| I noticed that one of my interest stacks was deleted without any notice whatsoever. Not just unlisted, deleted. I probably worked multiple hours on it and it's just gone and I wasn't even notified about it. I can already imagine which mod it was so might any of the admins explain to me how a single person can keep abusing his powers and make multiple features (reviews, recommendations and interest stacks) of your website unusable for the majority of the userbase for months in a row without any intervention? As you probably know this isn't the first time this has happened to me and other users and it also isn't the first time I reported it so what exactly is your plan here? Did you create those features just so abusive mods and excessive guidelines can render them unusable? MAL pretty much only consists of user generated content so what do you think will happen when you drive away all the users who generate content? Think long and hard about how your guidelines, choice of mods and forced updates affect your community and if this "new generation" of users you try so hard to attract will really save this website from the inevitable fate it's heading right now. This isn't just about one of my stacks getting deleted but about a systematical problem that MAL has built up for years that affects everyone. If this doesn't get investigated and resolved properly this time I'm gonna leave MAL for good. @Kineta @tingy @firefractal @Vindstot |

| Would be sad to see you leave But when almost everything I had of recommendations etc got deleted as well, probably by that same nod, I had the same thought. I was planning on one day translate my reviews and post all of them on Mal but I'll no longer do that just to see a mod delete all of thrm |

| @firefractal thanks for resolving the issue, the stack has been restored. Still it doesn't solve the problems I was talking about. You are just patching the holes in a sinking ship here. Why don't you sit down together with some of your more active and sane users and work out some new ideas, guidelines and rules that actually benefit the website instead of brewing your own soup that nobody wants? I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people here who are willing to help you if you are open for it. |

| @ateks As you've stated, user-generated content like stacks, reviews, and recommendations are an important part of MAL and its community. The moderation team recognizes this fact and we do our utmost to ensure that MAL members have the ability to express themselves with their content, while also contributing to the MAL community as a whole. The stack guidelines in particular were created with the goal of allowing as much flexibility in content as possible without hindering utility, all within the confines of the current implementation of the stacks feature. I understand that there may be some frustration with the guidelines because they prevent certain types of stacks from being made "Public," but as I stated earlier, the goal of the guidelines is to balance expression with utility. We aim to enforce these guidelines with as much consideration as possible, and make adjustments to our approach when necessary. If you have any concrete suggestions on how we could improve our guidelines, please shoot me a message and I'd be happy to discuss them further. |

firefractal said: If you have any concrete suggestions on how we could improve our guidelines, please shoot me a message and I'd be happy to discuss them further. As I've already suggested before, and this counts for everything including the forum, reviews and interest stacks; content should only ever be modified or removed if it's either illegal, insulting, or spam. Most of the content on MAL is already self-moderating and doesn't need additional moderation. Low quality threads don't get many replies and disappear fast, low quality reviews don't get a lot of votes and have few visibility, low quality interest stacks don't get many restacks and have few visibility. This could be enhanced by additional measures like an offtopic/spam board where low quality threads get moved instead of locked or deleted, a properly working upvote/downvote function for reviews so downvoted reviews don't end up at the top, and a proper search function for interest stacks so you can filter them by language, genre, personal top lists etc. Most of the work mods have here is self-inflicted and not needed. MAL doesn't magically get better just because you lock every thread and unlist ever interest stack. Let people do what they like and want and only intervene if it's really necessary. |

| @Frostwork talk to firefractal he's the only sane person in that mod team. But I fully get your point why you don't bother anymore. I also mostly stopped working on my stacks and only add things once in a blue moon when I really got nothing better to do. Why would anyone want to create free content for this website if it gets deleted all the time. I made one of the most restacked stacks on MAL and it got unlisted multiple times so I guess they don't care what users really want and just enforce their pretentious guidelines. It could be a much better stack if I actually finished it but I lost all motivation to do so. |

