| THESE RULES ARE OBSOLETE, AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THESE NEW RULES Below are a list of guidelines to follow when posting in any area of this website. Site Conduct No trolling. No personal attacks against any member. Banned Content 1) You may not post any links to torrents to anime episodes, manga chapters, or other copyright infringing content. 2) You may not post links to any direct anime or manga download urls (the file url). 3) You may post links to an anime or manga download site (i.e. http://www.baka-updates.com ). 4) You may not post links to any licensed video from YouTube or any similar video streaming sites. 5) You may not post any pornographic material. Signature Restrictions 6) Total sizes of forum signatures should be no larger than 600px wide by 110px tall (and maybe one line of text). Only signatures made from MyAnimeList.net may exceed these limits by 600px width to 140px height. 7) Your entire signature must not exceed 300kb in size Forum Content 8) Club advertisements should be posted in the spam forum or in their respective anime board. A club forum may be created in the near future. 9) Do not spam outside of the spam section. 10) No blatant advertising. 11) Try to have some descriptive thread titles that represent the content of what your thread will contain. Titles like "click here please" or "hmm..." does not say anything about what your thread contains and will result in either your thread title being changed or just sent to spam. 12) Random "xxx vs. yyy" threads should generally go to spam forum. Basically "Death Note vs. Bleach" = spam, while "Haruhi Season 1 vs. Haruhi Season 2" has its own merits, so should go into one of the Haruhi discussion boards. 13) Post coherently, preferably with a point. Mindless rabble that leads to nowhere will get sent to spam. While keeping that in mind, you're free to talk about anything and everything you want. Enjoy the forums and thanks for joining! |

| Correct, the file URL. |
| lol quite a random time to put up these rules. I don't think anyone has done any of the above. spur of the moment decision, or was it cuz u were waiting to use the sticky feature? |
| better safe then sorry I guess :) |
 |
| It's so much of a hassle to give out warnings to people when they did something they probably know they shouldn't do. Let this be the first iron boot squashing the bug of misconduct. >.</ =p side note: my ending angry face of determination is getting cut off |

| General Forum/Site Guidelines The following guidelines were written so that you, the general user, can get an idea of what you can expect and what is to be expected of you during your time on the forums and other parts of MyAnimeList.net. The FAQ is also recommended reading. These have been written as general guidelines only, and are superseded by any more specific rule threads on a particular section of the site written by a staff member that say otherwise. The administrator and the forum moderators reserve the right to make exceptions to any of these rules whenever they feel it is necessary to do so to maintain proper decorum. If you find any content that does not meet these criteria, please report it using the Report links (in the case of forum posts or comments), or report them here. 1. Anything considered illegal in a US court of law will be acted upon as the law prescribes. Don’t cyber with kids. 2. Links to copyrighted, non-fair use material are not allowed 3. Do not upload any NSFM (Not safe for MAL) images to the site (including user and club images). Exception: They may be posted on the forum, BUT they must be plain links only, contained within a spoiler and appropriately labelled. 4. Trolling, abuse and/or harassment will not be tolerated. 5. Impersonation of another member of the site or function is not allowed and will result in the removal of whatever part of your profile, avatar or signature constituted it. 6. Do not spam or advertise on MAL. 7. Please search for older threads on your topic before making a new one. If an older thread exists, please post in that, but make sure your post contributes and does not break another rule. 8. Topics made outside the appropriate board will be moved and posts irrelevant to a thread topic may be deleted. 9. Topics without a clear topic title will be edited for clarity. This includes typos. 10. Stretching the forum layout with text or images is frowned upon and the offending post will be edited. Please use spoiler tags. 11. Use spoiler tags when discussing key plot elements. 12. Images placed in forum signatures must not exceed a total area of 600px width by 150px height and a total file size of 300kb. 13. Please report threads that reach 10k replies, so that a moderator can make the next version. 14. Do not reply to rule violations in the violating thread. Use the report link located on each post and the moderators will handle it. 15. All posts in the main forums must be in English. Failure to abide by these rules will result in various consequences, ranging from PM warnings to temporary to permanent bans. Recurring, willful transgressions will result in a permanent ban. If you have any questions regarding any of the aforementioned rules, feel free to message one of the forum moderators. |

| Definitions: NSFM: Content that might be considered offensive or too sexually explicit for the wide range of age groups on MAL’s userbase. This includes, but is not limited to, erotic, excessively violent, bigoted, and harmful content.
Impersonation: Intentionally posting as another user or staff member, copying their signature, avatar, or profile picture, choosing a username that may be confused for another. Spam: Content without any purpose, coherency or relevance whatsoever. Posts that have only images with no relevance to the discussion. This includes reaction images. Quote-chaining (with or without +1/i agree/yes/lol/ type comments) qualifies as spam. Advertising: Posting content with the intent to attract visitors to another location, either an external site or another location on MAL (e.g. Clubs). Trolling/harassment/abuse: Intentionally angering specific members or social groups. Spoiler: Any remark, comment, summary or description of a series that reveals one or more plot elements which will give away the outcome of an episode within the series, or the conclusion of the entire series.
