? This is the one and only place to let everyone know! You are free to bash on Universes Beyond, Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro, etc., but remember to stick to the rules of the sub and treat each other with decency.

Other posts cheering for UB or complaining about UB will be removed as Off-Topic. You can still share decks with UB cards, ask questions about UB cards, etc. in your own posts of course, but no more posts about how much you love/hate Universes Beyond.

Remember to keep it cool!

As a part of the ongoing work to improve the community and to make sure it is welcoming to all members, we'd like to clean up comments that fall under the umbrella of hate speech.

This is in response to the reports that you've been sending our way.

As always, we're responding to your call. Based on reports alone, it seems like you'd like us to take a more active stance in addressing these issues. This post is a heads up for you since you cannot see the reports that we see.

We also did a little test with this popular post and it seems like people were receptive to the changes and seemed to like the idea.

Some hypothetical examples of stuff we'd be taking mod action on:

• "Alesha will never be a woman." (Transphobia.)
• "Playing Codie as your commander is so gay." (Using sexual orientation as a pejorative.)
• "I want to make an Aragorn deck about stealing people's stuff, get it?" (Racism.)

Note that this stuff already falls under Reddit's sitewide rules for the most part; we are just trying to take a more transparent position in terms of moderation, and to address your concerns. The Magic playerbase is diverse and it makes sense to take everyone into account also as groups of people, not only as individuals.

Our Modding Guidelines already support this idea: "[...] and other harmful content, [...] antisocial behavior" plus the sidebar short description: "[...] open and welcoming to all members". Modding guidelines also mention slurs which we have been removing occasionally. This change is also meant to clarify that further.

What does this mean in practise?

• The first line of action would be to remove comments (or posts but that rarely happens) and if patterns emerge we'll be messaging those people first before doing anything else.
• Another thing we'd be doing is polling the community for feedback on posts about those posts and you could voice your opinions in addition to reporting those posts.
• We may also make an AutoMod ruleset that removes certain slurs automatically.

The proposed changes would be affecting roughly some 10% of reported items meaning you wouldn't see much changing except a couple of comments more being removed. Overall we're getting about 5-20 reports daily most of which are very clear in terms of our current rules. We haven't been removing comments that would be affected by these changes because we don't have an explicit rule that would let us do so.

This area, we realise, is a little unclear because our Rule 1 in "Keeping it cool" has been exclusively applied to arguments between community members and stopping those arguments. The unclear part is whether removing hate speech already falls under it or not - which is why we're here.

The sidebar rules text would be as follows (subject to changes based on your feedback):

Don't hate
-----------
People from all backgrounds should feel welcomed - please keep hate speech away!

We'd also be addressing the topic in the Moderation Guidelines document so that there won't be ambiguity in terms of what is allowed and what is not.

Please leave feedback on this post!

This community has been producing some great content and lots of helpful discussions, and we want to continue to foster those things. We also want to make sure that - as an entry point to new players - we are also fostering a welcoming and friendly community!

Hi!

EDIT: We have a rule against bigotry. I am not implying platforming discrimination. Talking about general blanket bans on politics at large!

A lot of politics going on right now. I'll just quickly address the point by saying this:

Let's not forget about Magic

Other than that I'd actually like to hear from you. I know a lot of politics can be tiring and it's been brought up before that such content could/should be limited somehow.

Now, at this point I don't agree or disagree because of the following points for and against limiting:

• Politics are not in the scope of this subreddit.
• Politics are everywhere anyway.
• We don't want anyone to feel like they're being silenced.
• We don't want anyone to feel like they're being persecuted.
• Who decides what is political and what is not?
• Is any one of us unbiased enough not to accidentally push an agenda accidentally?

Do you have any ideas on how to tackle these gracefully?

-------------------------------

We received an open letter regarding banning people

We're apparently being a little too liberal with the bans. The problem is... We hardly ban anyone. Things are usually worked out in ModMail. The rest is content removals.