To be fair it's hard to tell what is right and what is wrong because every mod decides differently despite already having super strict guidelines. Technically half of my stacks also partly violate the guidelines if you lay them out exactly as they are written but it's simply not possible to create anything remotely useful if you lay them out like that which is why they don't make sense in their current state and mods will always find something to complain about depending on who you ask. |

firefractal said: A bit off topic to the original point of the thread (it can be taken elsewhere if you prefer), but this gave me an idea; instead of deleting recommendations/reviews, could there be an option to set them to unlisted? I'm not a huge fan of unlisting in the first place, but at least this would save content being deleted and allow people a chance to have a discussion with the moderators afterward (of course, users should always receive notification if something is unlisted for transparency). I was pretty discouraged when half of my recommendations were deleted for reasons I thought were trivial, but to honest, I would have been ok if they were just set to only be visible on my profile because they're ultimately more for me to help remember connections between different things I saw.@ateks As you've stated, user-generated content like stacks, reviews, and recommendations are an important part of MAL and its community.

| I'm also somewhat opposed to deleting stacks and recommendations. Just unlist/hide them or have them only be viewable in user profiles. firefractal said: If you have any concrete suggestions on how we could improve our guidelines, please shoot me a message and I'd be happy to discuss them further. Maybe just diligently check the Support and Suggestions boards. No real need for us to send PMs. Those boards have plenty of suggestions, ideas and critique already which are repeatedly brought up every now and then. There are also suggestions and ideas in other boards and subboards such as the Updates & Announcements, Anime DB, Character & People DB and Manga DB. Some users even compose essays. But only get caw, caw, kru, kru, kru, chirp, chirp... 🦗 --- I'm just gonna quote myself again (from: [Update May 24] Interest Stacks: New feature for custom theme lists and challenges): IridescentJaune said: According to the Interest Stack Guidelines, we should refrain from "including e-mail addresses and other URLs". I see some stacks with YouTube links. So is it alright to add YouTube links after all? Only links from official YouTube channels similar to when submitting CMs, PVs and trailers to the anime DB? How about Spotify links for stacks about anime music? Are those allowed? I suppose Wikipedia, ANN and AniDB are allowed as sources or citation since most anime and manga pages on MAL have them. And some of MAL’s official stacks also cite Wikipedia as a primary source but no direct link to Wiki articles are included; I think it would be nice if those citations link to the Wiki article cited. But how about links to official reading sites like BOOK☆WALKER, ComicWalker, Crunchyroll, INKR, Renta!, futekiya, Lezhin, Azuki, Manga Club, MangaPlaza and so on? MAL has streaming links on the sidebar of anime pages but none for manga pages; AniList has streaming links available on both their anime and manga pages. Will interest stacks with such links be unlisted? I'm thinking of adding official links to reading order guides I plan on making but I'm not sure if such links will be allowed. It'd be nice if MAL also has streaming links on manga pages. Anime-Planet’s ‘Custom Lists’ have a comment section. Is it possible for MAL’s ‘Interest Stacks’ to have one as well? Maybe it can be similar to how the comment section is like for mangaka and seiyuu. It’d also be nice to see who restacked your stack. You’d be able to find more stacks similar to your taste that way (of course, you’d have to check their user profile). The sort feature (Recently Added, Author Update, Most Restacked, Alphabetical) is available on the 'Interest Stacks' tabs on anime and manga pages. How about adding that to the 'Interest Stacks' main page as well? Could the sort feature and 'My Interest Stacks' button available on users' interest stack pages be added on the ‘Interest Stacks’ main page as well? It'll make navigating interest stacks a lot easier if those features are carried over to the interest stacks main page. For example, a user wouldn't need to go back to their profiles to check their interest stacks page/restacks. Yes, there's a link to a user's interest stacks page found on the hamburger or menu button but having the 'My Interest Stacks' button beside the '+ New Interest Stack' button on the interest stacks main page just like on our profiles is much nicer. Also, I wish there are separate tabs for anime and manga stacks on the ‘Interest Stacks’ tab on our profiles similar to the ‘Interest Stacks’ main page. That would make finding and sorting stacks easier. I also want that feature for the ‘Recommendations’ tab (something like All, Anime, Manga). And a ‘Completed’ tab for stacks a user already completely watched/read would be an awesome addition. I was also annoyed by the placement of the ‘Interest Stacks’ button on the ‘Community’ tab at first. I was used to seeing the ‘Forum’ button first. Now, I don’t mind it that much but having the ‘Forum’ button back on top would be good. But what’s still bugging me is the ‘My Interest Stacks’ page. The stacks and its contents are not clickable when making a draft. If I have to check something on a certain anime or