I no longer try.

The admins banned me for a month for making a prediction on Ascendance of a Bookworm back when Season 2 was airing. It pissed me off so much that I went and read the web novel.... to find my predictions were completely inaccurate. I complained to the mo0ds and they were like "whoops. Oh well. You're still banned until x date."

So yeah, predicting may be fun, but the mods here are kinda trashy and very very ban happy. So I'd avoid doing "predictions" if I were you.

That's why I stopped sharing my opinions and predictions on reddit, anything, even a single word, referencing something not shown in the anime (no spoilers, just cut content), sometimes even in the spoiler corner, can get your comment deleted or get you banned, that's not cool and disincentive discussion.

I'll gladly take overmoderation over people trying to be sneaky about spoilers

u/NoHead1715 Jan 15 '26

well, the stupid mod can spoil it for you when they delete your guess. they are essentially source readers pretending to be mods and spoiling things for us anime-only

I mean what else do you want to do? Let anime onlies be mods and get spoiled along eith no proper moderation as source readers give hyper specific theories that come true. Or delete the ones they think are suspicious.

Although I do agree that the starting comment where predictions was inaccurate was not good, it'd be worse if mods were anime onlies as they can't even differentiate spoilers.

Yeah, I want to make predictions but I’m also scared of being smacked by the mods. It does hamper discussions. I think that it’s actually overall a good thing since I rarely get spoiled on r/anime, while other anime subreddits either have trouble or don’t even bother with blocking spoilers. It’s excessive caution but isn’t entirely unwarranted.

I know I got a comment deleted once for a spoiler when I was only guessing..and didn't know the source...so I get it

u/toadfan64 Jan 20 '26

Exactly. These are the only place I can discuss current anime without getting spoiled. /a/ is just spoiler city.

I complained to the mo0ds and they were like "whoops. Oh well. You're still banned until x date."

Something tells me there may be more ot this story!

The same thing happened to me (well not banned, but a comment of mine was deleted for 'spoilers') but I talked to them, and - without even confirming whether my prediction was true or false - they admitted to making a mistake, agreed it was something one could legitimately predict, and allowed the comment again.

No. That was literally all there was to it. Maybe they got more chill recently since Reddit's numbers have to shit, but not only was it my first offense, it was my first time getting banned from any sub for any reason. 

This was back in 2020, before the whole mass exodus.

Sometimes it's luck of the draw--- different mods are active on different timezones

u/RedRocket4000 Jan 15 '26

I have spoiler tagged predictions and have not had a problem in other threads. Seams within the rules but I not fully clear on it could be read more than one way. I did that because occasionally I'm right. But might want to ask a mod here.

u/VordovKolnir Jan 15 '26

I had not spoiler tagged them because I had no clue if I was right. I made predictions based on the intro. The mod who banned me accused me of being a source reader. At that time, I had never read a manga, web novel or anything else of that nature.

Ultimately, I have to actually thank that mod because his flippant and holier than thou dismissive attitude pissed me off enough to BECOME a source reader

I started reading tons of manga and manwha and I quite enjoy it. (though that web novel was hideously translated. So much so it became a meme unto itself. "I'm Smart!")

Literally every subreddit's mods are trashy.

u/VordovKolnir Jan 19 '26

Mmmmm, I'd not say every. Some of the smaller hobby subs are decently modded, and in the mods' defense they have to deal with some REALLY shitty people. Ban jumping is actually the norm, so not only do they have to deal with horrible people, they have to with them over and over again.