The last real ban was on Jan 6th given to a member who repeatedly disrupted conversations and never responded to ModMails. Their account is nowadays suspended from and by Reddit itself - way beyond our reach.

The one before that was on Dec 5th when we couldn't work out a solution with a member but that's since been resolved, the ban is lifted and all is well from our side.

I'd say that's pretty infrequent compared to many other subreddits. Do you agree?

-------------------------------

Any other feedback to the mod team?

As always we want to know what you think about this subreddit in general. Bring up your ideas, concerns, critique and feedback, please! Feel free to share your feelings about changes we've made over the last half a year, too!

If you need a prompt here are some points we've received feedback about earlier:

• Limiting the number of simple questions (for rules questions AutoMod already recommends other subs)
• Limiting the number of card pull posts (AutoMod already recommends other subs)
• Limiting the number of memes (AutoMod already recommends other subs)
• Megathreads (you've told us repeatedly you don't like these at all)
• Banning certain members (let's not discuss these here to avoid feels bad moments - hit us up in ModMail instead, please - I think I'm going to remove comments about this if starts looking bad, just a heads up)

Be creative, though - novel ideas are probably the most valuable to us at this point.

^{On a personal level I feel guilty for not having been able to participate as much as usual. It's been a rough month.}

The u/SpellbookBot Combo Fetcher Bot is here!

If your post includes any card names inside double curly brackets, the bot will reply with links to combos using those cards. The names don't have to be complete, but they should all reside in one query for each combo you want to look up, for example...

{{Thassa's Consultation}}

...will find you exactly what you're thinking. Here's the full Search Syntax Guide for more advanced queries! There's support for card types, oracle text searches, keywords, colour [identities], prerequisites, and more!

The bot is maintained by https://commanderspellbook.com/ as a part of their combo database accessibility efforts.

Feel free to join the Commander Spellbook Discord, too!

I uploaded some Custom Emoji. You can now use these in your User Flair! See pictures attached. For reference have a look at my flair.

You have two options:

1. A single mana symbol. Pick one from: WUBRGC.
2. User-editable custom flair. Allows up to ten Custom Emoji and has editable text.

The empty-looking flairs show up on Old Reddit only so if you want to grab one of those be sure to navigate to old.reddit.com/r/mtg/ and set your flair there. The Old Reddit flair will not show on New Reddit or on Mobile so this is "for your eyes only" if you predominantly use Old Reddit.

Have fun!

Hi,

Starting as of ~yesterday many Magic: The Gathering Discord servers were hit by bots that DM innocuous looking links on Discord. In reality those links don't lead to the place they're supposed to - this is called domain masking. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_masking The scammer's link hijacks your accounts and they lock you out of them.

How it works:

1. An account DMs you. This can even be a trusted friend, because they may have already fallen victim to this scam.
2. The DMs are mostly harmless but at some point they prompt you to "see their new project" which has thus far been mostly Steam links but I suspect it could be anything from a blog post to a Soundcloud link.
3. The link is masked. On Discord you [put the link text here](https://url-goes-here.lol) and the end result is just an ordinary looking link. The confusion arises from "put the link text here" looking like another website.
4. You open the link. Discord will prompt you (RE: see post image) to confirm you want to go to this site. Please pay attention as this is your last line of defense. If you "Go Back" nothing bad has happened.
5. The link leads to a script that hijacks your active sessions on your browser. All of them. If you have your Google account signed in, they get it. If you're on Reddit, they get it. No amount of 2FA will prevent this step, because the scammer isn't stealing your credentials, they're stealing you existing on the Internet. Difference is between someone stealing your car keys, breaking in and driving off in your car versus them kicking you out of the car in red lights and driving off while the car was already running.
6. The prompt asks you to authorise your Discord to the malicious app. Don't do it. This is the way they gain access to your session.
7. Once they have access to your sessions they'll quickly use those to change as many credentials as they can - ultimately locking you out of your accounts.

Please, please be really careful on the Internet.

Leave feedback about phasing out Epic Pull posts here!

Hi!

