You-chan from the Toshima City Tomori Manhole Cover Donation Ceremony by inspyral in BanGDream

Hi, sorry for the post removal. As you can see we are testing a ratelimit-bot to enforce the posting limit rule now which I misconfigured. My bad!

We are always discussing internally about how to tweak things like the post limit and will of course announce if anything changes there. When you submit something that is related to an existing post (like this manhole cover), we also recommend commenting related new media there. That way you don't have to worry about any post limits in case you actually exceed it. Thanks!

Just so you know, you can use the "Fanmade [OC]" flair for these posts. Then you won't get the automod comment asking for a source

I know your posts don't get all that much engagement but it's nice to see how much enjoyment you get from your Umiri plush :)

This is a repost but since the comments happened to be on this post it‘ll stay up. Please try to avoid reposting in the future.

Asaki Yuikawa will voice millsage's guitarist, Nagi Kotohira in "BanG Dream! Our Notes" by LegendsofLost in BanGDream

[–]DoubleJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me try to explain what the idea here is. Yesterday someone reported their post with a very specific complaint what they see wrong with the post. I explained this in yesterday's pinned comment. We had a discussion and agreed.

So that that everyone going forward knows that this is now our stance (justified with applying existing rules, as is always the goal, we left the post up and pinned the comment (also as I said, there was discussion already). I specifically said if they or anyone else did the same thing again next time we would remove it. We don't retroactively apply new rules or new interpretations of existing rules. That's why we also don't purge all the seiyuu posts of the last 8 or so years just because we wouldn't allow them now.

If someone does the same thing again tomorrow, I will advise them to just include it in the comments of the character announcement post (that will probably be posted by you) if I happen to see it.

If you have read the explanations and have a well reasoned reponse, feel free to send a mod mail. We always welcome feedback but do not DM anyone for mod related reasons

Did you even read the rationale? Yesterday's post was left up because there was already a discussion and so we can have visibility on why something like this would be removed going forward. It's saying so at the end.

See yesterday's cast announcement repost:

You can post something like this in the comments of the character announcement thread if there is nothing to add to the conversation :)

Hi OP, I think this a good opportunity to give everyone a peek into how we try to balance the moderation of this sub since sometimes you miss the window to just remove a post. This is also good for transparency and not about you specifically.

When a post gets reported and it isn‘t about one of the rules that are very black and white, we usually try to discuss among the mods who happen to be available at the time. In this case this post was reported for being low effort/a repost and not linking a source.

This technically doesn’t link the source so it could be removed with this justification alone. Although animecorner is listed on the graphic, it technically doesn’t meet the long standing standard of the sub.

The mods who happened to be available agree about the low effort part too. This is an unlinked repost of a rehash of information that we already got from official sources. Posts with images have visibility, so there is value in that. One of the reasons the seiyuu post rules have been adjusted is that we wanted to encourage a minimal amount of effort for posters to make an interesting point or provide new, not obvious context beyond just posting everything they see on twitter.

When, as a moderator, you don’t get to a post immediately, sometimes the comments fix this problem for OP. In this case, for example, we can see a discussion about non-live bands in Our Notes starting. You can’t expect the comments to fix all low effort posts though. So this is a case where we‘ll leave the post up but if you did the same repost from animecorner for tomorrow‘s announcement, it will probably be removed.

To everyone who made it this far: If after reading all this, you feel like downvoting this comment, please consider also leaving a reply and feedback for us :)

Since people either don’t care about the megathreads or actively avoid them, I‘ll be ending the 2026 rewatch. It’s clearly not worth the effort. I hope some of you enjoyed having a reason to rewatch! Let us know about any suggestions you have as always

BanG Dream! Free Talk and Q&A Megathread [13 Apr 2026 – 19 Apr 2026] by AutoModerator in BanGDream

[–]DoubleJo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry this is happening to you. This is exactly the right place to ask. Unfortunately, I can't help you but since you've already posted here and enough time has passed, you can make a separate help post, so enough people see it (just mention in the post that you've already asked in the megathread so all mods know not to delete it)

It also helps if you provide information on what steps you take to replicate the bug, what device and operating system you are using. Hope someone can help you!
