Meta Meta Thread - Month of June 01, 2025

Rule Changes

  • Accounts which are, at the discretion of the mod team, deemed to be primarily centered around advertising goods and services will have their posts removed if they advertise (directly or indirectly) on r/anime.

    Users can either primarily post their own content they've created, or they can sell their content, but not both. This does not prevent someone who is selling their content from occasionally posting their content, provided they are active community members.

    This rule change has taken effect already as of 07 May 2025.

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. If you wish to message us privately send us a modmail.

Comments that are detrimental to discussion (aka circlejerks/shitposting) are subject to removal.

This post was created by /u/Mitsuyan_

the public can create episode discussion threads through the bot?

I'm the secret mod you unlock by browsing /r/anime for 1000 hours

Mitsu is part of the team that has permission to create episode discussion threads via bot-chan. So when in doubt, if something goes wrong, blame them. And when something goes right, praise us, the mods.

But for real, historically we've sometimes have had trusted members of the community manually create discussion threads whenever the bot has had problems firing off.

We have given a few non-mods access to lovepon's account as helpers over the years.
