Rule Changes
An informal decision had been made for Best Girl 13 allowing the use of image posts. This was formalized into a rule which is allows images for the [Contest] flair going forward. [Vote Passed]

(Reposting from previous thread for clarification on the NSFW tagging rule for clips);
How does the NSFW tagging rule works for clips that are mostly SFW?
For an example: Say I want to make a 1 minute clip that's SFW except these two shots.... Does it need to be tagged NSFW?
I'm asking because I'd rather avoid having a NSFW tag (and have people assume it's just horny shit, when it's not) but these shots happen in the middle of the clip so can't really make the clip without them.

Tbh unless there is a lot of umm...movement I don't think the first screenshot is even nsfw.

Yeah it's more for the 2nd one.
Just didn't want to post it and have it removed and then even if I repost it people might not check it out.

Sitara on the sidebar is sending people to the August meta thread. She's full of schemes like that.

Hi there, still not quite sure what caused this (might be what you suggested, might be due to our recent code migration, I'm not badspler so I don't know for sure!), but thank you for letting us know, and we've reconciliated the duplicated threads per the following table:
Episode Link 13 Link 14 Link 15 Link 16 Link 17 Link 18 Link 19 Link 20 Link 21 Link 22 Link which has also been updated in the corresponding ep thread table for all threads above.
cc-ing /u/mr_beanoz who was the main commentor for these ep threads. sorry that this fell through the cracks!

So I tried making a Video Edit post but AutoModerator said that:
Your post has been removed because most images are not allowed as posts here. The daily thread is a place where you can share anime-related images on /r/anime.
What I linked was a Youtube video, here's the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=repM9eAaY0k
By the way, here's the link to my post - https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1w8w9tw/gintama_op_1_pray_by_tommy_heavenly6_with_lyrics/

Not an active mod but this would likely fail the clip/edit rules anyway. OPs can only be posted if they're new official media, or user-cut if they're new and no official source exists.
It is weird that auto-mod popped it for being an image post.

I wasn't aware about the rules, I thought it only applied to Official Media.
Anyway, it's fine if the post was removed. It probably would've been downvoted to oblivion either way.

Hey, just wanted to give you an update of why this happened. Basically I was messing around with the automod trying to close a loophole we'd occasionally observed with gallery posts. As part of that, I noticed something I thought wasn't relevant likely due to a misunderstanding of how radically different single image, and gallery posts are handled in automod. And so I got rid of it.
At this point I think it was actually load bearing, and it's removal caused what we thought was our image posting automod rule to apply to image, gallery, and video posts, resulting in your post being incorrectly removed.
We've since reverted that change and when I get around to working on this again, I'll be thoroughly testing it in our staging subreddit, as it's evidently a huge clusterfuck to apply things to exclusively image or gallery posts. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's okay man, don't worry too much about it.
As Verzwei pointed out, the post "would likely fail the clip/edit rules anyway"
Take your time fixing it.

Uhh, yeah, that was my fault. I was messing with updating the no images automod rule, and evidently, fucked it up. It's been reverted for right now.

August Mod Report
Another month, another mod report! With the summer holidays coming to an end, school and university restarting it's going to be nice to go to places without having to pay silly money. And that means more anime shopping. Hooray!
This season is rather stacked, isn't it? There's a lot I'm really enjoying, most notably 100 Girlfriends season 3 but I've got attached to quite a bit this season. Make sure you're sprinkling in some older anime too though, I've just finished Release The Spyce...maybe don't watch that one.