manga page I’d have to open another tab and search for the anime or manga. So many steps. Please make the titles on drafts clickable so we don’t have to click ‘Go to Restacks’ again and be redirected to the ‘Interest Stacks’ tab on our profiles. Please make the spoiler button applicable to all pages even when moving to the next page. Having to click it again and again is kinda annoying. I wish there’s also a search bar on the ‘Interest Stacks’ tab on our profiles so we could easily find something from the ones we already restacked. Or have a pin or sticky option for a stack (or two) a user would want to show on the very top of their stacks page. Regarding badges for challenges on our profiles, they’re currently not clickable nor do they direct to the challenge pages. It'd be nice if badges direct to their specific challenge page/thread or interest stack and show labels when you hover over them. Maybe even include all challenge stacks on the ‘Challenges’ tab and just gray out the old ones, separate into ’New/Current Challenges’ and ‘Past/[Closed] Challenges’. Sometimes you just want to see which challenges you participated in. Right now, it only shows the current challenges. You’ll have to go to ‘MyAnimeList Stacks’ tab/button to search for past challenges (I know the total of challenges now is just 4 but those will be harder to find later on as there’ll be new challenges and more stacks made). Links to forum threads about the challenges by the MAL team should also be linked on a specific challenge stack page and a photo of its corresponding badge should be shown as well.
Oh, and tags please. Maybe even a ‘More’ feature for personal comments or ‘Notes’ similar to the one on ‘About Me’ so that users can add notes that they can only see for the stacks made by others that they restacked since there’s no way another user can edit or reorder a stack made by someone else to their liking. I think the emoji reaction buttons implemented in the new review system is better suited to interest stacks. Maybe add a link to a user’s ‘Interest Stack’ page after someone restacks their stack similar to the ‘More reviews by [username]’ when liking a review. Also, sometimes cover images have different dimensions. Hopefully, more cover images will get submitted and approved so we can swap to the cover we prefer for our stacks. Some of the official stacks by MAL have more than 50 items. How about allowing users to add more than 50 items on their stacks too? Maybe offer that to MAL Supporters? One more thing, the official threads by the MAL team regarding interest stacks should also be linked on the sidebar of the ‘Interest Stacks’ main page. So users wouldn’t have to search the forums or ask assistance from others via DMs. Threads get buried in the forums. And not everyone checks the ones with ’sticky’.
Anyhow, the “BBCode/Markup on descriptions” feature is something I’m looking forward to. The ‘Interest Stacks’ is by far my favorite update on the site. IridescentJaune said: I know we can change the covers for each entry by clicking 'Swap' and reorder each entry for the preview image, the first three entries will be included in the preview image. But I wish there's an option to choose the preview image from all the entries included in a stack instead of just reordering them every time. *Those with strikethrough have been implemented already. I also posted all these here: Feb~Mar Challenges & About Me Themes Are Here! 🍀🍫 but no one responded since they're also inside a spoiler. Some threads related to interest stacks (There are way more. These are just some in my watched topics.): Interest stacks sorting exploit No Entry Minimum for Draft/Unlisted Stacks adding to interest stack search by author and artist Something about Interest Stacks that you might not know Add in the ability to comment on interest stacks and also add an infinite number of anime and manga on there as well Let us include Anime and Manga in the same interest stack Notes for stacks Create public Interest Stacks Swap features in interest stacks only allows 3 images on some entries Interest Stacks: Sort by popularity (restacks) Interest Stacks: ongoing manga or not full scanlated Comments on Interest Stacks FAQ on Interest Stack Page Is there a way for me to Swap photos in my favorites the Same way I can swap photos for interest stacks? Interest Stacks Searching for interest stack Interest Stack's Restacking is Badly Explained and the Button is Not Labeled Figure out badges and challenge interest stacks P.S. Don't focus too much on the titles, read the comments by users. --- It's getting harder to look for my old posts as the 'Watched Topics' limit is too low at 600 topics! And how could we even PM when there's also an inbox limit (1,000). I wanna keep receipts of my approved submissions. If we can view our contributions page (https://myanimelist.net/profile/USERNAME/contributions) then I'd be fine deleting stuff in my inbox. It's also getting difficult to respond to PMs from other users because of the limit. Related topics: Increase the maximum number of watched topics Watched limit How to see all your forum posts Forum Index Redesign and Notifications for Forum Quotes/Mentions! PM: Increase the inbox/sent messages limit [Approved] Browsing and Locking Inbox Messages Bookmarking post I'm not getting notified on my watched topics. (More thread links inside.) P.P.S. I'm getting tired of repeating my suggestions and composing paragraphs or essays so I just pasted links to threads I already commented on or follow here. If anyone wants to bump some of the threads then feel free. Hehe. |

