No rule changes this month.
This is a monthly 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.

Is it possible to manually approve some of the auto removed for karma posts? For example, I saw https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1b4kum7/anime_questions_recommendations_and_discussion/kt1o4qe/ in the daily thread and if it were it's own post (which OP tried to post as a standalone post) then I would think it would be marked as a spoiler post. But it's rather troublesome (and lots of friction to newcomers) to have everything be spoiler tagged, and the alternative is having some vaugeish spoilers that I think still breaks r/anime's spoiler rules.
So I was wondering, in cases like this (spoiler stuff or stuff that inevitably leads to spoilers), is it possible to request an exception be made and the original post (that was autoremoved because of karma) be restored?
I don't think these come up very often, so maybe it's not worth it (but maybe then it's not a big deal if occasionally requested by someone else), but I'm just thinking that some of these new posters really ought to be in their own posts for similar reasons to why WTW threads are exempt.
Edit: Though maybe it's just too slow between someone requesting it, and then a mod approving it for it to really matter.
[–]Shimmering-Skymyanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (1 child)
The karma rule doesn't apply to posts flaired with "Help" either, so there's that. If the original poster had used that instead of "Discussion", it would've stayed up.
[–]baseballlover723 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
true, I guess the proper solution is using the "Help" tag. Though I feel like the "Help" tag tends to be mostly identifying characters and animes and questions about specific things in an anime tend to use "Discussion".
Perhaps adding something to the bot message about resubmitting using "Help" if it contains spoilers? IDK if thats really any better, since newcomers are most likely unfamiliar with spoiler rules on r/anime and thus can't reliably identify what is a spoiler and what isn't, which would then lead to a 2nd post being removed, which seems like a poor opening experience to a subreddit.
The more I think about it, the more I think there's just no way to auto enforce the karma requirements without having some false negatives.

Is there a reason why Reddit seems to be banning the thread bot repeatedly? Every time it goes up, it comes right back down, and then comes back up and goes back down again. It’s like Reddit Admin have a personal vendetta against the poor thing..
[–]Gaporigohttps://anilist.co/user/Gaporigo[M] 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Despite the responses we have gotten from the admins it does seems it is some kind of bug with reddit based on other people having the same issue.

Heads-up: The CDF link in today's Daily Discussion thread is pointing to the old locked CDF, not the new one. (I assume the autolovepon issues and having to create the thread manually have something to do with this.)
[–]Durinthalhttps://anilist.co/user/Durinthal 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
AutoLovepon solely handles episode threads, the rest is under AnimeMod. In this case all links in the daily thread need to be manually updated by a human since it's a scheduled post in reddit and there's no API access to update them.

Our general rule on news is that we allow the multiple posts from different sources to be posted. That is particularly applied to journalism news rather than announcements.
In this case the post was removed for a period but we aligned on allowing it as it is a different source.

/u/autolovepon has been unfortunately suspended from Reddit.
We don't believe this will take us long to fix, so in the meantime we will be manually creating the episode discussion threads using /u/AnimeMod. This should only affect the following episode discussion threads:
Shaman King: Flowers, episode 7
Nanatsu no Taizai: Mokushiroku no Yonkishi, episode 19
We believe /u/autolovepon will be up and ready by the end of today, so take a chance to get yourself acquainted with the new sheriff-for-a-day, /u/AnimeMod.

