rules:
1. be nice. no harassment. no ship bashing. keep fan wank in the appropriate board. mods can move threads at their discretion if they turn into fan wank. when in doubt, just hop over there.
2. don't post other creators' art! links to a creator's original post are great, posts of and links to your own art are great, but posting someone else's art is functionally reposting and will be taken down by a mod
3. this is an ai-free zone - no ai generated art, fic, etc is permitted. please be mindful of sharing ai-gen'd art/fic as it will be taken down by a mod

4. try to keep things where they should go! keep nsfw discussions, art, etc in the nsfw boards, leaks/leak discussions in the new chapter discussion board, ship talk in the appropriate ship board, etc! mods will move threads if deemed necessary
breaking the above rules will result in a warning (and a chat with a mod). 3 warnings will result in suspension or possible ban, depending on severity.
strong recommendations:
1. when posting info in the info category (character info, rankings, timeline, etc) please include sources where available (chapter number references or other links)
2. try to locate existing threads before creating new ones! we only need one fic rec thread per ship, for example. having too many threads discussing the same topic can get confusing!
3. if you'd like to host/run an event (fic bang/prompt event/group watch/etc) let a mod know! it's not so much a 'permission' thing as just a general awareness thing, and mods/admins may also help with promo and moderation during/after
4. if you feel something's missing (a board for your fave ship, a rule, a group, a category, etc) just let us know in the suggestions board!
5. if you're under 18, please be kind enough not to participate in nsfw boards/threads! we want everyone to be comfortable, and if it's discovered that someone under 18 is participating in an 18+ space, you may be warned or blocked from entering those boards
6. please make an effort to resolve issues with other members directly before coming to a mod. we're more than happy to help where appropriate, and we absolutely will not tolerate harassment, but we are also not equipped to micromanage every interaction and relationship between members
