Expected Behavior
MangaPark is a community built on kindness and respect towards other users. To ensure that our community is held to these standards, all users are expected to follow these guidelines:
General Conduct
- Treat everyone you encounter on MangaPark with respect: Everyone has the right to be respected, MangaPark is no exception when it comes to these terms. Treat people how you want to be treated.
- Hate speech, which includes, racism, harassment, and sexism is prohibited: Hate speech is public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation. Any instances of hate speech should be reported while not interacting with the offending user(s).
- Personal attacks or harassment is not tolerated: This is considered bullying and will be met with a ban. It is recommended that you do not make an attempt to engage or argue back with the offender(s) as it can escalate in to something worse.
- Excessive reporting is not allowed: All reports are bound to be seen by a moderator, please do not spam report. Spam reporting adds to the work-load of moderation and is counterproductive. If a user needs to notify a website moderator then do so in the Discord.
Comment Section Guidelines
- On-topic discussion: When commenting on an entry, users should keep on-topic conversations which relate to the entry. Purposefully derailing conversations will receive a warning. It can be relatively easy to de-rail a conversation that first meant to be about an entry, if a conversation naturally derails from the original topic, move it to messages.
- Marking Spoilers: A spoiler is usually defined as a remark or piece of information which reveals important story elements that could ruin other users' reading experiences. To avoid comment deletion, use the markdown for spoilers
<spoiler></spoiler>
. - Spamming and advertisement is not allowed: Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send multiple unsolicited messages (spam) to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising, non-commercial proselytizing, or any prohibited purpose (especially phishing), or simply repeatedly sending the same message to the same user. Any instance of spamming or advertisement will be instantly met with a ban. Users are allowed to share relevant links to entries, such as MangaDex and scanlation sites.
- Do not engage in flame wars: A flame war is an argument consisting entirely or largely of flames (attacks) by various parties that serve only to escalate the dispute. These arguments create a toxic environment at MangaPark. Any instance of a flame war will get the offender(s) officially warned and/or banned. Disengage and report the situation instead of retaliation.
