Don’t Spoil

• Spoiler tags or warnings won't protect you from being banned.

• Fake or joke spoilers can still be perceived as a spoiler if not obvious enough.

• Carefully word your theories so they may not be perceived as a potential spoiler. Confirming or denying theories is also considered a spoiler.

• Spoiler baiting, hinting at spoilers, or asking for spoilers is not allowed.

• The main "Anime” or “Manga” section is spoiler-free. It is usually used for on-topic discussion, opinion or review about the anime/manga without spoilers.

• The "Episode" or “Chapter” section may contain current and prior content information. Contents from a source material or future episodes are considered spoilers.

• The main manga section should only contain reviews and discussions without spoilers.

• Major Spoiler: Permanent ban
• Note: Consequently, a second infraction will result in a permanent ban.
