Expanded Shoutbox Rules

[CloverLeaf]

In case that you are too lazy to read the whole page of the RULES, here's a simplified and summarized version of the rules in the Shoutbox.

For the non-staff members, if you want to help, you can bookmark this link in your browser and tell the violators to read this thread instead of insulting, bashing or badmouthing them that will just make the things worse. When the non-staff members are doing the reprimanding, it always go overboard. As much as possible, please leave the warning and reprimanding to the staff.

When there's a heated discussion in the Shoutbox, you can help by changing the topic instead of adding fuel to the fire by retaliating to the troll. Some random topics may help.

Who wants coffee?
Pizza, anyone?

SHOUTBOX RULES

1.) Please speak in English.
Not everyone can understand your native language so please be considerate and please speak using the universal language. Persistent non-English speakers will be banned. Only honorifics and common Japanese greets are allowed in the Shoutbox. Using hiragana/katakana/kanji and sentences in romaji are strictly prohibited.

2.) No Spamming.
Do not post too much emoticons, repetitive messages or other senseless things in the SB. Do not post nonsense stuff like:

sdsdsadasddsdfsdfsadsdasfasdsafsadasdsa

Four consecutive shouts is also considered as spam.

3.) Respect everyone.
If you're in the Shoutbox just to pick up a fight by attacking and insulting someone, you'll be instantly banned.

4.) No topics about races, religion or politics in the Shoutbox.
We all have different perspectives when it comes to those topics so we suggest that those topics should be avoided for it will just result to not so nice things.

5.) Debates are not allowed on the shoutbox.

6.) Keep your topics clean. No asking or talking about explicit subject like porn or hentai.
Don't even mention it even if you're not going to guide the topic to that direction.

7.) No using of profanities in any form or any language.
Doing so will result to a ban.

8.) No posting of e-mail addresses, phone numbers and other personal stuffs.
For security reasons, please send your e-mail addresses via private message. Who knows, there may be some e-mail spammers or stalkers lurking around.

9.) No posting of external links.
Only the links from this site are allowed to be posted in the SB. Renaming OS links and posting it in the Shoutbox is also not allowed.

10.) Absolutely no whining or complaining about slow streaming, broken videos, or any issue that cannot be immediately resolved on the Shoutbox. Please post it on the appropriate thread or use the report video function.

11.) No posting of anime or manga spoilers.
Posting a question which is answerable by a spoiler isn't allowed as well. Google is there to answer your questions.

12.) Respect the Moderators and their decision.

13.) No advertising of other sites or products.

14.) No excessive role playing is allowed in the shout box.
Constant role playing inhibits our non-role playing users from contributing to constructive conversation and creates a noninclusive environment which hinders our members from even beginning a conversation or asking questions. While it is acceptable to, on occasion, use an emoting phrase to get a point across or to play jokingly; constant back and forth is against our rules. If you have trouble understanding the difference, then please refrain from the use of role playing in general.

If the streaming is slow, it's probably because of the user's internet connection. If there's a server or network problem, it will be announced right away. There are people here who are blaming the site for the slow streaming which is very annoying. Some are even spamming, cursing and cussing in the SB because of it. Who wouldn't be annoyed seeing the members panicking, copy pasting the error codes when the admins are fixing some things in the SB and repetitive whining and complaining in the SB? Showing some respect by being patient and not complaining about OS being slow is the best thing the members can do if they can't contribute anything to the site.

ok, let me explain it for u ...

profanity - an act that shows disrespect for a religion
or religious beliefs

profanities - are swear words

basically, it's swearing ...

no need example, it's simply understandable ...

thanks for this post i know to many people on this site crying about OS being slow when its their connection

[Bunislipper]

I have heard some people mention that the new Rule in the Shoutbox is that Facebook and Youtube links are allowed however links to other anime streaming sites etc. are not allowed. Can someone please confirm this? I am a bit confused as Rule #9 remains the same with the concept of no external links what so ever being allowed in the Shoutbox.

Thank to for those that reply.

Managing a site like this can be very difficult work. Without even needing to reference the rules, its important to know how much the staff here actually does for the community. By default, that should earn our respect for them enough to know that we shouldn't burden them even more by undermining simple rules made to protect us as well as them.

Whenever I see anyone, especially staff, I always try to show my kindness to them so that they do not feel like they are doing thankless work. Too many times throughout the 2 years I have been here have I quietly witnessed a lot of members giving staff a very difficult time. The moderators, uploaders, & administrators want to enjoy being here, too. Following these rules is supplementary of that - but making them feel welcomed & thanked is even better. =)
