Rules and Guidelines for the Anime/Manga forum

All of the regular forum guidelines apply in this forum, such as:

• Do not post anything discriminating or offensive in nature, including pictures and comments
  No explanation should be needed. Do not post it. You may as well paint a big "ban me" tattoo on your forehead. In the end, the Staff is the sole judge of what is considered acceptable. If you have any doubts about the contents of something you want to post, feel free to contact a Moderator.
• No porn/nudity/graphic content
  DO NOT post links on the forums, in your signature or profile to pornographic sites or images. DO NOT post, link or make available anything that could be considered obscene, sexually explicit (partial nudity), pornographic, violent, racist, abusive, insulting, threatening, offensive, disgusting, harassing, in violation of the law or in violation of any of the individual forum rules. Any image contained in your profile which borderlines on this rule, or tries to 'get around it' through editing means will have it removed by the Forum Staff.
• Advertising outside of The Shameless Advertiser forum is forbidden
  DO NOT create advertisement threads or posts for off-site things such as any type of referral site or trading/selling DVDs, games, clubs, websites, contests, etc. (NOTE: You may advertise your personal site in your signature.) DO NOT send unsolicited private messages to our members advertising things such as any type of referral site or trading/selling DVDs, off-site clubs, contests, etc. We have The Shameless Advertiser forum for this reason. Please use it. Advertisements in all other places will be removed. Also note that the Shameless Advertiser forum contains a specific set of rules on how to advertise properly.
• Spoilers
  When posting spoilers about an anime, please put it inside the spoiler tags and provide a warning that it could spoil the plot. The code works as follows:

Posting or Linking to Anime Downloads or Scanlations.

• The posting of links to sites that allow for the download/steaming of licensed Anime (or manga) is forbidden. You may link to sites which sell fully legal copies of Anime or Manga (such as Amazon.com)

• The posting of links to "Scanlation" sites is forbidden. Scanlation is the scanning, cleaning, and translating of a licensed Manga series by a third party. Scanlation is illegal as it violates copyrights. Any links to scanlations will be removed.

• The posting of "Hentai" or any other type of adults only Anime or Manga is forbidden. This falls under the No porn/nudity/graphic content section of the Official Forum Rules and Guidelines.