We're phasing out Epic Pull / Mail Day posts soon due to your feedback. Timeline:

1. Transition period from 12th of April until 27th of April: posts are allowed.
2. Fully phased out from 28th of April onwards: pull posts are not allowed.

First there was a popular post:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1ir48by/pull_threads_are_boring_and_overtaking_the_forums/

Then there was the mod-posted response (open letter asking what to do):

• https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1irijj7/mod_what_do_you_want_to_do_with_the_epic_pull/

The recap from that open letter:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1j1t7ie/mod_recap_on_what_to_do_with_epic_pull_mail_day/

And now the newest popular post which broke the camel's back:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1jx0qbb/petition_to_ban_posting_recent_pulls/

With the total feedback we've received in these posts I decided we're at least going to see what happens if we phase out / ban the pull posts.

Initially there will be a period where the AutoMod will comment a warning on each pull post that they're going away soon. This post is also linked in each reply.

Please leave feedback below!

Keeping the conversation contained in one post, thank you!

Hi,

This is a bit weird but I had to make a new rule for this subreddit without asking you all. It's less about preference, more about us being able to moderate effectively. This is why I'm comfortable implementing this rule by fast-tracking it without public discussion.

All posts and comments must be in English. (Rule 7)

We are unable to moderate other languages, sorry.

This stems from Reddit's new change where Reddit (especially the mobile apps) provide automatic translations in all kinds of bizarre ways:

1. The sub is displayed in another language via Reddit's automatic translation tool. This makes it really hard to see that r/mtg is actually all in English and gives the impression other languages are allowed.
2. Sometimes when a member posts or comments in English the automatic translation tool actually translates the contribution automatically to another language. This makes it look like you were writing in English but the contribution shows up in another language for everyone else.

Apologies for not discussing this but it's something we just have to accept as there aren't really many other options. I've been recruiting more moderators but unfortunately all the new mods speak mostly English.

For the last ~couple of months there's been a serious uptick in non-English posts and our current ruleset actually didn't allow for their removal, really.

Repost bots and removal reason (Sitewide Rule => Rule 8)

I also added a new dummy rule that is actually covered by Reddit's Terms of Service already: Using automated accounts that imitate real people. This is not a "new" rule; I had to add it so that I could add the appropriate report reason:

This is a bot account

You can now use that report reason to report automated accounts that re-post from this sub, spam T-shirt sales posts, comment using AI / LLMs, other kind of karma farm, etc...

Thank you for helping us keep the subreddit clean! As per usual: keep reporting actively. Better to be "trigger happy" rather than try to resolve the issue yourself. This is what mods are for.

Feedback? Thoughts? Comment!

Hi,

Due to the unbelievable volume of people posting "I got my Codex Bundle, please look at it!" we decided to temporarily restrict them.

You are absolutely allowed to talk about the Codex Bundle.

We're only placing image posts with the Codex as the subject in the approval queue for manual checks. A human will see and review your post (eventually) even though it's likely to be removed.

We understand that there may be issues with the Bundle and talking about those issues is 100% allowed. We're just trying to keep the subreddit "scrollable" without having to look at a Codex Bundle image after another ad nauseam.

Sorry about this and thank you for understanding! Feel free to leave feedback as a comment!

Hi,

I have received multiple complaints about Rule 4: No Look at My Cards posts. A lot of players have joined since April when these posts were phased out so I think it's prudent to talk about the rule again due to your feedback.

History

At one point I counted over 50% of posts to be Pull posts. The worst days peaked at 75% of content. This was the core problem that people reacted to. The Pull posts were drowning out all other content. There is inherently nothing wrong with a Pull post but this subreddit isn't supposed to be a copy of r/mtgcardpulls. If an appropriate narrower sub exists we want to direct traffic there.

We had a "soft redirect" to r/mtgcardpulls for the longest time (in the AutoMod reply there was a link) but that didn't help so we had to resort to a "hard redirect" by removing those posts.

