Community rules
A welcoming place for anime fans
Membership is for people aged 16 and older. Discuss ideas without attacking people. Harassment, hate speech, threats, stalking, doxxing, scams, impersonation, and spam are prohibited. Respect boundaries, blocks, and moderator instructions.
Keep the community suitable for older teens
Do not post pornography, sexually explicit images, sexual solicitation, sexual content involving minors, or graphic real-world violence. Do not use private messages to evade these rules. Fictional or animated presentation does not excuse prohibited sexual content involving minors.
Anime can include mature themes. Discuss those themes thoughtfully without reproducing explicit material. Do not encourage self-harm, abuse, or dangerous acts.
Spoilers and discussion context
Use available spoiler controls and clear series/episode labels. Keep spoilers out of titles, public previews, avatars, and unhidden images. Stay on topic and choose the appropriate space.
Creative work and sources
Share content you own or have permission to use. Credit creators and cite sources. Do not post pirated streams, downloads, full manga scans, or instructions intended to facilitate infringement. Identify substantially AI-generated creative contributions when presenting them as your work; do not misrepresent generated images as official promotional artwork.
Privacy and messages
Do not publish private messages or another person's identifying information without an appropriate basis. Do not pressure people for personal details or off-site contact. Profiles and messages are not a substitute for safeguarding personal information.
Reports, moderation, and appeals
Use the report controls for problematic content. Use Contact for account issues, sensitive reports, copyright concerns, or moderation appeals. Provide relevant URLs and context without reposting harmful material publicly. The support service is not an emergency channel.
Moderators may hide or remove content, close discussions, restrict features, or suspend accounts based on severity and context. We can act immediately for serious abuse; an appeal can be reviewed through a private ticket. Do not retaliate against reporters or evade restrictions through another account.
