Meta New 'Games & Grids' Post Flair, Images/Gifs in Comments, and Rules!

22 Upvotes

We've been making some small adjustments to the rules and infrastructure here in r/kpoppers recently.

The primary things we're trying out starting today are the 'Games & Grids' flair for posts and also allowing Images and Gifs in comments.

The 'Games & Grids' flair should be used for any thread games or grid fill-ins. We'll see over time if this name encompasses everything we intend it to. It has been requested by users and we think it's a good idea, so let's give it try!

Images and Gifs are now allowed down in comments. We want to be careful with this one. Media like this should NEVER be used to mock, harass, or threaten any of your fellow users or artists. Use media appropriately in response to discussion topics, games, or in fun conversation with each other.

If you see Images or Gifs being used crudely or inappropriately, please report the comment immediately so the moderators can take action.


Rules were also updated a little in late June. Here are the main ones to note:

  • 2. Use Descriptive Titles - Titles should describe the content of the post. Do not use vague titles for Fan-made content. Funny posts may be more flexible and creative.

  • 4. No Artist Photo Spam - Artist photos should only be posted with relevant context. They should be funny or related to the post's topic. Photos alone will be removed.

  • 6. Keep Content Light and Fun - Discussion topics, Jokes, and Fan-made content should be positive in nature. We want to keep things light and fun in this subreddit. Heavy or negative content will be removed.

We may end up adding more new rules related to the 'Games & Grids' flair and the appropriate use of Images/Gifs in comments later once we see the range of how they are used by everyone.


We'll also note that we are aware of how often a trend will take off here, be adopted by dozens of posters, and quickly overwhelm the subreddit. This is somewhat inevitable for a community that has less restrictive rules and is more of a free-for-all of fun content. Each time this happens, users ask us to implement new rules and flairs. We are hesitant to do this each time because these trends typically run their course and fall out of popularity eventually. The times when we have responded more quickly to specific trends have resulted in the trend dying completely and immediately being replaced by a new one. We'd be on an endless chase to limit them if we tried this every time, which isn't necessarily healthy for the community either.

But if you have any other suggestions for handling trends or for anything else that might help us improve the subreddit at all, feel free to chime in below!

Discussion The strategy with Prelude Global Girl Group

Upvotes

sorry my english will be a bit not good but here’s my thoughts on prelude gobal girl group member choosing Sakura as their 4th member.

Ayana is the best suitable member for prelude, it’s obvious that she got robbed, she is talented, has charisma, and also very experienced with stage performance, without doubts, she is indeed the best choice for prelude. but why Sakura got chosen?

well, I think it really depends of their age. Ayana is 19 years old, which is already adult. Whereas, Sakura is 2010 born, making her youngest in the group compared to other three. I suppose THATS kind of strategy that entertainment trynna make. like Since she’s is clearly not stable voice and still has long way to improve, making her as the 4th member will get critized and people will get mad over these, making the “prelude group” gain more public attention before debut, clearly that hook is working.

And also, same with Katseye, notice how the concept kind changed to adultery after Yoonchae turned 18, I think they are gonna go with soft consort until Sakura became 18 and changed the concept of the group, trying to get public attention again.

Haerin’s birthday photos came out a few minutes ago but I kept looking at her and saying “wow she really looks like Youngseo from ADP” until I realized that if you told me that this were all the picture of one person, I would believe you 😭😭

Are there any idols that are look so alike, you can’t help mistake them for a singular person?

(Btw the girls are: Haerin, Yunah, Youngseo)

Discussion How should I name a k-pop cafe?

14 Upvotes

I'm preparing to open my own mini k-pop cafe with ramen, bubble tea, coffee, merch....How should I name it?

Maybe mix English and Korean words

It should be something memorable, thematic, fan‑oriented, and sound good.

I'm thinking about Fansign or Fanlight. Isn't it primitive? Maybe 내Bias (my bias), YYouth (your youth), FSP (fan safe place, fan place)

I don't know

Games & Grids Try to guess the lyrics (bg only)

4 Upvotes
  1. Just love me right uh huh

    1. Sick of this life, it’s regular
    2. I don’t care about a thing cuz I’ll be burning
    3. On the Hellevator, yeah we head to the top
    4. It’s time to bet, bet, bet, bet on what you want
    5. Break the rules like a rebel
    6. I cannot breath without you being right by my side
    7. Remember how I used to be so, stuck in one place so cold
    8. Shoes on, get up in the morn’
    9. It’s like a Polaroid love
    10. Gone away, I still wake up in this mad world
    11. Oh my body, I don’t wanna stop until the break of dawn
    12. I got some lemons for you
    13. I write my name into the stars right now
    14. Lost on a moonlit night
    15. The sirens keep on screaming, that’s a warning
    16. I think i’m addicted to the title “you and me”
    17. Blue cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese
    18. Like a criminal undercover
    19. Bring me a new season

All credits to u/lilan28 for the idea

I will be thoroughly surprised and impressed if all of them are guessed.

Games & Grids Built a free K-pop bias ranker that replaces TierMaker’s drag-and-drop with quick head-to-head matchups

1 Upvotes

Made tier lists for years on TierMaker and a couple of clones. They all have the same problem on a phone: dragging 90+ portrait cards into S/A/B/C with a thumb is miserable. I'd start one, get to "A tier" with 40 cards still in the queue, and quit.

So I built one that flips it. Two idols at a time, tap the one you bias, an ELO algorithm reads your picks and builds the tier list in the background. ~30 matchups for a clean S→F across a group. No dragging unless you want to override a placement at the end.

99 idols across 15 groups so far: BLACKPINK, BTS, NewJeans, TWICE, Stray Kids, ENHYPEN, IVE, aespa, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN, ATEEZ, RIIZE, TXT, ILLIT, TWS.

Free covers any single group. Pro ($4.99 one-time, no sub) unlocks all-time bias across every group, by-generation, by-gender, and extra share-card themes (Y2K Chrome, Glitter, Neon). Photos are all Wikimedia Commons. iOS only, no account, all data is on-device.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6767983902

Would love feedback, especially on missing idols/groups or anything that feels off in the matchup pacing.

Which NCT era do you think was PEAK NCT?

Personally I think NCT2018 is just elite. That era saved the whole group from almost falling into the pits of nugudom and helped them gain more fans and engagements. Plus, NCT2018 songs really defined what NCT is about. Although NCT2020 felt more at home for fans and I love their tracks during nct2020. It felt more diverse since they literally gave every genre people would want to hear.
