/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Too Many Reposts (startrek.website)

Hi. Normally , I enjoy the original (or at least lesser-known) memes on here.

Lately however, I’ve noticed that despite the anti-repost rule on here, way too many posts recently have been reposts; many of them very well might literally appear in the first results of an image search for “[insert series] memes”.

Personally, I feel that the purpose of any Trek meme community should primarily be to explore strange new memes; while occasionally reposts commemorating seasonal events (as well as the occasional tastefully-timed time loop meme) are acceptable, I think they should never dominate this community. I am hoping we can reduce that frequency and return to our primary mission.

Thank you for your time in listening to my concerns. Glory to you and your house.

There's no "anti reposts" rule, but rather a request to refrain from reposts under 1-2 months. I recall one about a week ago that was within the same day, but it was noticed and removed. The time loops, while similar, were by and large unique to each other.

Personally, I attempt to stick to OC, with maybe a handful of articles, existing gifs, and 1 Texts from TNG (though that one was back in Risa).

Some posts from the reddit days crop up and do well for a reason: they're funny and encourage discussion. That said, I'd wager this community has generated more OC than what you'll find in either major Star Wars or LOTR pages.

You’re a top tier OC maker.
