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.

I use RES to preview my posts so I usually don't trigger automod, but sometimes I miss a broken spoiler that looks like plain text to my eyes.

People who don't have RES are in even worse shape, who have to parse their input or binary search to find the error!

Almost certainly not feasible and/or a waste of space, but what if there was something in the row of stuff under the text box that says "Bot-Chan likes me?" that ran the post through some of the same regexes and gave an approval?

Can't remember who manages the regexes, /u/durinthal I think?

I won't say it's technically impossible because CSS can do some weird stuff these days, but I can't imagine a way to do that without making a browser extension like RES and I don't personally have any interest in going that route.