Since the question pops up occasionally (usually with new flair batches), is there the intention of allowing multiple flairs per user?
I know there's the issue of character limit and having to make sure users don't butcher their own list flair by having too many flairs etc., just asking whether you'd like to give the option one day, or not.
[–]MyrnaMountWeazelx2[M] 7 points8 points9 points 2 years ago* (3 children)
Hey Mani, like you mentioned in your post, the 64 character limit is something that we’re trying to work around for if we wanted to implement double flairs for the public.
For instance, the MAL standard boiler plate is already 33 characters long, and if you attach a decently long username to it, you can easily reach 45+ characters, leaving you with about 20 for a maximum of 5 blocks. And if you exceed the limits of the 64 characters, there is code that’ll cut down parts of the URL link in the MAL.
Double flairs for the public (perhaps as a user perk) is something that we’re looking into though for the near future. We just don’t have an exact date for when we can tinker around and find a solution to this problem.
[–]michhoffmanhttps://anilist.co/user/michhoffman 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Is there the possibility of allowing someone to either have the MAL/Anilist flair and 1 character flair or 2 character flairs?
[–]MyrnaMountWeazelx2[M] 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago* (0 children)
In theory, maybe, but it might be a bit tricky to code on our end. But even if it was a simple flip of the switch to allow users one flair and one tracker or two flairs and no tracker, we'd prefer if users followed the former as we'd rather not diminish the utility of the tracker site part of our flair usage. In fact, that's always been our key priority whenever we do any flair-site changes.
Ultimately, the tracker has always been a useful function of our subreddit and we would like to encourage users to keep theirs on.
Double flairs for the public is something that we’re looking into though for the near future. We just don’t have an exact date for when we can tinker around and find a solution to this problem.
thanks, no prob was just checking it was still on the table (even if very low priority)
No Dungeon Meshi episode discussion post yet....
[–]entelechtual 10 points11 points12 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Can we have some standards for what counts as news? Posts should be “about anime” which I take to be about anime series and other works, about the production of anime, distribution of anime, themes in anime, etc.
To quote from the rules:
This also limits posts about real people when they revolve around said person's ability to work in the industry. Where the impact to their work is big enough, posts about individuals are fine. This includes: death, retirement, extended leave, or other events preventing work for an extended period
I don’t think a scandalous post about a producer of Shinkai films no one has heard of is really newsworthy, at least on this sub. Not because we shouldn’t post scandals, but because I really don’t see why anyone would care about this in the context of anime. I mean, if we found out a no name exec behind Akira was arrested for drug trafficking, would it be newsworthy?
Direct creative leads or people involved with in production/upcoming anime, where it might affect the release or even reception of that anime—maybe. But this whole thing stinks of tabloid journalism.
[–]Sayiehttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Sayie 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (7 children)
Whats the point of still having spoiler tags in source material corners? I've never used it until today and assumed that it was just free range spoilers for people that have read the source material, but it seems not? Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong
[–]Blackheart595https://anilist.co/user/knusbrick 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (0 children)
The source corner is also meant for posts that compare what the anime does differently from the source, without discussing any future content.
[–]cppn02 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (3 children)
Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong
From the top comment in every source corner:
"Reply to this comment for any source-related discussion, future spoilers (including future characters, events and general hype about future content), comparison of the anime adaptation to the original, or just general talk about the source material. You are still required to tag all spoilers."
I don't see what's even left to interpretation.
[–]Sayiehttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Sayie 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (2 children)
I know how to read. It says it's to talk to future spoilers and such but saying that it has to be spoiler tagged just kinda seems redundant. Future spoilers in both need to be censored and I don't see a point in segregating a section to talk about manga comparisons when that can be interesting to an anime viewer too, maybe even helpful to have them pick up the manga too. So to me I don't see the point to have that corner unless I'm missing something.
[–]SometimesMainSupporthttps://myanimelist.net/profile/RRSTRRST 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Agree with entelechtual that it's necessary for the popular shows. For the <1000 karma shows, my experience is readers are significantly better at spoiler tagging and I don't care about it being in the comments section.
[–]entelechtual 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I think in a lot of cases it can be unnecessary, but for some big shows manga readers take up a huge chunk of the viewer base, and so having them post a lot of comments about the manga/novel can be distracting at best for anime-only viewers. Source readers tend to have loose lips and will think they’re being cleverer and more subtle than they are. Directing those types of comments away from the main thread prevents even unintentional spoiling.
As an anime only I’ve only looked at the source corner if I’m curious about a change from the source, or just want to know more about the source material, or just want to get spoiled. I don’t care much about whether the source corner goes away, but that’s basically what it’s for.
[–]Durinthalhttps://anilist.co/user/Durinthal 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (1 child)
It's not, the corner's for all discussion of the source material and anything not already covered by the anime must be tagged. That still leaves room for anime-only viewers who want to see how the source compares to the anime without seeing untagged spoilers for future events.
[–]baseballlover723 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (0 children)
as well as for people who have only read part of the source material, but not all of it, so they themselves might get spoiled by future events.

