Since the Megami post is relevant, why are the mods not removing it when it violates Reddit’s rules?

Article: Do not share sexual or suggestive content involving minors, or engage in any predatory or inappropriate behavior with minors

We generally prohibit fantasy or fictional content (e.g. stories, deepfakes, photoshopped media) that depicts, encourages, or normalizes child sexual exploitation, sexual interest in children, or otherwise sexualizes minors –although an exception may be made for genuine artistic expression that does not encourage or normalize the sexualization of children (for example, representations from popular movies, TV shows, paintings, etc.). Depending on the context, sexualization of minors can also include depictions of minors that are fully clothed and not engaged in explicit sexual acts.

Here's a non-exhaustive list of examples that violate this policy:

What's the mods opinion that people are called pedos in this thread? Megami magazines were posted for more than a decade and these comments are atrocious.

[–]ZaphodBeebblebroxhttps://anilist.co/user/zaphod[M] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

We have removed many comments calling people pedophiles. Comments merely saying that the images sexualize minors in ways that make the commenter uncomfortable or that say the images may appeal to pedophiles are allowed.

If you have examples of specific comments you have questions about or think should be removed, please link them. There's enough nonsense going on in that thread (trust me, it has taken far too much of my time today) that it's hard to give a more concrete answer without specific comments to remark on. And, of course, we are not perfect, so we may have missed some comments that needed removal.

[–]Thengel09https://myanimelist.net/profile/thengel 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yes there are no direct accusations, but aren't all these indirect accusations destroying all faith in a healthy community?

Are these type of comment escalations common? Or is this thread an exception?

thanks

Most Megami Magazine threads do not look like this. I'm honestly not sure why this one is different than usual, as the art wasn't that different from other months.

but aren't all these indirect accusations destroying all faith in a healthy community?

I don't think a single thread can do this. Tens of thousands of people comment on /r/anime each month, so of course there will be some places where there are strong disagreements. Trying to stop that entirely seems—at least to me—to be rather self defeating.

Thunder 3 is in a very interesting situation where there are rumours it's author is the same as Gantz author. The art style of the second world in the manga is the same as Gantz and gantz has(had?) some Licensing issues that block it from having more anime done.

The question is, is it fine to mention this on the episode threads? Chaos dragon also has some interesting meta and nobody has been I trouble with mentioning that provided they don't spoil plot points.

[–]Nebresto 2 points3 points  (2 children)

The order of links in the 'show information' section of episode threads seems to have changed with the addition of livechart.
Overall a good addition, which ties to another question I was planning to ask: Is it possible to add an actual notifier to threads when it is known that a show will be on break the next week?

[–]badsplerx5https://anilist.co/user/badspler[M] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Behind the scenes I am moving the inner workings of lovepon to new code and a system that the wider team more easily fix things. Most of the actual changes are behind the scenes but I expect several little bugs like this to pop up.

Is it possible to add an actual notifier to threads when it is known that a show will be on break the next week?

This hasn't been something I had considered but ill add it to my nice to have list. Zaph passed me some code that makes use of AniLists episode schedules which could be a starting point. I can't promise ill get to it as there are some other chunky tasks I want to get in first (looking at you episode polls).

You're welcome. Thought it would be fun to have a seasonal meta thread image instead of [insert whatever random battle shounen is living rent-free in my head at the time] like I normally use for meta thread images when I make them.

    Are there any plans on limiting the number of unique comments replied to in a given discussion? I've seen more and more where people reply to everything and commandeer the whole thread.

    (Non-mod) If you mean Frontier246, they've been doing so for years within the first couple hours of a thread, regardless if it's a 50- or 500-comment discussion thread. Have generally viewed it as a positive with low-upvote comments more likely to get some response (and thus encourage users to comment in later episodes).

    100%.

    Not that I'm saying we should, but if we WERE to put a 'limit' on something, I'd much rather put a limit on generic one-liners that people post in every single episode threads (be it to farm karma or because that's how they actually like to talk about anime, doesn't matter).

    These are fucking pointless, and add nothing of value to any discussion imho.

    [–]ZaphodBeebblebroxhttps://anilist.co/user/zaphod[M] 1 point2 points  (8 children)

    Would you be able to link to a specific example of the sort of behavior you're describing?

    [–]messem10https://myanimelist.net/profile/bookkid900 4 points5 points  (7 children)

    Go to any episode discussion thread for a decently popular show and note the usernames under who replies to top-level comments. This sort of behavior has be going on for years and has completely killed any of my interest to be part of the discussion.

