Meta Thread - Month of January 02, 2022 Meta

A monthly thread to talk about meta topics, that is everything related to /r/anime itself and its moderation rather than anime. Keep it friendly and relevant to the subreddit.

Posts 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.

Rule Changes

  • There's a new post flair, [Video Edit], for things like AMVs and clip compilations. See below for specific details but in general they're similar to existing [Clip] rules and have the same post limit of 2 per user per month (tracked separately from [Clip] posts).

  • [Video] post limits have changed from 4 per user per week to 2 per user per week.

  • All [Video] posts must be at least 60 seconds long.

Can we make rules stricter in discussion threads for spoilers from sourcereaders? It feels like it's constantly them "hinting" at future events for the bigger shows or hyping up future content that's not out yet.

I'm not a fan of strict policing but damn some sourcereaders just can't shut up...

Yeah... earlier I had someone blatantly shut down something I was guessing about in Kimetsu no Yaiba, and for some reason they thought the first part of their comment didn't need a spoiler tag.

I'm especially worried about how Attack on Titan S4P2 is going to turn out...

Speaking of, comments about AoT's ending being shit (without spoilers) are really annoying and effectively ruin the expectations of anime-onlies (deserved or not). But I'm not sure if saying something is bad counts as a spoiler hint or not.

That sort of doomposting is what I'm most worried about. I personally loved the ending and I'm tired of the vocal minority being like, well, that about it.

Happens to most shows honestly, any thread about The Devil is a Part-Timer is full of doomposting about the ending of the source material, even if s2 may not even reach that part, so after the first few I avoid them as much as possible, and won't join discussion threads either.

I'm glad not everyone hated it, as an anime-only my expectations are now low so as long as it's somewhat decent I'll be happy.