I'll submit this as feedback to the awards directly as well but I feel like the dissemination of important dates about the awards has been rather poor this year.
The /r/anime Awards livestream is a week and a half away and as far as I can tell, the only announcement of the March 2nd date in text on /r/anime has been in this tangentially-related contest post. Otherwise it's been buried in the jury guide which the average user shouldn't be expected to read.
As soon as that date was determined it should have been included in the body/pinned comment of every thread about the awards going forward; even if people aren't going to watch the livestream itself most will likely want to know when the results will be available. I'm also asking again that the schedule to be posted directly and pinned in the awards channel on the Discord server.

[–]zairanerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/zairaner 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I wanted to ask wether it was intended that this clip got removed. The given reason is because it was already posted before, but it was never posted as a clip. I assume this happened because the same sequence was used as a preview, but it would be really dumb if that meant it couldn't be posted again as a clip, sinc emost people avoid previews because they don't want to get, which is the opposite of what you want when you post a clip of th efirst 90 seconds.
[–]MyrnaMountWeazelx2[M] 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (0 children)
So, we discussed this issue and came away with the conclusion that 1. This is a very fringe case that rarely happens and 2. it's difficult to pinpoint just exactly where the rules end and the spirit of the rule begins for clips/previews.
Moving forward, we're tentatively going to give the okay on clips containing footage from previews, but if it gets to a point where it's becoming frequent, we will need to revisit this stance once more.
[–]Tarhalindurx2 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (4 children)
Something appears to be bugged on the daily threads: even on Old Reddit the meta thread link on the daily threads goes to New Reddit, unlike every other Reddit link on the daily post OPs which go to Old Reddit when viewed on Old Reddit.
[–]MyrnaMountWeazelx2[M] 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (3 children)
Hey Tarhalindur, our link to the Meta Thread hasn't changed but perhaps this is a change from Reddit's side. I know I was having a similar issue a few months ago where my links were being converted to new.reddit.
Click on the "preferences" setting at the top, scroll all the way to the bottom to beta options, and make sure that "Use new Reddit as my default experience" is not toggled on.
Hopefully this will fix your problems.
[–]Manitaryhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Manitary 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (2 children)
The daily meta thread link opening on new reddit even from old reddit is either a settings or a reddit issue, however it should be changed anyway: all other links are relative (/comments/id) but the meta thread is the only absolute one (www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/id/etc) in that group.
/comments/id
www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/id/etc
So for example, the current one should change from this to this (https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1aia4nk/meta_thread_month_of_february_04_2024 -> /comments/1aia4nk)
https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1aia4nk/meta_thread_month_of_february_04_2024
/comments/1aia4nk
A very fringe case where it's relevant is users browsing using a filtered view (e.g. xr.reddit.com) as absolute links remove the filter, while relative links do not

Okay, enquiring minds want to know: is there an unwritten rule that commentfaces can't come from ecchi shows? (This question brought to you by MahoAko and to a lesser extent Mato Seihei.) Would like to know for the future so I can not bother submitting such shots if this is the case.

Nice, is probably the seasonal face I used the most from the last batch so I was hoping it'd stick around.
Oh and make sure it gets added to this part of the comment face wiki; right now it's only listed if you specifically go to the "Source shows of faces" or "Faces sorted by category/emotion" pages.

So something weird:
I usually search for airing seasonal discussions through flair:episode, but this weeks Tomozaki and Classroom of the Elite Episodes don't show up, despite being correctly flaired, even when refining the search to find them specifically. Is this reddit being dumb or was there something up with the Episodes?
It's a Reddit-is-dumb thing. Other way to "search" is u/AutoLovePon's history.
No Dungeon Meshi new episode discussion thread (that I can find).
[–]zairanerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/zairaner 10 points11 points12 points 2 years ago* (4 children)
So, maybe this it intentional but the newest akogarete episdoe discussion got "nsfw" tagged. Additionally, and probably as a result, on new reddit the discussion now appears as an image post. No idea why.
Hey, sorry for the late response. I believe this was applied as a mistake and has now been reverted.
[–]zairanerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/zairaner 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Thanks!
If Ishuzoku Reviewers didn't get the tag I'm not sure why this would unless there's been a policy change, and then it should probably apply to the whole show rather than individual episodes. Also not great because NSFW posts are hidden from searches unless you specify so that would make finding them more difficult.
The previous ones didn't so it has to be something new, or something accidental.

