First and foremost, it's only the internet.
Each time you break a rule a moderator will issue you with one infraction point.
All infraction points expire 30 days after being issued, and are forgotten.
If you manage to receive 3 points in 30 days, your account will automatically be put in suspension for one month.
A suspension involves the following:
- Modification of your user profile is disabled
- Posting is disabled
- Private messaging is disabled
Multiple suspensions are grounds for permanent banning.
Moderators may also issue "warnings". These are just friendly reminders, and do not add any infraction points to your account.
Rules 1, 4, and 9 are special: any violation of these will usually result in a permanent ban, since they cause considerable harm to the community.
Conduct:
- 1. Do not spam. Spamming is posting anything that is completely irrelevant to the thread or subforum.
- 2. Do not flame or attack other members. Racist or overly hostile language is not OK.
- 3. Respect others. Every member is equal. Treat everyone with respect and expect to be treated with respect.
- 4. No multiple accounts. We will check your IP if we suspect anything and it will usually lead to a permanent ban on an IP or ISP level.
- 5. Do not discuss or allude to real-life illegal activities. Doing so puts both the members and the forum at risk.
- 6. If in doubt, ask a moderator. Use the private-message system.
Content:- 7. Please post intelligent, legible messages. This means post in English to the best of your ability. This includes strange fonts or excessivly distracting colours.
- 8. Keep on-topic. Create threads in the correct section. It is a huge burden on the staff team moving threads members have created in the wrong section.
- 9. Do not post child pornography. We treat child nudity as pornography.
- 10. Do not double post. i.e. do not post consecutive messages in the same thread.
- 11. Do not cross-post. Cross-posting is posting the same message in multiple threads or the same thread in multiple subforums.
- 12. Do not post bestiality. Cartoon/hentai bestiality is OK.
- 13. Do not post non-Japanese material. No material licensed by or owned by a company outside Japan.
- 14. For torrent postings, attach the .torrent file(s) to the first post in the thread. Refrain from using external torrent-file hosts.
- 15. For new torrent or download threads, always provide a description or image preview.
- 17. Do not post referral/affiliate links. This includes in your signature.
- 19. Do not disobey the moderators. They are there for the benefit of you and this forum.
I'll always do my best to help out a fellow member!
