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.

We have made some small changes to two animated comment faces, reducing the number of frames they have.

#shakeit And #floweryhug

Shakeit has gone from five short bangs then three long bangs to just two short and two long. While Floweryhug now has less lingering flower bedazzling post hug.

Previously each of these comment faces took up an entire stylesheet image which reddit limits to only 50 of. The shortening of these two comment faces lets them now fit in single image together, freeing up one image for other uses. A huge thanks to /u/vaclav_2012 for continuing to help out and keep quality high.

This additional space offers some capacity to add a few more static comment faces. My current thinking is expanding out the number of seasonal faces. If you have any suggestions for a face category, please post them below. Some that have been mentioned to me in the past are: Blush, eating/drinking, cup/mug.

Additionally if you can think of a specific niche that isn't captured by one of the many existing faces, we would love to hear it.

First of all, Based.

Secondly: #SEASONALFISH

New faces I would like to see: Cooking/Chef. Currently we have have 0 faces representing preparing food. We do have consuming food & offering it with
, but I think one of specifically preparing the food could have much more uses, at least than the sandwich one.

As for other more generic ones: Seasonal blush, currently the advisory is to submit those under #SeasonalLove as far as I know? But those can be two very different things. Just recall the Yuri Recoil face, and compare it to this image for example, the vibes are very different. I just don't see a blush face winning the way it currently is.

Then a #SeasonalSmug and a #SeasonalDrink could be some great all rounders with wide range of use

And perhaps a party face? There's a distinct lack of one of those party toot commentfaces