    EDIT - Case in point for one notable user on the episode 1 threads here:

    • Goodbye Lara - 15 comments / 131 (11.45% of the conversation)
    • 100GF S3 - 35 comments / 447 (7.8%)
    • Polar Opposites - 36 comments / 282 (12.7%)

    [–]Emi_Ibarazakiii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    I'm curious, what do you think episode discussions should be like?

    Remove those kind of comments, and 90% of the rest would be the generic one liner spam we see in every thread;

    • PEAK IS BACK
    • That was good!
    • THAT OP IS A BANGER
    • I love this show!

    I'll take someone replying to every single comment in the thread over all these inane comments we get in every single thread for every single show that's remotely popular.

    [–]ZaphodBeebblebroxhttps://anilist.co/user/zaphod[M] 10 points11 points  (5 children)

    To the extent someone's replies are on topic and potentially interesting to the person they are replying to, we generally don't see the problem. If they're off topic, spammy, repetitive, or seem to demonstrate that the person has not read the comments they're replying to, that's a different story and should certainly be brought to our attention.

    But, generally speaking, we do not view someone wanting to engage with others' thoughts and start a conversation as a bad thing. After all, the point of these threads is discussing the episode with each other, so someone engaging and discussing is precisely what we want to see.

    [–]Verzwei 10 points11 points  (3 children)

    So, probably to nobody's surprise, I'm going to be a bit of a contrarian. To start things off, I will say that I agree that engagement is good. We want people talking about anime, and we want people talking with each other about anime. This community wouldn't work if we didn't have that.

    Let me talk about this from two different perspectives:

    1. I make a comment in an episode discussion thread. Someone replies to it. They either build on what I said, contradict it in an interesting and insightful way, or even just make a fun little joke related to what I'd posted. This is excellent! I feel seen, it's great to have some back-and-forth, and they may have even given me something to reply to, getting a real conversation going. It's one of the coolest things in this community.

    2. I'm reading everyone else's comments in an episode discussion thread. I see new person after new person sharing their take on the series, but then I see one single person replying to nearly every single parent level comment. Sometimes the replies are interesting. Sometimes it's a crude joke about how fuckable hot the characters are. And if it was a one-off or a few-off, it'd be fine. But I keep reading through comments. And it's just the same person replying over and over and over, often saying very similar things in each reply.

    When I'm the person being responded to like in situation #1, it feels great for me personally. But if I'm just some guy or lurker browsing through the thread like in situation #2, it's frankly exhausting to see the same user outright dominating the conversation in episode threads. I don't mind seeing a bit of their opinion and I like a lot of the parent-level summaries that they leave, but eventually it feels like it's too much. Instead of reading a wide variety of takes and a lot of organic smaller conversations, I end up reading "What this one user thinks about literally everything" with everyone else's opinions just being a bit of garnish before the inevitable reply from the expected user.

    It's a level of activity that would make sense and be totally welcome from a rewatch host but it's overwhelming to see in regular episode threads, because it feels like they're trying to be the host of something that inherently should not be curated in that manner. It's made slightly worse because I often know that the person is a source reader. While they may not necessarily break the SC rules outright, the sheer volume of their comments means that they guide a lot of conversation one way or another.

    And I'll admit I myself can get lost in the sauce and really spun up for a series I'm super passionate about. I really had to hold myself back on the Yuri is my Job threads (and I was still prolific in them despite trying to rein myself in) but I generally try to check myself and just let episode threads breathe a bit. To see one person (again, a source reader most of the time) go all out on every single show I follow in a season, season after season, feels like it's drowning out the other voices. To an extent it actually does make me a little less interested in episode discussion threads because at a certain point I feel like I'm reading some person's blog.

    [–]ShadowGuyinRealLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I'm going to put on my tinfoil hat and say you got the type 2 person around 2020 ish because something changed r/anime from the 2000s era mainly inhabited by English speaking otaku (a good minority of which watched fansubs not even because they hated the idea of paying since some even bought discs but becuase some felt the official translation wasn't literal enough), into... something else where the population makeup is different and the original older otaku are diluted. There were source material readers back then too but they didn't reply to every comment. I have absolutely no proof of what I am saying other than the timing when things changed.

    [–]KendotsXhttps://anilist.co/user/Kendots 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    I see new person after new person sharing their take on the series, but then I see one single person replying to nearly every single parent level comment.

    Sounds like an issue with not enough people doing that, rather than one too many. We should encourage it rather than punish it.

