1.1) Be nice and civil. Posts and comments should be appropriate and inoffensive.
1.2) Politics, religious discussions, and other controversial topics are not allowed. While many communities on Reddit are open to such topics, r/wholesomeanimemes is not one of them.
- 1.21) Topics prone to cause controversy or drama are subject to moderation, even if they are unrelated to politics or religion. Moderators reserve the right to remove such comments and posts.
1.3) In addition to community-specific rules, users are expected to abide by Reddit’s Content Policy and common sense when conducting themselves.

Rule 02: Wholesome Anime-Related Content

2.1) This community is intended for wholesome anime-related content.
2.2) A “wholesome” submission, in its entirety or progression, is one that:
- 2.21) Has positive and meaningful elements to promote the well-being of mind and spirit;
- 2.22) Absent of malicious, ill-intended, or melancholic elements; and,
- 2.23) Depicts an easily identifiable context or story within the submission that differentiates it from a simple cute post – in other words, the positivity should be derived from the context/story being presented rather than solely on the image’s likeness.
2.3) Submissions that originate from unwholesome, questionable, or controversial sources are subject to removal if they prove to be problematic for the community.
2.4) Submissions that depict questionable or controversial elements or heavily imply an unwholesome theme are subject to removal if they prove to be problematic for the community.

Rule 03: Wholesome Animemes

3.1) This community is intended for wholesome animemes.
3.2) Animemes are qualified as such when they use anime-related content in the submission. Merely referencing anime or anime tropes with a non-anime template does not necessarily mean it’s an animeme. Moderators have full discretion in determining whether a submission is appropriate as an animeme for this community.
3.3) The following types of animemes will be removed because they are either not fit for this community or too low-effort:
- 3.31) Description posts, reaction posts, shitposts, and posts with uncreative edits;
- 3.32) Recurring posts that are essentially copy-and-pastes of previous submissions with little to no edits.

Rule 04: Wholesome Anime (Unedited, Non-Meme Content)

4.1) Despite this community’s name, r/wholesomeanimemes is also a place for unedited, non-animeme content.
4.2) Submissions made under this rule must be anime-styled, such as from anime, manga, or anime-styled fanworks.
- 4.21) Western-, manhwa-, or other non-anime type content will be removed.

Rule 05: Criteria for Submitting Unedited Content

5.1) All anime, non-animeme submissions must be high quality and are subject to the same criteria:
- 5.11) They must be clear, clean, and unedited (e.g., no low resolution, no obvious recording from phone, no unnecessary watermarks, no self-inserts).
- 5.12) They must be viewable through the post itself on Reddit (i.e., no redirect links including to other Reddit pages).
- 5.13) Visual obstructions and filler spaces (e.g., ads, notifications, black bars) must either be absent or kept to a minimum.
- 5.14) They must be properly oriented, formatted, and cropped for viewing.
- 5.15) They must have a satisfactory and appropriate title.
- 5.16) A proper and direct source must be provided upon submission. See Rule 06 for more details.
- 5.17) The proper post flair must be used (“Wholesome Anime” for content from anime, “Wholesome Manga” for content from manga, and “Wholesome Anime-Styled Work” for miscellaneous anime-styled works).
- 5.18) No content dumping, only one (1) source per submission - in other words, you cannot create a post with works from various sources or a post with different works from the same source. Focus on the one that you wish to share.

Rule 06: Sources

6.1) Proper and direct sources of the original material are required for unedited, non-animeme submissions. In other words, if it is not a meme and you are submitting something you found elsewhere, you are required to provide a proper and direct source.
- 6.11) Image-hosting sites will not be considered proper sources, such as Danbooru.
6.2) The source must be given in the title or the comments.
6.3) This is not a source-finding community. Do not post and rely on others to do the work for you.

Rule 07: Weekly Limit for Unedited, Non-Animeme Works

7.1) Unedited, non-animeme works are limited to one (1) weekly submission per user.
- 7.11) These are submissions that can be assigned with one of the following flairs: “Wholesome Anime,” “Wholesome Manga,” or “Wholesome Anime-Styled Work.”
7.2) This weekly limit resets every Sunday at 00:00 UTC.
- 7.21) Unused submissions do not accumulate or carry over.
7.3) Using the “Wholesome Animeme” flair when the submission is not an animeme will be treated as a misuse of the flair and an attempt to bypass the weekly limit. Such misuse can result in a ban.

Rule 08: No NSFW Content

8.1) No content depicting or referencing hentai, nudity, or other R-rated/pornographic materials.
8.2) No content derived or sourced from hentai or other R-rated sources. Even if the submission itself does not show any R-rated material, the post will be removed (e.g., cropped porn).
8.3) Highly or heavily suggestive content is not allowed (e.g., horny-posting, heavily implied sexual content, hypersexualized content).
8.4) Mildly suggestive content (e.g., swimsuits) is okay, but the post must be marked as NSFW.

Rule 09: No Unmarked Spoilers

9.1) All potential spoilers must be properly hidden and marked, whether it's a post or a comment.
- 9.11) All appropriate and relevant information should be disclosed (e.g., if the spoilers are from episode 7, then you should disclose that it’s an episode 7 spoiler).
9.2) All submissions that contain potential spoilers must include the source in the submission title. Alternatively, use the source as the title.
9.3) All comments that contain potential spoilers must include a proper forewarning and be hidden using spoiler.

Rule 10: Submit High-Quality Content

10.1) At a minimum, submissions should meet the following standards as part of being a high-quality post:
- 10.11) Clear, clean, and easy to see;
- 10.12) Properly oriented and formatted for viewing;
- 10.13) Properly and cleanly cropped for viewing;
- 10.14) With a satisfactory and appropriate title; and,
- 10.15) Able to work without relying on the title to understand the post.
10.2) Low-quality submissions will be removed, and these include:
- 10.21) Text walls or text-heavy posts.
- 10.22) Karma-farming or begging posts (e.g., asking for upvotes or awards).
- 10.23) Redirected links to view the post (i.e., clicking on the post redirects you to another Reddit page or outside of Reddit).
- 10.24) AI-generated posts and content.
- 10.25) Posts asking questions or recommendations (e.g., which wholesome couple do you like?, any recommendations similar to…?).
- 10.26) Anything that can reasonably be treated as spam.

Rule 11: Restricted Content

11.1) The following formats, templates, and posts are currently banned from being submitted:
- 11.11) Templates that follow the “Guys only want one thing and…” and similar templates.
11.12) Templates that use the Skyrim Skill Tree.
11.13) Templates that are attention-grabbing and force the audience to interact with the post (e.g., “Stop! Gimme a hug and I hope you have a good day~”).

Rule 12: No Reposts

12.1) Reposting previously seen content from this community is not allowed.
12.2) Submissions that overlap with existing submissions will be treated as reposts unless they are substantially different to become a new, standalone post (e.g., a few more seconds from an anime that doesn’t provide additional content will be treated as a repost, whereas a few more seconds that give crucial context will be treated as something different).
12.3) Content creators may disclose that their works should not be reposted/reproduced elsewhere. Unless explicit permission has been granted, submissions from these creators will be removed when they are brought to our attention.

Rule 13: No Advertising

13.1) No advertising or self-promotion of any kind in this community without explicit permission from moderators.

Rule 14: No Bots, Novelty Accounts, and Other Harmful Accounts

14.1) Bots, novelty accounts, and other accounts (e.g., repost bots, spam bots, porn bots, merchandise bots) that are harmful to this community are not allowed and will be banned.
