tl;dr - A more complete set of rules has been posted to the wiki and a link included in the sidebar.

Hi everybody! Despite my tendency to write too much, this will be a quick post, I promise. 🤞

I had been slowly working in the background on writing up a more verbose and complete version of rules for the community on the wiki. After the most recent discussion about an edge case in the rules in which the community gave some great feedback, I thought it worthwhile to make this page go live and call it out in the sidebar.

The most notable parts of the full rules that are not present in the shortened version present in the sidebar would be:

• Some clarifications on relevant content
• A longer discussion of NSFW content and some edge cases
• Rules for posts linking to legally available full episodes
• Rules/guidelines for [Clip] posts
• Rules pertaining to self-promoti

With the start of the new season and the growth of this community, I thought it worthwhile to create a guide for how episode discussion posts work. The short version is as follows:

• All episode discussion posts must be created by the community bot, @rikka@ani.social.
• To request a post be made for a recently aired episode, you can private message the bot following these instructions.
• To browse older shows' discussion threads, you can check out the wiki where they are all indexed.

Now, if you are curious, I have tried to answer questions about the bot and episode post process I have gotten in the past as well as areas that I thought might be either interesting or provide more clarity to users.

• Use this thread to ask for any shows that you would like to see discussion threads for next season.
• Wiki article for additional bot information.

In place of the normal weekly general thread this week, I wanted to provide an update about a siginificant change to the community that will be taking place soon. Namely, that episode discussion threads for Spring shows and onward will be bot-created rather than user-created as is currently the case for most Winter shows.

To that effect, everybody please welcome the newest member of the moderation team, rikka@ani.social, the bot that will take over discussion thread posting duties going forward. If you would like to see what the new discussion threads will look like, you can see one that she already posted [here](https://a

tl;dr - Please don't bring personal attacks from the recent lemmy.ml drama into this community including badmouthing instance admins. Let's just look forward and build something positive here. I plan on taking moderator action within the comments of this post if I see things that cross the (admittedly subjective) line into being too negative. Thank you everybody for your cooperation!

I had been trying to avoid bringing this topic up at all in this community as I want to just focus on building a community here centered around a mutual love and respect for a form of entertainment. However, humans being humans, when you get enough together in one space, there are going to be tensions. Over the past couple days, those tensions have come to a head over on the /c/anime community of lemmy.ml. So, I wanted to try to get in front of things in this community and do two things:

1. Clearly try to set expectations about what is or is not acceptable in the ensuing discussion
2. Provide a sing