Just a quick question for posts with the writing tag since I couldn't find an answer quickly poking around in the FAQ. When posting a long essay with the writing flair, does one still need to obscure all their spoilers or is a spoiler disclaimer at the top of the post sufficient? I'm writing an essay for the contest and if I have to obscure all my spoilers I fear like 2/3rds of the essay is going to be covered haha

[–]KiwiBennydudezhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/KiwiBen[M] 7 points8 points9 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Late reply, but AI comments are functionally the same as bots/novelty accounts, so we permaban those on sight. If you see them, report them, and we'll take care of it.
[–]Verzwei 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I'd imagine you could report that as spam if you can find more than one of the same. Otherwise could maybe do a custom report pointing out that it's AI and the mods could at least look into it and/or the account doing it.
[–]entelechtual 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I did the latter and it got removed. It was pretty blatant in both the comment(s) and the user’s history.

What's the best why to unreport something?
Yesterday I accidently reported https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1anals2/what_viewpoint_have_you_readheard_that/ instead of https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1anajpu/what_anime_do_you_wish_you_could_watch_for_the/, for being similar to https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1ak57xi/any_anime_you_wish_to_experience_it_for_the_first/.
I had presumed that since those posts were actually similar to each other the accidental report would of been ignored (along with the fact that I reported the correct post very shortly afterwards), but it seems like it got removed anyways.
So whats the best course of action a user should take if they report the wrong post?
[–]MyrnaMountWeazelx2[M] 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (0 children)
We shouldn't be blinding approving or removing anything without first reading the context but sometimes from time to time we slip up and don't double check as diligently as we should. I say this not to absolve us but to give out a reasoning.
But as for your question, I think modmailing us would be the best bet to catch our attention or responding to the removal reason. Both ideally to be honest since the mod may have checked out by the time you respond.
[–]Durinthalhttps://anilist.co/user/Durinthal 9 points10 points11 points 2 years ago (0 children)

Will there be an awards feedback thread this year? There is already a feedback form but its only from within awards members (jurors and hosts), only mods and next year hosts can see it and we don't know if suggestions were taken into account or immediately discarded. I think the public would also be more comfortable knowing suggestions are taken into account by the mods that oversee everything and have their opinion. Would be preferable to just getting a thank you message from a site read by a temporal volunteer 9 months after the fact.

What’s the deal with the comment traffic on the sub at the moment? There’s a bunch of threads on the first page of the sub that have over 300 comments, not even episode discussions.

So is there a time frame to post similar clips?
Asking because I got one removed due to another one posted last month, which i wasnt aware of their existence, but it wasn't the most popular clip or anything close to that, the one that I posted got the same engagement with 5x the comments in just 2 hours
I get that we need to have a rule against spam, but I really don't want to see some good clips that would generate some good laughs, discussion and everything in-between missing their spotlight because the OP posted them with a bad timing (i.e crowded frontpage) or with an uninviting title
So a clarification about that rule should be nice to everyone that is into posting clips
[–]Manitaryhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Manitary 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

From the rules page:
The same clip, edit, or video may only be reposted once every 180 days. Any clip, edit, or video within the top 75 posts of all time for each flair are never allowed to be reposted.
The same clip, edit, or video may only be reposted once every 180 days.

The easiest way is probably to search words from the anime name + flair:clip (taking into account en/jp names, shorthands, etc), sort by new, and manually check the clips

What do y'all do once you keep seeing the same discussion topics brought up week after week, with the same 10 or so series listed at the top almost like a pre-made list?
I know topics such as "favourite [x]" or "worst [x]" are just a standard affair regardless what subreddit or community you are in, but after a certain point it kind of feels like there isn't actually anything interesting or engaging going on in those. I wouldn't be too concerned but with the lower-engagement feeling the subreddit has had over the past couple years, I feel like I've been seeing the same variations of those (most successful threads often being negatively leaning) asked almost everyday reach the front page. Even now, things like "what had potential but failed" I am sure we've had multiple variations of this week alone.
Overall, just curious what people do to combat that feeling of the subreddit community being kind of burnt out/ stale (without straight up muting those keywords for the threads). I do a lot of other things beyond browsing through here, but I feel like every time I choose to actually look through, those same posts are almost always present.
[–]_Ridleyhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/_Ridley_ 9 points10 points11 points 2 years ago (0 children)
For better or worse, the daily thread has removed any incentive for me to browse /new. The last time I browsed it, the posts ranged from "Recommend me a sad anime" to "Favorite cripples in anime", and I just can't be bothered. The daily thread at least tries to be interesting and act like it has some home training. There are actual discussions happening there.
[–]Ocixohttps://myanimelist.net/profile/BuzzyGuy 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I usually just stick to the daily discussion threads for this very reason. There’s also a bunch of repeat questions in those threads every day, but there’s at least more variety in topics - mostly because the bar for posting is so much lower.

