Hey crew! The new Star Trek show Starfleet Academy is starting this week, and it’s already sparking some heated/controversial discussions online. While opinions may differ, let’s keep our community a safe space where everyone can enjoy the series without fear of harassment or attacks.

  • Be civil and respectful toward other members. Disagreeing with an opinion is fine, attacking the person who posted it is not.
  • Critique the show, not the fans. Constructive feedback, jokes, or memes about Starfleet Academy are welcome as long as they don’t target or harass fellow community members.
  • Report abusive behavior. If someone crosses the line into personal attacks, let the moderators know so we can keep the discussion healthy.

It is okay to not like the show. It is okay to be critical, but please be civil. Let’s set the example for a welcoming, inclusive fandom.

Reminder as well:
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

Engage, discuss, and most importantly, have fun.

    Yes, I’ve felt similarly. I really enjoyed SNW when it first started, and now it feels like some weird soap opera with Spock half the time.

    The Orville feels far more like Star Trek than any modern Star Trek, and it’s strange, because Paramount could totally pull it off if they put the right people on the team.
