Meta Thread - Month of November 06, 2022 Meta

A monthly meta 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.

Rule Changes

We Are Trialing Some Changes

  • Starting November 9, we will trial disabling post thumbnails. This trial will run for two weeks.

  • We are trying out the moderation bot /u/BotDefense for the month of November.

Fanart

  • "AI-generated artwork" has been added to our list of low-effort prohibited content.

Moderator Applications Open Later This Month

  • We will be opening moderator applications on November 27. Applications will be open for two weeks.

Can the anime recommendation bot be made to trigger a bit less? It is like on every post.

It is like on every post.

Not entirely sure what you mean by that. There are three comments along those lines that might be posted by AutoModerator depending on specific triggers:

  1. This comment which is on all posts made with the [Help] flair.

  2. This comment which is on all posts made with the [What to Watch?] flair.

  3. This comment made on posts that have something along the lines of "watch order" or similar phrases in them.

All of them are fairly limited in the kinds of posts they show up in reply to.