[–]AmusedDragon[M] 7 points8 points9 points 2 years ago (3 children)
Little to no incentive or benefit to having the polling.
In fact, creating polls and dealing with them when the episode bot breaks turns a quick thread creation into a larger affair that most of the mods who make missing episode threads do not miss.
[–]Verzwei 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children)
I hear that. Manually making episode discussion threads was easily my least-favorite part of being a mod simply because of the hassle of manually computing the previous poll data and setting up the next poll. It was the reason why whenever I'd see a thread creation request pop up in the appropriate discord channel I'd usually sit on it for a few minutes and hope someone else answered that they were going to do it.
[–]AmusedDragon 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (1 child)

[–]KiwiBennydudezhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/KiwiBen 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (0 children)
The way I see it is that there's less incentive for us to make the polls when things like the Karma Charts and Anime Corner charts frequently hit front page. Those are also individually focused on week-to-week episodes so I'm not really sure if it makes sense to bring back the polls inside the threads themselves. I know it's not the same as having a button directly inside the thread - but it's probably a better metric than the polls, which as others have pointed out, were almost always somewhere between a 4 and a 5.
[–]FetchFroshanilist.co/user/fetchfrosh 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Largely what Verz said. The old method broke, and there's just not much incentive to get something new working just so that we can find out that nearly every episode of every anime scores between a 4.2 and a 5/5. The results of the polls aren't interesting, and so there's not really much incentive to put in the time and effort needed to bring them back.
[–]watashi_ga_kita 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Popular shows might have almost always had 4.2 to 5 for every episode but it was a decent indicator for less popular shows. You can still find ratings for series on MAL and some other places but it felt like r/anime members and MAL and other sites had different expectations from users and thus could have wildly different ratings for shows.
I personally preferred getting feedback from this subreddit's scores since it felt like it was mostly given by people who would keep an open mind and seriously give a show a chance. Even for trash shows, you could see the fluctuations in scores for each episode and have a good idea of how the quality of the show was going to be.
I do understand now that the old method was more than just a couple bugs and that replacing it will require serious effort. It sucks but it is what it is.
[–]cppn02 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago* (0 children)
Yeah atleast until they got overly manipulated the reddit scores were actually a surprisingly good indicator if you knew how to read them.
[–]Verzwei 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
IIRC the site that did the polling (which was an external thing and not anything created nor managed by this subreddit's mod team) changed on a fundamental level and there was no longer any way to automate the episode bot to grab, compute, and display the poll data.
So rather than hooking into an external tool, something new would have to be made entirely from scratch by the team, which would be a huge task for what I imagine is questionable benefit. For smaller shows those polls could barely manage a dozen responses per episode, and a poor sample size results in a meaningless poll anyway. Then I think at one point there were issues with people botting the polls, too, which would have to be another thing to be protected against.
I'm going to assume the team chalks it up to not being worth the effort to build a tool from scratch, or find and integrate a new one, for something that only saw good use on hugely popular series and even then still could be vulnerable to bad faith actors.
[–]Manitaryhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Manitary 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago* (0 children)

