| Manga Discussion Rules In addition to the Site & Forum Guidelines, the following rules apply to the Manga Discussion board and the Manga Series sub-boards. 1. Anime/Manga specific threads should go into their respective sub-boards.
e.g. What order should I watch ____ in? Do I need to have watched ____ before ____? e.g. Which movie/season is your favorite from the ____ franchise? e.g. What chapter should I start from? e.g. Season 1 vs. Season 2, anime version vs. manga version. e.g. Any questions about characters in a specific anime/manga. Thread topics which cover several database entries and/or series of a franchise (e.g. best viewing order) should be posted in one of the sub-boards of the franchise. 2. Please refrain from creating threads that do not encourage meaningful and/or civil discussion. Examples include:
b. random "xx vs. yy"
c. discussing social media/community members or their works
d. personal storytelling, narration, ranting, and/or blog-style posts
These topics only encourage a one-way discussion where members are commenting on the poster's idea (or vice versa). e. MAL community data
e.g. Saying that series X should have a higher/lower score/count e.g. Specific reviews, moderation of data/community content/reviews, etc. Concerns about the website should be reported using the appropriate buttons or designated MyAnimeList boards. f. labeling and/or berating groups of people
g. categorizing generalized opinions as popular/unpopular
These threads are designed to assign people into black/white categories which then instigate wars between each "side". Either use the overrated/underrated thread or think carefully about what it is you want to discuss and avoid generalizing. 3. Do not create threads that ask about information that can easily be seen on user profiles or database entry pages.
4. Do not ask where to download/watch anime or where to download/read manga. 5. Please refrain from creating threads which extend beyond the discussion of anime/manga as an entertainment medium to highly-debated and/or sensitive issues liable to incite rule violations (trolling, flaming, abuse).
Unfortunately, these threads always devolve into the same final scenario: users are assigned into black/white categories where one side is "SJWs", the other side is "Nazis/rapists/etc", insults/abuse are being fired off from both sides, and trolls come in to feed the drama. Please choose more appropriate settings for these discussions than in a public forum on an entertainment website. |

| Manga Series Chapter Discussion Rules These rules are specific to chapter discussion threads and supercede the Anime/Manga Discussion Rules whenever there is a conflict.
|
|
| Rule #2 Modified; Expanded. "Simple listing" has been removed from examples of threads which do not encourage discussion, and existing examples have been expanded to include gossiping and blog-style posts. |
|
| All rules clarified with examples and modified formatting. Rule #2 Expanded. We are seeing an increase in threads intentionally or accidentally designed to fuel wars around community scores and/or audience reception of titles. These threads do not encourage civil discussion and so have been added as examples to avoid their continuous creation. |
