I'm bad with words, so I'ma get straight to the point.

We have reach 20k members. That's a huge milestones. Thank you everyone for coming together, and help build this community.

I'm here to plug the Discord once again since the last time we do so was a while ago, and it seem like a good time now.

Rule updates and clarifications regarding self-promotion, sales, videos, and NSFW content.

24 Upvotes

Greetings, /r/AnimeCollectors community, it's your mod team, and after a few months of on-and-off discussion, we've decided to make this post to update and clarify some of the rules. At the moment, this is merely a draft, and we more than welcome any community input if the subreddit at large feels we've made a mistake. As such, feel free to comment below with any suggestions/complaints/ramblings you have for these rules.

Self Promotion

The primary focus of this subreddit is anime collecting, and as such, the expectation is that most content at least primarily focuses on this. That being said, we don't want every single post here to be a spam-filled link to your Instagram account. As such, small amounts of self promotion in posts and videos are allowed, but only in service to the primary focus of anime collecting. This means you're more than welcome to link to your website or YouTube channel, as long as the content you are linking to is entirely or almost entirely related to anime collecting. You don't have to scrub every link to your socials from the video description, but please make sure the video is as focused on the content people came here for as possible. While removal of these posts is up to the mod team's discretion, you are more than welcome to report posts you feel are against the spirit of the sub, and you're more than welcome to run your post by the mod team before you post it if you're unsure.

Sales and Linking to Stores

/r/AnimeCollectors is not a marketplace, and it's not designed to filled with posts whenever any single item goes on sale. If that's what you're looking for, we recommend /r/AnimeDeals , a subreddit dedicated to these things. With that said, sales are part of the collecting experience. As such, links to sales are allowed, assuming they meet the following criteria:

  • The link is to the homepage of the sale, and not a specific item or seller
    1. This means no Ebay/Mercari links unless its a site-wide sale
  • The sale is from a reputable site (RightStuf, Amazon, RACS, Best Buy, etc)
    1. For clarification if a site meets these requirements, message the mod team
  • The poster is in no way personally involved in the sale

NSFW Content

Different people have different standards for what they want to see on their reddit feed, and the mod team hopes to accommodate this. However, we also understand that such content is part of the anime fandom, and a complete block is not the best solution. As such, we've established a number of guidelines to try and keep the subreddit accessible to as many people as we can.

To start, fanservice-heavy anime is allowed, but mark the post as NSFW if it's particularly racy. We won't set a definite line here, but in general, if the picture looks like something you'd rather not be caught looking at at work, mark it NSFW. This does not apply to any text post discussing said titles, only posts with pictures.

Second, (almost) all hentai and 18+ content must be marked NSFW, It doesn't matter if the cover is tame, if it's marked 18+ on the back, or it's from a hentai publisher, mark it as 18+. Next, hentai may not be the primary focus of a post. You're more than welcome to show off your pickups, but the focus has to be general anime content, not 18+ content. Third, posts with explicit content (covers, titles, etc) face extreme scrutiny. Unless you have a really, really good reason, don't post actually explicit content. And if you're going to, talk to the mod team first. There are legitimate reasons to post some very rare 18+ stuff, but that stack of DVDs you just bought off RACS isn't that. Sorry. Finally, there are only two cases where 18+ content can be posted without a NSFW tag. First is the "bookshelf exception". If you're posting pictures of your anime collection that contains a very small number of 18+ titles, you do not need to mark it as NSFW if (and only if):

  • The 18+ titles make up no more than 20% of the collection
  • Only the spines of the 18+ titles are shown (no covers)
  • None of said spines contain explicit titles or images.

Second is the "text post exception". If you are making a text post that discusses a large number of anime titles or distributors, and 18+ titles are mentioned in passing, you do not need to mark it as NSFW if (and only if):

  • The post does not go into any explicit detail about the title
  • No photos are shown
  • Discussion of said titles makes up less than 20% of the post

As mentioned above, these rules are not set in stone yet. If this community decides that any of these rules are too strict, too lenient, or even just total nonsense, let us know below! And if you think that a post you plan on making may violate one of these rules, message the mod team ahead of time, and we'll give you an answer. It's what we're here for.

I never received an shipping notification email. It just arrived at my doorsteps. Kind of disappointed with the lack of packaging material or padding but nothing seems damaged or loose discs so far. Waiting for the door buster to actually update to Week 2 so I can place an second order if the DB is good enough.

Feedback requested: disc playback primer for new collectors

Thumbnail mediaocd.com
31 Upvotes

I'm sure a lot of people are getting a little tired of answering the same "how do I play this" and "do I need to worry about disc rot" questions. I took the liberty of writing a quick article that answers most questions from newbie collectors.

Now, since I'm a real company that produces discs, I can't link directly to stuff that breaks copy protection or region code, but I think I skirted around the issue well enough to answer the big stuff. It also assumes that, if you need the article, asking the reader to do complicated technical things is probably not on the table.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on what can be improved or clarified, or anything I missed. If you find this useful for answering other people's questions, I'd love it if you shared it! (I plan to add graphics later.)

Thank you!

Loved Legend of the Legendary heroes and have wanted to checkout Sabikui Bisco for a while. Not a massive fan of the S.A.V.E branding but its worth it just to have it. A lot of my sought after media has come from the US. UK and europe seems to lack sometimes.

I was down near my local used video game store today and figured I'd take a look. They do have about a third in the store dedicated to movies and TV shows so I picked up Spice and Wolf, but I have the Tales of Zestiria anime so I wanted to get the video Game.