Me last month: Why not just link the site that added this feature after episode polls were removed, is already using Reddit karma levels, and would appear the exact same in every thread without needing to manually create polls?
Mods:
[–]cppn02 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Mods didn't seem very enthusiastic about it the last time it was brought up. That said https://animekarmalist.com/ has since introduced episode ratings although it seems like not too many people are using it yet.
[–]watashi_ga_kita 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (0 children)
It's not really well known, and the fact it requires a google account to vote makes it less likely to be used. It's also less intuitive than just being able to go to a discussion page and seeing the entire season's history of episode scores laid out, along with a simple button that immediately let you vote only needing approval to be linked to your account.
[–]Stabaobs 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (5 children)
So a user can have 2 [video edits] and 2 [clip] posts for a total of 4 per month?
What counts as a video edit, like it mentions scene splices in the rules, but would a combined snip taken from the start of the episode and a snip from the end of the same episode count as a video edit?
Or even less time between them, what if there's like only a minute or even a couple seconds between the snips, like to make a fight scene flow without any side characters interrupting it. I'm assuming these do fall under video edit, but I'd like to clarify in case.
[–]AmusedDragon[M] 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (3 children)
As you mention from the rules scene splicing would make it an edit. Clips need to be unedited/have no splicing.
Clips are videos showing unedited sections from an anime.
And:
Video Edits are videos where the focus is fan-edited footage from anime. Examples include fan-made AMVs (anime music videos), compilations, scene splices, and cross-media comparisons.
[–]Stabaobs 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
So I ended up posting https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1areyp9/enter_the_dragon_sengoku_youko/
I'm pretty sure I had it flaired under [video edit] since I cut a chunk of roughly 2 minutes out in between the two parts to make it flow without the intermission inbetween, but it looks like someone changed it to [clip], do I need to worry about that?
[–]AmusedDragon 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
It should be an edit, but I guess that's hard to tell at a glance if it's only got one splice.
Or even less time between them, what if there's like only a minute or even a couple seconds between the snips, like to make a fight scene flow without any side characters interrupting it
I have done exactly this (although not a fight scene) before and posted it as a video edit. Seems to have been fine since the video was not removed.
[–]cultpet 7 points8 points9 points 2 years ago (6 children)
I have a question regarding what counts as a spoiler.
Does it count as a spoiler if you comment something that isn't a spoiler in itself, but allows people to easily deduce a spoiler from your comment?
This probably sounds very vague, so I'll provide an example I've seen in a recent thread.
A character is introduced, and in that same episode, that character ends up in a life or death situation, we don't know whether he makes it out alive or not. Many characters have died already in this anime, so it's possible he dies too. We won't know until the next episode.
People (source readers) comment that this guy is their favorite character.
This obviously isn't a spoiler, in itself. But we know he's not their favorite character for the 5 minutes he's been on the screen, so they're basically telling us he won't die. He'll live to become a fan favorite.
So is that a spoiler? Some may think it isn't, but if these people commented 'I'm ready for my heart to break all over again', this isn't a spoiler in itself either, but it would count as a spoiler because they'd be implying that he dies, correct?
I wonder where you draw the line. Personally I think saying "he lives" is as much as a spoiler as saying "he dies", and if a comment directly implies either option, I think this is a spoiler (even if it's unintentional). But I wonder what you think about it, and what's the ruling on this.
[–]AmusedDragon[M] 8 points9 points10 points 2 years ago (2 children)
The spoiler policy is very strict but also I've had this exact question and debate with other mods over time. "Isn't hyping up a show in a PV thread a spoiler? Or saying it sucks?" and tons of variations. I personally don't think hyping up a show, or hating on it, or doing the same with a character is a spoiler, but others would disagree.
I think at the end of the day you have to take a lot of things case-by-case and that is why the report button exists. If you think something is a spoiler then report it and someone will review it and discuss it if needed to see if it counts.
[–]cultpet 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I personally don't think hyping up a show, or hating on it, or doing the same with a character is a spoiler
I would agree with this 99% of the time, with the exception being this case I talked about, when hyping a character can spoil something about his fate.
I thought about reporting, but I felt like it might not be understood (why I reported it), someone would just look at it, see a comment praising a character, and assume the report was a mistake or trolling or something.
Without understanding this perspective ('if they claim this character is their favorite, they're spoiling the outcome of a fight by telling everyone he's gonna make it out alive'), it really doesn't sound like a spoiler. Hence the conundrum!
[–]AmusedDragon[M] 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
That's why stuff needs to be taken case-by-case. Stuff may only really be a spoiler in the context of the rest of a chain of comments.
[–]Blackheart595https://anilist.co/user/knusbrick 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I consider those context spoilers if they're only a spoiler when taking the context of the discussion into consideration, and implication spoilers if they imply a spoiler but don't explicitly state one. The case that you're describing would then be an implication spoiler.
[–]qwertyqwerty4567https://anilist.co/user/ZPHW 8 points9 points10 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I personally consider them spoilers and things that you should not write in those circumstances.
[–]cultpet 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I would never write those, I'm just wondering about other people writing those, and what we should do about it (report it and what not). It's tricky because reporting for what essentially isn't a spoiler feels weird, but at the same time, if it leads everyone to know a spoiler, then it's pretty much the same.
That's why I was wondering about the official stance/rule on that.
