| Definitions NSFM: Content that might be considered offensive or too sexually explicit for the wide range of age groups on MAL's base. This includes, but is not limited to: erotic, excessively violent, bigoted and harmful content.
Note that constantly trying to push the boundaries of the NSFM rules with borderline content may result in warnings/bans. If you are unsure whether your content is acceptable or not, please ask a forum or community before posting it. Spam:
Trolling: Starting arguments or upsetting s by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the intent of provoking s into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. (Source: Wikipedia) Insults (abuse): An insult is a derogatory remark that labels an individual or group of s. Name-calling is not productive and typically derails the topic by turning the discussion to the credibility of the (s). It never convinces the other party and often provokes a similar reaction from other posters. The resulting commotion is ineffective for the offender, offensive for the target, distracting for spectators and tiring for s. Advertising: Posting content with the intent to attract visitors to another location, either an external site or another location on MAL. Impersonation: Intentionally posting as another or staff member by copying their signature, avatar, profile picture and/or choosing a name that may be confused for another. Spoiler: Any remark, comment, summary, or description of a series that reveals plot elements which will give away the outcome of an episode within the series or the conclusion of the entire series. (Source: Wikipedia) Factual Topics: These threads discuss topics limited to an individual's experience and are unlikely to promote new thought or ideas. They do not expire and new posts may be added to the original discussion. E.g.: What is your favorite xxx? What is the best/worst xxx? What was your first xxx? Conceptual Topics: These threads contain topics larger than oneself and may promote new thoughts or ideas. If the possibility of unique discussion exists and the last post of the existing thread is more than one month old, the thread may be created anew. |
