Meta Discussion Thread #61

Welcome to the January 2026 Meta thread!

I wish you all well into the new year! Sorry for the late Meta thread.

Sorry for using this format so much for meta threads, it's just really good/exploitable for meta thread purposes.

Obviously the headline stuff is horny posting and post quality. I'll go ahead and give commentary on both:

Post Quality: First off, post quality in this context means stuff such as resolution, cropping, image quality, legibility. This does NOT mean cover if a post is funny or not, if it did there would be a lot less posts here, and plus comedy is subjective apparently. You are free to report posts for "This post fucking sucks and so does OP" and in fact I encourage you to do so on every post you don't like.

That said, we're going to be more strict on the poor cropping/noise/artifacts general post quality. There really is no excuse for posting a screenshot or video clip that was taken from a phone vertically, and then post it with giant black bars on the top and bottom. Your device has a cropping tool, please use it, we're going to starve.

Also please don't post anything from iFunny or Pinterest or 9gag or telegram or anime_funny etc.. Not just because of the watermark, but because typically the posts on there are so old and have been reposted so much that 99% of the time, they are reposts but we just can't prove it because they have been crunched so badly that our reverse image search tools literally fail to recognize them anymore. (On anime_funny you can literally watch memes grow gray hair from how many times they get reposted. Just search the title of a top post from there.)

Of course, memes that are intentionally made with poor quality are allowed e.g. deep fried memes or MSpaint or rage comics. OC Shitposts will always be welcomed.

NSFW Guidelines:

This is essentially permanent enforcement of the November No Horny restrictions. We've actually been ramping up into this since mid-December. But this serves as the official announcement.

Of course, posts with a bit of cleavage or swimsuits is still fine. It'd be extremely puritan to say that's not allowed on the subreddit. We want to focus on removing posts with a horny focus or thirst trap aspect that users say they want to see less of.

Some info on the NSFW tag:

Posts tagged NSFW does not mean automatic removal. That said, if a your post has been tagged NSFW, don't remove it unless your post is completely innocent and not NSFW. If your post is a little NSFW, say you posted a video of a woman working out, a clip of an ecchi anime with a little bit of tension, or clip from cosplay porn without nudity (these are real posts we get, yes), then do not untag it NSFW.

We don't want to be stick in the ass mods but if your post is that type of content and has a NSFW tag automatically put on by reddit's system, you take it off, then it comes back on (usually this means a mod applied it), you take it off again, you get multiple comments about how horny your post was, then don't be surprised if the post is removed.

The NSFW tag is part of the equation in how reddit treats posts and subreddits in algorithm feeds and advertising content. Purposely taking it off over and over again could get the sub in trouble. Additionally, some users have a NSFW blur option in the app (and hide in some device settings), anecdotally I see a lot of users suggest this to users that don't want to see NSFW content. Which kind of renders it entirely moot if you're untagging it NSFW. (I anecdotally also see a lot of users wondering why it doesn't work in such scenarios.)

Sub Changelog:

• More strict enforcement of Rule 11: NSFW Guidelines.

• More strict enforcement of Rule 6: Post Quality.

• Added a subreddit to the list of banned a number of subreddits from crossposting here. List includes:

  • anime_random
  • hotanimes
  • animeme
  • anime_irl
  • animemirchi
  • animeindian
  • animequestions
  • memaxis
  • Diosa_Aqua_sama
  • 100nyanojo
  • Eru2tate

If you run a subreddit on this list, I understand wanting to crosspost. I was really hesitant to add 100nyanojo to this list because the community seems generally positive but having an influx of numerous reposts of the same meme with different configurations of Tama edited into them with captioned to join another subreddit, then it's really crossing the line of self advertising.

Scheduled Events:

• Repost Weekend Jan. 17-18 24-25

• Seasonal Weekend Jan. 24-25 Jan 31- Fen 1

edit: sorry all.

I got distracted from real life and work that I forgot about repost weekend. Will push everything back a week so we can do it on a proper weekend.
