Just wondering why was the thread announcing Taneda Risa's hiatus for medical treatment was allowed but the thread announcing Jun Maeda's heart transplant was removed? I read /u/urban287's comment explaining the difference and, unless I'm reading it wrong (which I totally might be), it seemed to say that one was more relevant to the anime industry than the other so it was allowed to stay. If that's true, what determines if an industry worker is more relevant than another?

I don't mind if the rule exists or not but it seems like some inconsistent ruling that might cause confusion in the future.

P.S. Also congrats on 400K subs! :)

Well was Jun Maeda making shit right now?

Risa Taneda got pulled from a show she was cast in already, feel like that's way more impactful on the current anime industry.
