   For Anime & TV Series: Discussion of events from manga, light novels, or source material beyond the adapted episodes is strictly prohibited. Future plot points from unaired episodes are considered major spoilers.

3 Moderation & Rule Enforcement

1. 3.1 Respect Moderator Decisions

   Admins and Moderators reserve the right to take action on your content. Do not argue or harass them. Treat the staff with respect. Impersonating staff members is strictly prohibited.

2. 3.2 Community Reporting

   Your support plays a key role in keeping our community safe. Help by reporting any rule violations you encounter. Together, we can create a space that's safe, engaging, and enjoyable for all.

3. 3.3 Intent vs. Impact

   We moderate based on how your comment affects others—not just your intention. Even if something wasn't meant to offend, if it causes harm, it still counts as a violation.

4. 3.4 Reporting Violations

   To help keep the community safe, report users with clear proof (screenshots). User reports should be submitted through our official channels for proper review.

4 Ban & Appeal System

1. 4.1 Zero Tolerance for Repeat Offenders

   We believe in second chances, but if a user continues to break rules after warnings or mutes, stronger actions may be taken, including permanent bans.

2. 4.2 Appeals Process

   Suspended accounts may appeal through our official support channel. However, second bans are rarely overturned and are typically permanent.

3. 4.3 Moderator Discretion

   Not every situation can be predicted. Moderators have the authority to use their judgment to take action that protects the community's best interest.
