Here is a pretty comprehensive list of the most asked question that we get in modmail with their appropriate answers.

   

My post was immediately removed for low karma / new account?

We have a pretty strict automod filter to prevent spam from bots, to post you need 100 comment karma (earned in the sub itself) and an account older than 50 days. We do not make exceptions for this, so if you want to start posting, just comment on other people posts and wait to get the amount of karma and days you need.

   

My post was immediately removed because of the title?

“All posts must be titled anime_irl”, it’s the basic rule of the sub, any title that doesn’t have this format gets automatically removed by the automod, the filter is pretty lenient for spelling of "anime_irl" so stuff like "animeirl" and "anime irl" also work.

   

My post was removed automatically by the automod because of too many reports?

If a post gets over a certain amount of reports, it gets automatically removed, this of course it’s not perfect and it can happen that post that don’t break the rules get removed this way. If one of your post is removed like this send us a modmail with the link of the post and we will review it, but just so you know the automod has a pretty high report threshold, so if your post got removed like this it very likely breaks our rules and you should first look at them again before sending us the modmail.

   

My post was removed because it’s not “expressive/relatable”?

Rule 5 is our most subjective rule so it can be difficult to enforce it fairly, we NEVER remove a post just because only us mods think it’s not expressive or relatable We usually remove for this reason when there are also a lot of reports for that reasons, so it’s not just our opinion but multiple people. Also we are more strict with this rule with post that are meme-y or that aren't directly from an anime/manga (so for example comics/images made by online artists that aren’t an actual anime or manga even if in that style)

 

My post was removed because it’s altered content / edited content but I found it online like this?

If a picture taken from an anime or manga has any kind of changes that weren't on the original it counts as altered/edited content. This can range from meme captions (not to be confused with actual subtitles from an anime) to just changing the means of the text to alter the context of the image. Having users tags or social media tags or even badly cropped screenshots also counts under this.

 

My post was removed because of nsfw/untagged nsfw buti t didn’t contain anything nsfw?

Under this rule we not only remove stuff that could be too nsfw for the subreddit, but we may also remove images that are taken from popular hentai doujinshi or manga/anime. Of course we don't know every single Hentai work so it’s likely that some posts slip through us, especially if they don't have anything sexual.

 

My post was removed because it’s a repost but I didn’t see it / can’t find the original one?

Due to the nature of the sub (all post having the same title) it's pretty difficult for both us and the users to find specific posts. For the repost rule we mainly rely on reports from users, but there are certain arts from popular online artists that we know for sure always get reposted (you know who I’m talking about). We also usually allow some reposts if the original one was from a long time ago and the original post isn't in the top 100 of all time of the sub.

   

If anyone has any other big question, feel free to ask them under this post and I may update it in the future with new stuff.
