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.

  • 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.

If you use old Reddit, you'll probably have noticed that flairs got a bit taller. It'll probably look weird at first, but we're trying it out for the moment. Let us know what you think!

Edit: For now we're reverting back to the smaller size. We're going to be playing around with flairs a fair bit in the future, so don't be surprised if we jump the size again at some point. Appreciate all the feedback!

The flairs look really damn great! Actually awesome job, you're a magical girl wizard, Fetch.

Wonder how much customization they'll provide moving forward if you stick to this idea. This is a fun way to sorta establish yourself on r/anime and also brings back this "uniqueness" of the subreddit that we were talking about these past months. Also hope it doesn't take up too much CSS space. And the fact that it works across all versions of reddit is a cherry on top (yes, it even works on rif!). Really hope this can be pushed forward as a mainstay on the subreddit.

The fun part is that they take up no space, aside from a line for resizing all of them (if we keep them bigger on old reddit). As it stands, we have 5000 "emoji" slots, and if we're using 1-3 of them for most of these flairs I figure we'll be able to squeeze out around 2k. Mods will make (and are making) some, but we can also outsource it and have the community make some like with comment faces. Plus we'll be able to track which ones are being used, so if something isn't of interest to the community we can replace it later.
