This community is for discussions related to manga.

Rules

Posts must relate to manga or similar (manhwa, etc.).
Obey the ani.social Terms of Use.
In general, keep things civil and avoid attacking other individuals.
Make sure to tag spoilers where appropriate. See here for details.
Memes should be redirected toward a different, more appropriate community and will be removed. Same with hentai.
Posting rehosted versions of official releases is not allowed. Either post the official release if it is publicly available or post a scanlated release.

Post Tags

Post tags are optional, but are recommended since some frontends can use them to categorize posts. Some recommended post tags:

[Discussion], [DISC], [Chapter] - chapter discussion threads
[Art] - Official art from a series or author, OC fan-art is also allowed
[News] - news updates about series, authors, publishers, etc.
[Rec] - Recommendation posts are posts in which you recommend a series to others. Please provide a short review and information about the series as well.
[Spoiler] for discussions with spoilery content - indicate the series that is being spoiled

Here are current recommended (but optional) tags for c/anime:

[DISC] or [Discussion] for general discussion/question posts

[WT!] Watch This! posts with a recommendation/review

[Clip] a video clip post

[News] for news and updates

[Spoiler] for discussions with spoilery content - indicate the series that is being spoiled

Here are the ones for c/manga:

[Discussion], [DISC] - chapter discussion threads

[Art] - Official art from a series or author, OC fan-art is also allowed

[News] - news updates about series, authors, publishers, etc.

[RT!] - Read This! posts are posts in which you recommend a series to others. Please provide a short review and information about the series as well.

IMO these guidelines could use some updates.

Here are my suggestions:

anime manga rationale

[Episode] [Chapter] Makes it clear the thread is about a newly-released episode / chapter

[Clip] [Art] Keep as is; small snippet regarding the anime / manga

[Recommendation] [Recommendation] For any posts asking for a recommendation, or posts that recommend an anime or manga; replaces WT! and RT!; see below for fine-grained alternatives

[Community] [Community] For any posts that start a general discussion in the community (e.g. your favorite anime / manga); alternatively: [General]

[Spoiler] [Spoiler] Keep as is

[Meta] [Meta] For posts regarding the community itself; for posts like this

If the proposed [Recommendation] has to be more fine-grained:

anime manga rationale

[Watch This!] [Read This!] Same as before; for posts recommending others to watch this anime / read this manga

[Review] [Review] For reviews of an anime / manga

[Recommendation] [Recommendation] For posts specifically asking for recommendations

The [Discussion] tag was excluded because if you think about it, every post is a discussion thread.

This proposal applied to c/anime and c/manga because there is likely a significant overlap between these two communities; would be nice to keep them aligned.

The final set of tags doesn't have to follow this proposal exactly; thought this could make a good starting point.

What are your thoughts?
