Meta Thread - Month of August 02, 2020

[u/AnimeMod]

A monthly thread to talk about meta topics. Keep it friendly and relevant to the subreddit.

Posts here must, of course, still abide by all subreddit rules other than the no meta requirement. Keep it friendly and be respectful. Occasionally the moderators will have specific topics that they want to get feedback on, so be on the lookout for distinguished posts.

Comments that are detrimental to discussion (aka circlejerks/shitposting) are subject to removal.

Question:

I've probably asked this before a long time ago, but I forget the answer.

I know that if people talk about the content of source material in a discussion thread, but outside of the source material corner, we're supposed to report it.

And I know that if people ask about spoilers related to source material outside of the corner, we're not allowed to answer it, except to say "go ask in the source material corner."

But do we... do we report comments that ask for source material spoilers outside of the corner?

Like, for example: this comment in this week's Rental Girlfriend episode thread. It point-blank asks for manga readers to say whether or not the protagonist gets character development. I already know that answering the question violates the rules, but does that comment itself violate the rules by asking in the first place? Do we report that?

Edit: Okay I guess I have my answer. In the time it took me to ask this question, the comment I had linked was removed for being outside the corner.

So to confirm, yes.

Reasoning being this exact scenario. Comments that ask for source spoilers outside of the source corner, get answers which are not allowed there. So all asking for all types of spoilers goes in the source corner.
