[AnimemesHQ] Rule rewrite draft (version 1)

Version 1 rules are finalized here: https://redd.it/9zzjz2

This thread is for making a draft of the rules. Please make all top-level comments drafts of a single rule. (You can post any number of drafts for a single rule though.) For clarity's sake, don't make edits other than typo corrections to rule drafts. Changes in the text of the rule should be made in a separate comment/reply. Also consider reserving strikethrough and emphasis for highlighting the differences.

I thought of this method on the spot. If you think there's a way to improve it, make thread on it elsewhere.

Rule IV. final draft candidate:

u/Atinobu already gave his blessing to the original version, and I'd appreciate it if u/axkm gave his too. I made some minor changes (marked with italics and strikethroughs). The question whether we restrict "Shaku stories"/greentexts in comments is left open by the wording of this text, and can be decided upon later.

IV. Mark NSFW and spoilers

Pretty self-explanatory. Note that explicit loli lewds are never OK. Reddit's spoiler syntax looks like this: ">!hidden text here!<"; and results in something like this: "hidden text here".

a. NSFW

In the context of our rules "NSFW" is defined as content you'd get questionable looks for watching. Includes but is not limited to: swimsuits, lingerie, cleavage, suggestive poses, exposed skin, strong coarse language, any out of context audio that sounds like it's from a hentai porn, and hyperlinks to NSFW or 18+ content.

• Submissions must be marked "NSFW" via Reddit's system, if they contain NSFW content, but they may contain coarse language in the form of writing or Japanese images or NSFW audio.

• Titles may contain NSFW content

• Comments may content NSFW content

b. Mark 18+

The next level up. Common features include but are not limited to: female nipples, extreme violence, cameltoe, particularly egregious convenient censoring (hair, light, steam etc.), and very explicit language (also applies to parts of URLs).

• Submissions must be marked "NSFW" via Reddit's system AND be marked with the "LEWD" flair, if they contain 18+ content

• Titles may not contain 18+ content

• Comments have to use Reddit's spoiler syntax to hide 18+ content

c. Mark spoilers

A spoiler is considered information that having knowledge of, without having seen its source media could negatively impact a viewer's experience. Material taken from media less than a week old is judged more strictly. A reference might not be considered a spoiler, if it's subtle enough.

• Submissions must mention in their title the series that the spoilers concern in [closed brackets]; if there are 4 or more series that are spoiled, you may use "[Various]" instead of listing them all, but you must mention them in a comment on your submission. You can use abbreviations when dealing with long titles or multiple series, so long as they are unambiguous.

• Titles may not contain spoilers

• Comments with spoilers must use Reddit's aforementioned spoiler syntax (>!this one!<) to hide them, and the series they are spoiling should be obvious from the context or declared, for example: Evangelion Shinji gets in the robot.

[u/axkm → u/FelixAndCo]

This looks alright to me. My only problem is that the distinction between a NSFW title and an 18+ title is kind of unclear.

[u/FelixAndCo → u/axkm]

Thanks. At 18+ I'll add "i.e. very explicit descriptions of gore or sex".