Recap from March / April

Please take some time to read this post. It outlines the reasons for the ban in detail.

https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1jxdn96/mod_epic_pull_posts_are_being_phased_out_soon/

Current policy

• Remove Epic Card Pull posts.
• Remove Mail Day posts.
• Remove posts that seem to be about the card itself rather than a real question. If you're asking about your Mox Diamond it's highly unlikely you need actual help.
• In the name of fairness we've removed almost all posts that depict cards only. It's relatively menial to circumvent the rule by slapping a question onto a post that is actually about showing off cards.
• I've made sure to remove help request post only after OP has received their help. Never so that you don't get at least a few comments. This usually happens after a few hours.

Suggested changes

• Leave posts that ask for help up.
• Leave popular posts up.
• Leave discussions where the card picture is secondary up.

Concerns

If we allow some posts I fear that this leaves the impression of them being allowed leading to a snowball effect of flooding the sub again with those posts. Card pictures attract attention and are preferred by the Reddit algorithm for some reason meaning voting and commenting pushes those posts up in people's feeds. Many of you (as proven in previous discussions) don't want to see them.

We already decided on a rule and I personally don't think see-sawing rules back and forth is not productive.

What do you think?

Hi,

Just a small change. In order to combat low effort content we introduced a minimum character length for post titles. It's thirteen characters, which by my count should result in two words minimum. This encourages the idea that posts should have meaningful titles and not just random spam.

What's going on?

In general we've been removing low effort content with a heavier hand than before because there's been an uptick of two types of posts:

1. What condition / edition / whatever is this card? - These are being actively redirected to other subs.
2. Welcome to my new vibe-coded app. - See below.

What next?

We're seriously considering adding a rule against apps and websites because there are just so damn many of them. Some are useful (and we let some through) but the vast majority of them are just repeats of existing and established services with a small gimmick. The tools, websites and apps are primarily coded with AI-assistance (which, by the way, is also against our rules) and result in low-quality content that doesn't pertain to MTG. Advertising your website is to conduct business, which is not the same as contributing towards discussion and sharing MTG-related content.

Possible solutions?

Instead, we've been telling those people that they're allowed to post about the problems, obstacles, journey and stories they've made along the way without advertising the product itself. We've then allowed the tools, apps and websites to be linked if and only if it's been requested by someone. It sounds a bit backwards (encouraging astroturfing) but the end result is something we've been rather happy with: high-effort content about Magic. We can't tell who is the author of a website and who is not so distinguishing "Where can I find this?" from "Where can I find this?" is impossible and enforcing a rule forbidding astroturfing would be guesswork.

As always:

You're awesome and feel free to leave feedback! Much love! <3

Hi!

Here's a recent feedback post on the topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1ir48by/pull_threads_are_boring_and_overtaking_the_forums/

How would you like to go from here regarding these "I cracked a booster and I got a cool card" posts?

These posts have become rather prevalent and I totally understand that most people don't find them very interesting. In some cases they do get a lot of upvotes, though, so there definitely is an audience that enjoys this content.

Stuff I came up with:

• Leave the r/MagicCardPulls recommendation as an AutoMod comment then remove the submission always. (Easiest to implement and hard redirects people to the relevant sub.)
• Send all "Epic Pull" submissions to the Mod Queue for manual approval and only let through the most interesting ones. (Takes time to get your post published and frankly is a lot of mod work.)
• Create a "No Low Effort Posts" rule for the sub, add a report reason and once enough reports pour in the bot will remove the post. (This would preserve the most interesting ones but delete most of them.)
• Leave them as is.

Something else? Be creative, please!

Leave a top level comment, please. It's a bit hard to read long reply chains for feedback. I will of course read them all but for the sake of clarity try to avoid them.

Hi!

EDIT: User reports and my own qualitative tests (eyeballing it) indicate that the underlying issue hasn't resolved but instead now everyone has a bunch of locked topics in their feed. I've turned the bot off.

There has been a lot of talk about r/mtg having way too many rules questions. In order to combat this we've established a new system, where Rules Question and I Need Help posts are locked after a couple of hours.

The idea is that a locked topic will no longer accept comments, which reduces engagement, which in turn reduces visibility in Reddit's algorithms.

