NightRaidHQ Global Rules:
Spam: stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Material/Message and includes (but is not limited to) all actions illustrated in the list below:
•Off Topic Posts: Posting something completely irrelevant to the topic of discussion or forum.
•Personal Problems Threads: If you have a problem with a fellow member you should solve it by using an instant messenger or, if that is not possible, through visitor and private messages. There is no reason for all members to take part in your problems.
•Threads about other members: As in: 'Who is the coolest person on NRHQ' or 'Who is the worst moderator' are considered both spam and flaming and will be treated as such.
•Ban-Threads: Creating threads asking why a member is banned is not allowed, even if it is about yourself. NRHQ's staff have no obligation whatsoever to explain to any other member the reason of the ban and it is our wish that the reason would remain private anyway. However, if you think you have been unjustifiably banned you can contact one of the administrators; this you can do only after you have read our Global Rules and you are absolutely sure you haven't broken any of them.
•Multi-posting: Posting one post after another in any thread is not allowed. This means making a new post directly below another post of yours (double/triple/multi-posting) will be considered spamming and will be thus treated.
•Multi-answering: Answering a question that has already been properly answered is unnecessary and will be treated as spam.
Off-topic posts are allowed on the following forum, under that forum's specific rules:
[The Hot Spring]
Flaming: A flame is an insult or slur directed to a member. Listed below are our definitions of "flames":
•Bullying: Is to treat another member in an overbearing or intimidating manner. Such action is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated. If you feel that someone is bullying you or harassing you in any way you should report it to an admin or global moderator immediately.
•Bashing: Is to engage in harsh, accusatory and/or threatening criticism directed to any member of the forum.
•Trolling: Trolling is a stupid and annoying behavior on the forum which significantly increases the world load of the staff and tests our tolerance towards the offenders. From this point and on, special actions will be taken to ensure that members who partake in such behavior learn to abide by our rules or stay away from Night Raid HQ. The administrators have the right to ban members from the community if they feel that they are a threat to the forum.
•Insults: Any type of insult directed from one member to another member. Please remember that there is a big difference between "criticism" and "insulting".
Common: Includes all the important rules listed below:
•Images: Signatures, Avatars, Profile Pictures, Pictures posted in threads as well as Youtube videos are subject to the same rules as posts, so, if something is not acceptable to post, then it is not acceptable for a signature. In this case, a moderator will ask you to change or delete your inappropriate image; please do so immediately. Failure to do so will result in your signature being deleted. A repeat offense usually results in an account ban.
•Character Bashing: Members who resort to ‘character bashing’ as their persistent topic of discussion will be treated under the same conditions as trolls. Character bashing refers to a topic of discussion whereby a member decides to make fun of certain characters/character pairings leading to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking. Members who continually partake in such behavior may have account restrictions applied to them including infractions and bans.
Examples:
Character bashing: 'Tatsumi sucks because he just does.'
NOT Character bashing: 'I don't like Tatsumi because in a fight, he chose to...'
•Interaction with the Staff: We are here to fix problems & make sure that the forum runs smoothly. We also welcome plausible and realistic suggestions. Spamming us with questions that we have already answered and created sticky threads for or bullying us by sending 10 messages for a simple thing you want in the forum is considered disrespectful and spam.
Other:
•Spoilers: Not everyone is at the same point of the anime or manga; Respect that by placing the Spoiler Tags where appropriate. Also, please make sure that your thread's title does not contain any spoilers either. This is to protect the members that aren't fully up to date with the latest manga releases. If you can't refrain yourself from doing so, then the staff of NRHQ will change the title(s) of your thread(s) and you will receive warnings/infractions. Allow your creativity to take the place of names or battle outcomes etc.
•Alternative accounts: While alternative accounts are not prohibited, any breaking or abuse of the forum rules (of any alternative accounts) will lead to its' permanent banning. Remember that it is strictly forbidden to use an alt account while your main one or another account of yours is banned.
•Autoplay Videos: Do not place a video that autoplays in your signature or profile intro and do not post one in any thread.
Kind regards,
Night Raid HQ Staff.