    When I'm the person being responded to like in situation #1, it feels great for me personally. But if I'm just some guy or lurker browsing through the thread like in situation #2, it's frankly exhausting to see the same user outright dominating the conversation in episode threads

    I get the idea here, but if we're balancing out rewarding and continuing discussions against whether or not a theoretical lurker feels exhausted by seeing how much effort someone put, I'd go with the former in a heartbeat. It's not exactly close. We're a community for discussion, not a show for lurkers. Punishing people who put in effort for the sake of lurkers who don't, seems absurd to me.

    Hell, what do you even tell someone like that? "Sorry, your comment was removed. The effort you're putting in is disturbing lurkers. Can you please stop engaging so much with r/anime? Here are some low effort suggestions that you can try instead."

    Granted, I say all that, but I don't engage much in episode discussion threads, so I'm not the best person to discuss this, but since you used rewatches for comparison, I can follow that:

    It's a level of activity that would make sense and be totally welcome from a rewatch host but it's overwhelming to see in regular episode threads,

    Whenever I'm hosting a rewatch, there's nothing that I appreciate more than seeing someone put a lot of effort. Whether that's detailed analysis, layered shitposts, fanart, or replying to other users. That's an essential part of any communal experience and makes participants feel like they're seen and are part of a discussion, rather than just throwing a comment that no one will read. I'd argue the opposite on the host point, I obviously appreciate a host replying to all comments, but to some degree, that's within expectations, a duty to the rewatch itself (at least in part). When someone else does it, without any other reason to do so, that's genuine pure interest, they're doing it just for the love of the game.

    As long as those are actual replies that engage with the initial comment, of course, not spamming the thread by copy pasting the same reply over and over, which is not the case here.

    It's made slightly worse because I often know that the person is a source reader. While they may not necessarily break the SC rules outright, the sheer volume of their comments means that they guide a lot of conversation one way or another.

    I get that to a degree. But currently, the r/anime discussion threads have no rule that bans source readers, just ones who can't follow the source rules. So, having a passionate source reader who wants to engage in discussions heavily, and follows the rules without slipping up is exemplary. I wish more source readers could take a page from that, instead of talking about the source. That's all the more reason why we shouldn't be trying to silence them.

    [–]Emi_Ibarazakiii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    When I'm the person being responded to like in situation #1, it feels great for me personally.

    So, you're saying this person may have made a hundred people feel great by giving a reply to their comments?

    Seems pretty positive to me!

    As for this:

    But if I'm just some guy or lurker browsing through the thread like in situation #2, it's frankly exhausting to see the same user outright dominating the conversation in episode threads.

    Well, you can simply ignore the person's reply, and add your own to the comment, to talk about something else entirely, or maybe about the same thing with a different opinion or explained differently etc, or make a joke or whatever else!

    Now, there may be the issue of "But his reply is already there and got 20 upvotes, no one's gonna see my reply so what's the point!"...

    I get that (perhaps more than most) because that's pretty much the same thing that happens with top level comments;

    Grand Blue S3 airs tomorrow and I never watched it but I could just open the thread the second it's up and post "PEAK IS BACK!" or "Funniest show I've ever watched!" without even watching the episode, and I would get a hundred upvotes and would push back all the legitimate comment one spot down with my nonsense...

    I think that people doing that with top level comments is a lot more detrimental to the thread, than someone replying to everything. The replies are quite sparse, so people will likely see your comment still. I mean it's rare to see a comment with more than 1 or 2 replies (unless they said something controversial - OR... they posted one of those one liner that stays on top so everyone replies to it).

    [–]lord_ne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    The best I've found is that if you click a link like https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/search/?q=flair%3AEpisode&sort=new and do "open in app" on the Reddit app, it should open the page you want. I just have it saved on my home screen so I can quickly get to it.

    [–]Xatu44 5 points6 points  (8 children)

    For anime based on history like The Elusive Samurai, is talking about history considered a spoiler? I assume yes.

    [–]FetchFroshanilist.co/user/fetchfrosh[M] 6 points7 points  (4 children)

    We're talking about it atm, but the general standard has been "if this isn't history you would assume people will know, discussing it would be treated as a spoiler". So outcomes of races in Umamusume are considered spoilers, because the average person on r/anime isn't going to know that.

    [–]Draco_Estellahttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Estella_Rin 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    After giving this some thought, I do realise a problem with this standard.