Let me know what you think of the change!

Hi!

TL;DR: Card showcase rule expanded to encompass all low effort content.

Rule 4: "No look at my cards posts" has always been ambiguous, vague and as such has it has caused problems and grief down the line since its inception. The rule was previously discussed in this post. We've been going back and forth on how to interpret this rule and we've not been able to reach a satisfactory solution. I've now changed the wording of the rule.

The new rule is Rule 4: "No low effort content". This wording captures the essence and spirit of the rule better. Our Modding Guidelines and the rule description in the sidebar have been updated already to reflect the changes.

Why are we making this change?

The reasoning is three-fold:

1. The card showcase wording unfortunately covered posts that were clearly high-engagement, high-quality, and high-effort contributions. We've been making exceptions every now and then with no real support from rules. These exceptions were driven by the need to preserve posts that actually contribute to the social discourse on this subreddit. This wasn't equal treatment for everyone and as such could be seen as unfair.
2. What wasn't covered was other low effort content that felt spam-y but wasn't really showcasing a card, offtopic, or a ToS violation. This content almost invariably ended up at 0 upvotes and only served as "filler" while not contributing interesting content.
3. The new wording gives a bit of leeway for the mod team to interpret the community reception by not removing a post immediately and seeing what kind of traction it attracts, if any.

What's the basis for making this change?

Traditionally we've followed a democratic principle on this subreddit. The subreddit is allowed to vote on rules. This time we're solely relying on the feedback (complaints) we receive on the regular: there are weekly - sometimes daily - complaints about how the previous wording was resulting in unfair removals / non-removals. This feedback was received both in ModMails and on affected posts as comments.

Latest example being the "All Yellow Deck" aka. "Go Piss, Girl!" deck that showcased foiled Aetherdrift cards resulting in a urine-looking mono blue abomination. We found this content to be engaging and as such it would have not made much sense to remove the post.

Furthermore (and unfortunately so) it has become impossible to poll the community directly for rules changes. Two reasons:

1. This subreddit has grown crazy numbers in just a few years I've been here. I started out with roughly 40k members in early 2020s and we're bordering 400k as of writing this post. That's a 10-fold increase in members. Reddit also introduced a new metric, weekly visitors, to measure subreddit activity. In the past year we've gone from 300k visitors to 600k visitors (I can see this from the mod-only "Insights" page.) At some point it becomes unfeasible to poll the entire community effectively. We just have to try to look at the Big Picture and hope for the best.
2. Reddit's algorithms are utter crap. Mod posts used to receive more visibility but the algorithm is not showing mod-labelled posts to people as often as it used to. As such polling the community would just result in the most active and vocal minority being able to express their opinion. That's not fair either. We've had most success with going about it backwards: make an announcement (such as this one) and only then ask for opinions and adjust accordingly. I seriously hope this post reaches more than just a handful of people.

Why was the rule worded to cover only card showcases to begin with?

It was a response to the ever increasing number of Card Pull posts to the extent that they took up more than half of the sub's feed. A community discussion was had and as a result such posts were phased out. We thought this'd be enough but it's evident this is not the case and the rule is worded poorly. Our goal is to limit content as little as possible but sometimes the snowball grows too large and cries for intervention have to be taken into consideration.

Other, unrelated updates:

Some additions to AutoMod's filters have been made to combat spam and inflammatory insult wars. These are mainly an extension to Rule 1: We hope you keep it cool. This is relevant to you because it might affect / disrupt the flow of conversations. Some keyword-containing contributions will be sent to the Moderation Queue without being published immediately, for manual approval. We apologise for the inconvenience.

We've been also experimenting with Rules Questions. We tried locking them after a while and redirecting OP to r/mtgrules but that approach didn't really work. The feedback was overwhelmingly negative. Elegant suggestions for solutions are appreciated! This subreddit isn't meant for rules questions and it seems like they're slowly taking over.

Questions? Feedback? Comment below!

As always: thank you for being such a wholesome community. <3
