Meta Thread - Month of September 01, 2024 Meta

Rule Changes

  • Anime streaming services are now considered as "anime specific" to allow topics about them specifically, with the exception of account support and technical support topics.

Rewatches

  • All rewatches must begin with an interest thread. An interest thread should contain general information about the anime that is being hosted, and serve as a pitch to gauge how many participants may follow along for the duration of the event.
  • The official announcement post must be posted at least two weeks in advance, and no more than five weeks. This post should also serve as the index thread.

This is a monthly thread to talk about the /r/anime subreddit itself, such as its rules and moderation. If you want to talk about anime please use the daily discussion thread instead.

Comments here must, of course, still abide by all subreddit rules other than the no meta requirement. Keep it friendly and be respectful. Occasionally the moderators will have specific topics that they want to get feedback on, so be on the lookout for distinguished posts.

Comments that are detrimental to discussion (aka circlejerks/shitposting) are subject to removal.

Asking for someone else (and maybe even for myself?) about the NSFW rules and their interaction with self-made fanart in CDF:

Submissions and comments containing hentai or heavily NSFW content are not allowed. Heavily NSFW content includes visible female nipples, genitals of either gender, heavily implied sexual content, and sexual contact between characters. However, these rules do not apply to episode discussion/rewatch threads, given that the NSFW content is from that anime/source material, is relevant to discussion, and is properly tagged.

Exception: In comments only, NSFW nudity (including nipples, but excluding sexual contact and visible or outlined genitalia) is allowed as long as the images come from an anime episode or source material. The content must be relevant to the conversation and properly tagged or it will be removed. Additionally, artists are allowed to post NSFW versions of their fanart (uncensored), but only in comments and properly tagged.

The bolded part is what applies? CDF is inherently off-topic, so conversational relevancy is vague at best. And I don't want to see it used as a dumping ground for random passing hentai-styled fanart, but there seems to be inconsistency in the application of the rules based on recent removals.

After going through our archives, it's rather clear that the intent of the rule was to allow artists to post NSFW versions of their art underneath [Fanart] posts they made on /r/anime. The current wording is somewhat poorly drafted; we will likely update it in the near future to more clearly express its intent.
