You’re safe to like or dislike any show, character, writer, showrunner or episode here.

So come and discuss the greatest sci-fi franchise in history free from rogue mods on power trip.

    Go say you dislike Discovery or you like Picard S3 and see what happens.

    Or just read the modlog. It’s a real eye opener.

      Yeah, I had the audacity to say “I prefer new worlds and lower decks vs discovery” and suddenly every comment I made was removed and every new comment I posted including the one asking why they were removed, were removed

      I commented that I wanted to move Discovery out of main cannon a few days ago. It was controversial but the comment is still there and it has positive karma.

        I think there’s arguments to made that all of the modern Trek from 2009’s abysmal movie to the present day does actually take place in the Kelvin Timeline.

        There’s so many inconsistencies with established canon that can’t all be put down to bad writing.

        So Nemesis would still be the most recent events we’ve seen in the prime timeline.

          Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think that makes sense. The planet Vulcan was destroyed in that 2009 movie. It exists and changed in Discovery.

            The sheer volume of inconsistencies in Discovery can only be explained by bad writing. Plus the stories in seasons 2 - 4 are shockingly bad.

                Just to address your last sentence.

                Your behavior in this thread leads me to believe you won’t be a moderate mod in comparison but just the same in the opposite direction.

                While I do disagree with your opinion and think you come across here as unnecessarily aggressive your post would stay on the community as ALL opinions are welcome. Not just ones that align with my personal opinions.

                In fact I’d welcome and enjoy a polite discussion about our differing opinions if you’d care to join the community.

                You would be politely asked to reign in the aggressiveness though.

                    I wouldn’t ban you for your comments and this post is aggressive too.

                    I do find it strange that you call out my opinion thinking you’re aggressive and a mod shouldn’t think that and also do the exact same thing yourself.

        In an instance, it’s the green button at the bottom of the sidebar for the specific community, and the one for the whole instance is below the sidebar.

          Thanks, now I know I got banned for “trolling”, which is really funny because I will troll from tine to time as a joke, but never about trek or in a trek sub

      Wtf are you going on about? Hating Discovery is the vanilla of star trek opinions.

        And something that the mods on startrek.website and the Reddit sub simply don’t allow, often removing negative comments under the “be constructive” excuse.

        It’s a similar situation if you heap too much praise on season 3 of Picard and/or Terry Matalas.

        And don’t dare try to criticise Alex Kurtzman on their community. I was insta banned for saying that I believe Kurtzman is the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise.