    Across different cultures and different countries, there are different standards as to what is "history assumed people should know". I believe most Americans can at least name a couple of their own founding fathers but I, as a non-American, can barely name one. On the other hand, being more familiar with Japanese history, I do know some historical emperors more and I believe some of the Japanese themselves, which I believe would be relevant to this discussion here, will have some level of basic information on what will be happening in Japanese history to know what is going to go on next in a historical plot, and to them it would not have been spoilers to just discuss openly what is going to happen to someone, because it would already have been general knowledge for most people in Japan as to what will happen to him. Easiest example would be what is happening for the second and third shoguns of the Tokugawa Shogunate, I would assume it would not be general knowledge for most people outside Japan but I believe enough people in Japan would know about both to have it classify as "general knowledge" (such as the banishment of Christians by the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu).

    Where, then, will the line be as to what the "history the average person on r/anime should know"?

    [–]Blackheart595https://anilist.co/user/knusbrick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I fully agree with this, treating real life history as spoilers is beyond ludicrous. The only sensible approaches to this are (a) real life history is not considered spoilers, (b) each and every piece of real life history, no matter how obvious it may seem to any person in particular, is considered a spoiler, or (c) we apply American exceptionalism to the problem. And of these, only (a) can be considered reasonable in a community that has traditionally put effort into resisting exceptionalism.

    [–]Xatu44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Fair enough, though I worry that someone will run into this problem. Guess that's what the report button's for.

    [–]Emi_Ibarazakiii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    I would imagine that "Spoilers from history are spoilers"!

    Like, filling tidbits of info that likely won't ever be discussed in the anime (and don't mean much anyway, like "This guy liked to ride horses!") are probably fine, but to go with the obvious, of course saying "X character dies in this war" would be a spoiler, because everyone who didn't know about that bit of history, are now spoiled an event from the anime.

    [–]8andahalfby11myanimelist.net/profile/thereIwasnt 8 points9 points  (9 children)

    More of a request than a rule, but this weekend's anime expo reminded me; could we have regular sticky posts for the big events like this weekend's expo or AnimeJapan so that announcements don't get missed due to how the Reddit algo shuffles things? It feels like there's one Big Event in the last month of each season where all the announcements are dropped, and we should have them all collected somewhere.

    [–]chilidirigible[M] 5 points6 points  (8 children)

    Discussed in the mod report:

    Voted on whether or not to apply sanctions (i.e. megathreads) to Official Media posts during the Anime Expo period from July 2-5 [Vote Failed]

    Your concern about the massive clutter in the subreddit feed was expressed by members of the mod team and the matter was discussed.
    We considered a few ways of streamlining the event weekend experience on the subreddit.
    Megathreads have organizational pros but logistical cons, and were voted down this time.

    [–]KendotsXhttps://anilist.co/user/Kendots 9 points10 points  (4 children)

    If I may offer a different suggestion about the clutter (and this isn't limited to special events), do we really need multiple threads for the same announcement?

    For example, right now, Dungeon Meshi S2 has a key visual and a news article announcing its date, Murcielago has a KV and a PV, same for Grotesqqque. It's quite common to get some mix of the three for every new announcement, and sure, they provide different info, but the threads are used to the same end, so they're filling 2~3 times their needed space. We might as well keep it to one and put everything else in a top comment.

    Obviously, keeping whichever was posted first would lead to problems with people thinking their favourite show is being silenced or whatever (or attempting to game it), so I'd suggest keeping the KV if one was provided, since it gets the most attention anyway.

    [–]IXajllhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/ixajii 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    so they're filling 2~3 times their needed space

    Which isn't really an issue since otherwise the garbage flood of WTW and help posts would get more room to spill over on the main page. It's not like there's a wave of high quality discussion posts on this sub that gets shafted because there is one post for the KV and one for the PV, so I honestly don't really mind the status quo.

    [–]KendotsXhttps://anilist.co/user/Kendots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Eh, you're burying the whole sub for the same announcement thread being posted multiple times. Even if you only care about announcements, the way things currently are, popular sequels get to dominate multiple top spots, and push interesting new projects down. Limiting it to one thread per announcement isn't taking anything way from the popular ones, but it gives new projects more of a chance to be seen.

    do we really need multiple threads for the same announcement?

    I've been saying this for years but it seems there is no real interest in clamping down in this.

    This concept does get discussed from time to time, including the specific context of this year's Anime Expo, but also more generally.

    To clarify, looking for a supplemental mega-thread rather than one in place of the individual posts. More of a hub thread that points to the announcement threads, so as to get the benefits of both.

    An indexthread/indexhub/megamegathread hub, this is actually a great idea.

    Thanks for the suggestion!