| Glad to see that the admins @Kineta and @tingy had enough time to answer on this matter. Funny to hear how the responsible mod said he wasn’t sure if stacks about dubs are allowed or not so he just deleted it lol. At the same time there exist dozen other stacks about dubs which have been online for much longer and are worse than mine quality wise. Why was especially my stack targeted here? Do I get mass reported by some clowns or do the review mods just genuinely hate me? Can’t imagine this is always just a coincidence and even if it was why did it get deleted instantly and not just unlisted anyway. Well I don’t think I will be getting any reply here anyway so I take consequences on what I said in my initial post. |

| This reminds me of how there is much discourse about what should be allowed on fanfiction website archiveofourown. Some people think that some things should be censored on the website, but the rule is and always will be anything goes, because if you're allowed to ban one thing, you will soon be allowed to ban whatever you want. MAL not allowing people to be "controversial" is censorship and censorship is killing the site. I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death you right to say it---no matter how disgusting, uncomfortable, or "controversial" I find it so long as nobody is in any actual danger. AO3 is flourishing because it allows no censorship, because censorship killed fanfiction.net. And it's killing MAL too. Nobody even wants to he here anymore. |

hacker09 said: Sounds like his name should be uniform_ instead of gaussian_gaussian_ will soon make MAL an empty blank page hahahah I don't know what ateks's issue was, but suppose a famous Youtuber makes a list of "This is my definitive top 10 for newbs". Given that communities are human-centric, that there's a face behind every review and stack that people come to trust, I feel like such a stack would probably be more useful than many of the stacks that follow the rules for being not too personal. In addition, I hope everyone is aware that it is easy to reframe any stack by renaming it to some arbitrary grouping that's less useful for people to search for. Also, highly technical groupings that are not personal at all (e.g. "anime with shy imoutos as a main plot device") would probably be considered as "personal" by some mods just because the rigor of the stack author exceeds the tolerance or imagination of the mod, so it is deemed subjective or whatnot. To be honest, when I started making stacks when the feature first came out, the vague language of the rules intimidated me. I became unsure what I was allowed to make public, what counted as a spoiler, etc., and decided that it was only a matter of time before a mod goes rogue and deletes something that takes hours making. It's happened before with my reviews, there's no reason to believe it wouldn't happen with stacks. So I stopped. The best solution to all these problems is to stop drawing invisible divides in the sand, and I doubt any member would be inconvenienced by just having more stacks. If that is a concern, then there could be organizational tags such as "personal", "technical", etc. |

ateks said: low quality interest stacks don't get many restacks and have few visibility Doesn't seems like the number of restacks affects visibility in any way. On stacks page all I can see from user-generated content is "Recent Interest Stacks" where 9 stacks out of 10 are breaking guidelines, trolling, spam or "I like this / You must watch that / the BEST anime" and other types of garbage. Even if I use the search feature it is almost impossible to find anything in this dumpster because the results are sorted in incomprehensible way. For example, if I search the word "Summer" right now then the first result would be Crunchyroll Summer 2023 हिन्दी (Hindi) SimulDub with 1 restack, while A Summer Out of This World (9.9k) and Midsummer Mermaids (5.2k) will be on page 2. How and why? So, the only usable thing left there is MyAnimeList Interest Stacks that was created and pinned by admins themselves. |

