SITE USAGE
Posting and Messaging

Do not leave any comments that are obscene, racist, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violate any laws.
Multi-posting is not allowed.

Any type of content describing or showing the death and murder of a human being is ground for account deletion unless it is posted as news and in good faith.
It is absolutely unacceptable to use any racist, sexist, bigoted, or otherwise snide remarks whether in a friendly manner, jest, or outright insult and will be met with an infraction lasting 15 days (and consequently a 1-day ban, or longer if infraction a previous exist).

Any type of advertising and SPAM in comments, avatars, usernames, posts, visitors, and private messages is not welcome.
If you are interested in cooperating with the JJK Forum as another website, forum, or Discord please contact the administrators via discord.

Any type of outside links in visitor or private messages as well as posts, which contain illegal games/movies, or sites with grotesque, violent, and/or racist content are not allowed, save for what is clearly news. Other, permittable sites in question and links have to be virus-free.
External images are forbidden if they contain a direct reference or link to another anime or manga community website.

Behavior
When you engage in discussion with the community please stick to these rules:

Respect the people that you communicate with, don't post tons of meaningless messages, and keep the discussion normal even if you are provoked into some conflict, it is better to leave it to the Moderators.
Our Forums allow you to report posts, comments, images, and private messages that violate the rules of the website. But please use this function wisely. The amount of reports you produce does not make you stand out as staff material.
Use common sense. Common sense goes a long way. Just because there isn't a "no smoking allowed" sign somewhere doesn't mean it's okay to smoke. Or bully.
Ask artists for permission to use their art. Using another member's art without permission will earn you a strike.
Do not give unsolicited opinions/critiques if no one asked you for them.
If you can't take accountability for actions, you may be suspended, muted for days because people like you are exasperating.
I do not need to see anyone, ESPECIALLY children doing ANYTHING sexual during conversations. I do not care if you meant it as a joke. Take it somewhere else because you make us adults look bad. I will not condone it at all. If you violate this rule you will be suspended for a week. If it continues I will just ban you.

In General

We also have nothing against the LGBT community and any abuses based on the sexual preferences of others will be classified as common abuse and punished by the Moderators.
If you for some reason skipped these rules you will still be punished for violating them. Our Staff is really busy with various tasks and real-life, so they might have no time for understanding your unique "I was unaware of the rules" reason.
If you contact a moderator don't expect them to respond immediately. Moderators, Super Moderators, and Administrators are very busy individuals, and it might take a while for them to respond to your message.
If you're going to post an advertisement, at least have respect for your work and the wariness of clicking on vague links. If there is no context to your ad, I will delete the topic without notifying you.

YOUR ACCOUNT

Creating multiple accounts is strictly forbidden! (Unless given permission, and trust me, I will know.)
If you try to log in using a proxy and find yourself banned, drop that proxy and use another. If you create an alternate account using a proxy, the proxy will be permanently banned, and if we know the original account name, that will be banned for no less than 1 month.

If there is more than one person using the same network (router) and you all want separate accounts, contact the admins and explain your issue. You are free to list your concerns on our website or through our public discord channel.

The primary account will be held liable for anything the secondary accounts do. If the second account joins and immediately starts to break rules you will more than likely both be infracted and/or banned.
Do not share your password for your OPB Forums account with anyone else.

There should be no reason people are logging into other people's accounts. Infractions will be given to both accounts involved.

Please use good judgment when choosing your username and later on your avatar/signature. Anything obscene, racist, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violate any laws will be removed by the Moderators.
Members are only allowed to change their names after one month, so pick your name wisely.

The following types of accounts will periodically be deleted:

Accounts that registered but haven't been activate within a month
Permanently banned accounts that haven't appealed their ban within a month
Activated accounts with 0 posts and no activity for more than 2 months
Accounts with incorrect e-mail addresses regardless of activity, if no appeal has been made within 1 month of being notified about their incorrect e-mail address

Your Profile

Your profile is your personal space, but nevertheless, the overall rules concerning racism, hatred, obscenity, personal abuse, and violence still apply.
It is forbidden to post real violence, pornographic materials, or any kind of offensive or religious propaganda. Any content violating these rules will be removed or edited.

You are allowed to use curse words, but if the content is maliciously directed to another user or overly harmful in general it will be removed.
The look and feel of your profile are how you represent yourself to the members and staff, make sure it presents you in a good light.
Your signature, avatar, and profile pictures as well as your profile intro are subject to the same rules as posts, so, if something is not acceptable to post, then it is not acceptable for the listed items either.

In the case of non-compliance, a moderator will ask you to change or delete your inappropriate image: Please do so immediately. Failure to do so will result in your material being deleted. A repeat offense usually results in an infraction and ultimately a ban.
Deleting Visitor Messages posted on your profile by a Staff member is not allowed under any circumstance.
