It's canonicity. Do we accept that as the ultimate future of DC, or not? Could we use the implied future feats as actual feats, or would they be considered inadmissible, as they haven't *technically* happened yet?

I thought it was settled that alternate timelines referenced in canon timelines had a chance for consideration, or characters like Mxy who regularly traverse dimensions/timelines..
good to have re-verified occasionally. 👆

and reaffirmed with bada's post as usable material in the forum. 👆 less sure about THIS part of his post though:

that's a different can of worms i'm thinking.... sounds like he's asking if we just assume certain things WILL happen. not sure about that. they'd need to be shown i think....?

regarding phil's scan: i've always been a little confused on the issue of superman/batman in general (forgetting that absolute power arc) and it's relevance to canon. is it usually considered canon, and are feats from there usually admissible here? given the recent changes at dc, it would seem to indicate that superman/batman WOULD be viable in the forum. certainly with darkseid's appearances, it would seem to indicate THOSE issues at least would be canon to darkseid, no? and darkseid made an appearance in one of those alt timelines supes and bats were bouncing through. would THAT appearance also be canon to him??and while we're on the topic of the canonicity of superman/batman, what about trinity? usable in the forum? arguments for why, or why not? (or are both only NOW usable given recent events in dc...?)
😕

Then you and I have different experiences with them. In my experience they're much more likely to say something like "You know no one takes him seriously, you shouldn't even bother talking to him" and allow a problem poster to continue unabated. That doesn't mean that I'm trying to rally the townsfolk to get them removed from office, force them to change, or anything like that, they're mods on a private forum and can run it however they want(that's why I adhere even to rules/rulings that I have serious issues with), I'm simply saying that they're not as likely to step in as the old mods were to clarify points of ambiguity in the rules and other general nonsense so if we adopt an even more "open to interpretation" stance of the rules there's going to be even more BS to put up with.
As a mod in name only at this point, the only blame is at the feet of Raz. No one should be expected to have modded this forum as long as any mod has. I mean, we have teenagers on here, yeah? So, no joke, when I became a mod on KMC, some of them were probably transitioning away from diapers. So it's either the few remaining mods who give any sh*ts do what little they can, or there's no oversight whatsoever. There are no other options, and no way to correct the situation without an active Admin. Frankly, I'm amazed any active mods aren't more apathetic, and anyone still trying to keep order, or even responding to reports and PMs, is a goddamn hero as far as I'm concerned.

Oh I wasn't trying to lay any blame at all for how the forum is run, I was simply pointing out that it was run differently back in the day and that current circumstances don't allow for the truly epic debates we used to have with the same rate of frequency. They can still happen, but they don't happen anywhere near as often.

Right right, I understood you. Just not everyone is aware of why it's the way it is. By rights, KMC should have died years ago given the lack of modern updates and new leadership.
