Forum Rules:
As a member of our forum we ask you to read all of the forum rules and to obey them. If you are found to be breaking these rules then you will receive a warning; keep it up and further action may be taken, i.e. you'll be banned!.
Main rules:
The main rules apply to the entire forum section of visual-novels, so we ask you to under no circumstances disobey these rules. The rules are easy to follow and you should have no problem with them.
1.A – Treat other members with respect
Other members are humans as well, so we ask you not to insult or harass other members or to use abusive behaviour towards them. Treat each member on the site with respect. If you are found to be harassing another member you will be warned or, if you have already been warned or in extreme cases, banned.
1.B – Do not use more then one account
As a member we ask you not to create a second account. There shouldn't be a reason for you to create a second account, but if you are having problems please contact a member of staff and we will help you to the best of our abilities.
The main reason we ask you not to do this is that with two accounts it is like someone having two identities. You are one person, therefore you should only have one account.
1.C - Do not use this site for advertisement
This site is not here so that you can show off your latest product and tell people to sign up today. The forum is here for conversations about visual novels and related topics, not for you to find people to make a sale.
If we find you harassing our members you will be banned.
1.D - Hacking other accounts
Do not try to hack into other user's accounts. Doing so will result in instant banning. This is an extremely important rule, and if you break it you will be banned immediately!
Posting rules:
2.A - No offensive content in your posts
Please do not post articles or images that may be offensive to people reading your post. This means no pornography, images of extreme violence or images of a disturbing nature.
If you do accidentally post an image of this nature then please remove it right away. Do not get upset if we remove your post for containing such images. We are only doing it to protect other people.
2.B - Topics have to have a reason
Do not start a topic about something if there is no reason for it. This would include random one line comments that may not even make sense. We advice you to create all your topics with the intention of contributing to it and one that is relevant to the site content..
If we find the topic unreasonable (or just plain stupid) and there is no reason for it being there, we will close down the topic.
2.C - Make your topic easy to understand
Some people may not understand what your topic is about if you don’t make the point clear. We ask that you use clear and concise language when naming your topic so people understand immediately what it is about.
If your topics are unclear they may get seen as pointless and removed, so to stop any unnecessary topic being taken away please put a little thought into the naming of the topic.
2.D - Your posts
Please have some reason to your posts; don't just write things like a simple one-line comment agreeing with what was said before.
We ask that your posts also have meaning to the topic that is being discussed and is not just a random comment.
2.E - Your images
Please do not make your images too large and cut down on heavy-image topics.
We ask that you keep the size of your images down to 600x600 pixels. For larger images please use an external link (such as www.imageshack.us) or use spoiler tags.
2.F - Rules for posting torrents
You can post links to scanlated manga only if the current issue hasn't been released in the USA/Europe yet, and we reserve the right to take the links down if something becomes available in the USA/Europe. As for anime, we won't allow posting of torrents for licensed anime, or for torrents done by groups who also sub licensed anime.But for unlicensed anime from reputable groups we will allow the posting of torrents. As soon as the anime becomes licensed, we will remove the links.
Posting of links to ripped games, DVD's or other fully licensed material is strictly prohibited.
Final comments:
Do not break any of these rules While some are more important then others, we ask that you make sure you follow each one of them.
I know that all this may be a lot to adhere to, but the most important rule we have is to enjoy yourself as much as possible whilst you're here, and to have fun!
Thank you for visiting and for taking time to read these rules!
