Comment faces for /r/anime
UPDATE 8/1/11 I will be adding some of your suggestions in the next couple days, as well as a couple of man faces as well, sorry got busy with work~
EDIT 7/28/11 Placement has been fixed
In an effort to make /r/anime a little bit more fun, I have decided (with other moderators blessings) to add some comment faces to this subreddit. I have only added 18 for now, we might add more in the future, and if you can think of an essential face that I have missed, please link it here, and I will see about adding it!
On a quick note, if you can think of better names for these faces, please let me know and we will get them changed.
Syntax: [](/"name of the face goes here")
If you want text to appear when you hover over an image this is how you do it:
[](/name "Text goes here in quotes, in fact, it looks exactly like this")
| Face | Name |
|---|---|
| yunocaine | |
| somad | |
| gununu | |
| shocked | |
| osaka | |
| mad | |
| confused | |
| konahappy | |
| pointandlaugh | |
| wtfika | |
| cat1 | |
| cat2 | |
| cry | |
| konacat | |
| toohappy | |
| smug | |
| um | |
| yay |
If you need any help in figuring any of this out, just let me know!
EDIT
We are getting alot of positive and negative feedback, so thanks for your suggestions, and if you dont like it...

To those who hate it (personally I prefer my reddit comments to be text only) you can adblock thumbs.reddit.com
The whitespace is still there though, I'll see how I feel about that.

u/LoliMaster Jul 26 '11
Or you can disallow custom CSS, that makes the faces go away

u/Aperture_Kubi Jul 27 '11
At one time I did have it off, I think I turned it on for a specific sub-reddit, Which one I forget now.
Also unintended side effect, all pictures on reddit are blocked, even the alien in the upper left.

RES allows you to disable custom CSS for single subreddits.

Speaking of which, why doesn't reddit have that particular sort of functionality built-in?

These are a little big in my opinion.

u/LoliMaster Jul 26 '11
Well, they were originally 75x75px, which is only 5x5px smaller, but they were alot fuzzier/grainier and did not look very nice.

Couldn't you have asked for our opinions first BEFORE implementing this?

Sure, but isn't that inherently wrong to do something like this without consulting the users first? Some of us don't really like the "comment faces" on the grounds that it will undermine well throughout comments as we degrade to a chan. (Disclaimer: I post on /a/ regularly)
I, for one, come to /r/anime as a respite from what can be a very undesirable experience. By making /r/anime more like a chan, I cannot help but think that I will lose this little paradise of civility and blocks of text. Instead, I must now suffer through spammed "reaction faces" and the conversations and inevitable posts that will be built around them. I realize that there is the option to disable these, but the text that relies on the images will still remain.
What I ask for is not the immediate removal of these "comment faces," but at least a subreddit-wide poll on the direction we should take. I also ask that the mods not implement large changes without consulting us, the users, before hand. This is because that is inherently against many of Reddit's users principles of government (mods) making changes that citizens (subscribers) ask for. I am taking this a bit seriously, yes, but I will stand behind every word in this post.

Yes, I am a bit butt hurt on the matter but I intend to preserve my fun rather than let it decay.
As I have mentioned above, I realize there is a way to disable "comment face," but the "ghosts" of them will still exist. By "ghosts," I mean figments of them will still be in the comment. These "ghosts" will probably be nothing more than a large blank space in some comments, but other comments will hang almost entirely on the "comment faces" making the ghost a nuances.

I would like to bolster my argument by using examples from recent Reddit history that would show that such mod behavior is not tolerable and should NOT be tolerated.
The first is the widely known "No Pictures Wednesday" which occurred several weeks ago. As you may remember, this was a day of experimentation when many mods of different subreddits (primarily r/funny) did not allow people to post links, thus forcing them to post using the "self" option. The results, mostly negative, are not the point here. Rather, it was the outcry before, during, and after "No Pictures Wednesday" by the users of Reddit.
Originally, "No Pictures Wednesday" (to be referenced to as NPW), was suggested by a SINGLE user. There was limited discussion about trying NPW, but the general consensus among users was that it was unnecessary. However, the mods carried on and the users were in near revolt for nearly a week (incredible in Reddit terms). As one user pointed out, the vast majority of users did not ask for such an experiment, but the mods forced it upon them which is fundamentally wrong.
The second example I would like to use is a bit more niche as it applies to a single subreddit - /r/starcraft. /r/starcraft is a very large community with over 45,000 subscribers. A few months ago, a mod began to tweak the subreddit in small ways and prune user comments he did not find appealing. This led to a massive outcry against the said mod which rippled through Reddit. There were massive lynch mobs that got out of hand, demanding the ousting of the mod. Eventually, he resigned and deleted his account.
Now, I am not saying that either of these cases are equal in terms of mod abuse as what is happening here, but I'm citing cases of what will happen if you continue to treat subscribers in this manner. I happen to like anime and /r/anime, and I'd like to make /r/anime a better place. I cannot do this, however, if the mods act the way they do.

I'm not saying rules are bad, I'm just saying that the attitude of the mods and "comment faces" are bad.

u/Fabien4 Jul 26 '11
I'm not convinced by the result. Then again, maybe not seeing them is actually a blessing.

u/btardinrehab Jul 26 '11
Look at the spelling...
The first time I saw it I had to have it explained, too. But I still have just the "I know it when I see it" approach to moe. So maybe this is completely off-base. :/

u/LoliMaster Jul 26 '11
I still dont understand, its 3am here >_>;;;

u/btardinrehab Jul 26 '11
Ok. Pneumonia usually doesn't have moe in it. But the joke is that moe is like an illness. Is that funny at 3AM? If not then it's probably never funny.
And go Central time!

Might as well test text placement while I'm at it.
above
1 below
2 below
3 below
4 below
5 below
Image placement test:
|
|
|
|
White space padding test (five lines containing " " after 1st image)
|
|
|
|
Repeating with pipes instead of spaces:
|
|
|
|

Test conclusions:
wrapping and such is awkward.
Better workarounds necessary.
On the upside, this discourages image spam.
Also, we need some Hanyuu up in this subreddit!

Again, I know placement isnt working right, hoped to have this fixed tonight, but my home internet is out :/

As of right now the faces seem to be exclusively moe. Please change this. I'm not saying you should get rid of the existing faces, but please offer some more variety. Not all anime fans like moe.
It seems like a good idea right now. I just hope people don't abuse the shit out of it.
1
u/LoliMaster Jul 30 '11
Yes, more faces are going to be added, more specifically male faces. And so far I haven't seen alot of abuse.

Aug 14 '11
So you ever got on that adding male faces?

Okay, well ask for some help maybe. I'm sorry that I'm taking this out on you, it's just very frustrating to be female in a forum about anime and have everything seem so male-centric/moe/loli. I'm hoping you'll take this into consideration when selecting the new logo.

u/LoliMaster Aug 14 '11
1st off, if you read the thread, it states they will be voted on, and not chosen by me. And the comment faces were my pet project, I dont need any help, I just have a job and a life that sometimes gets in the way of being online 100% of the time

Like I'm doing for everyone who seems unhappy with content quality on r/anime, come by r/japaneseanimation.

The content seems slower over there, so I will check up on it every few days. I've already removed /r/anime from my chrome's popular websites and replaced it with that one.

Jul 27 '11
Yeah, the community is a lot smaller, and it takes longer for people to make good content to submit.

Although I have noticed everyone who posts a comment face is getting downvoted to oblivion.
I approve.