Or you use this top list which had to be made by an user because MAL is too dumb to do that. |

| Had the same issue with the same mod. Glad to know I’m not alone. It’s like they want to remove all life from this site. The users are the people who make the forums. Recommendations, interest stacks, reviews and more should not be subject to such petty removal reasons. I agree that the community should be the final arbiter unless something is illegal or violates the terms of service of the website. An upvote system would be nice kind of like what Reddit has. |

| I'm gonna quote this before it gets deleted (as I've seen this mod delete their posts several times in multiple threads). Not letting this one slip... ACasualViewer said: We want interests to be narrowly defined, we also mostly would prefer not seeing franchise stacks as that information can be easily researched using the database as is. (Thread: time to increase the maximum number of entries in a stack?) I hope they don't delete watch order and reading guides! Come on! Some people put effort in creating those. Not everything is in the DB. Maybe check the article stacks first before unlisting or deleting. Watch order and reading order stacks that are article stacks are much better than other random stacks out there... It feels like they're gonna purge some guides, eh? Now, I hate that! 😡 People make those stacks to make watching and reading more convenient. Would you want to keep searching the DB every time you wanna complete a franchise? Those stacks are helpful. Well, maybe if MAL has something similar to Chiaki on their site then users wouldn't find the need to make such stacks. |

| Here's another one: Please delete all my reviews Editing users' reviews? Uhm, I don't think that's right... Why not just advice or ask users to edit their own reviews instead of acting as proofreaders and editors? Some might just want their reviews taken down than be heavily edited by someone else. Perhaps there could be something like the 'Unlisted' option similar to interest stacks for reviews and recommendations. So users can still view their "unlisted" reviews and recs on their profile page. |

So a stack I've just made yesterday got deleted for no apparent reason. I'm currently working on a set of stacks and couldn't find one. I checked and it's gone: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/64166 Come on! It's not even a public stack! I remember choosing unlisted since I'm still working on the stacks. If I ever set it accidentally to public then that wasn't intentional but I swear I set it to unlisted since the part 1 is unlisted. Why would I set part 2 as public and part 1 as unlisted, anyway? I'm not even sure if I will set the stacks later to public but for now they're supposed to be unlisted. It's so annoying that I would've to redo the part 2. Plus, now the stack ID would be different. I got no warning, notification or message whatsoever. Nope, it's not me who deleted it. Why would I when I'm working on it? I have yet to archive it on the Wayback Machine too. I'm not sure what really happened. Anyways, here's another complaint (although a different one): https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2209596 --- Edit: Ugh! Never mind! It's set to draft. 🤦 Pasting the URL on my browser gave me a 404 error and I also couldn't find it on my 'Recently Added' stacks on my profile. I had to go to 'My Interest Stacks'. From there, I saw it was set to draft. Okay, my bad... Honestly, there should be a better way to manage our stacks. Like have separate tabs for anime and manga stacks as well as the ability to set things to private and not just drafts and unlisted. Sorry for the panic. My initial thought was my stack got deleted after reading these threads: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2209596 https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2201403 |

Honestly, there should be a better way to manage our stacks. Like have separate tabs for anime and manga stacks as well as the ability to set things to private and not just drafts and unlisted.
Sorry for the panic. My initial thought was my stack got deleted after reading these threads:
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2209596
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2201403
| I still haven't been able to get any explanation on my stacks being deleted. I've sent messages to a few different staff members, but haven't received a single response. |
