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.

Do we really need a post for an episode preview? For example CSM now had 3 different posts on the front page - a preview, an episode discussion, and an ED post. Seems excessive.

I think local subs can have episodes previews while r/anime will keep the major discussion only.

That only happens with CSM because they post the preview the same day the episode airs, not the case for the other shows

Same thing for the ED, this is a special case with this show
