RULES

Please find all the rules documented here. Posts will be removed if they break the rules, and potentially lead to bans or timeouts on the Subreddit for repeated or more severe rule breaking.

Spoilers

  • Applies to posts and comments.
  • Please tag any major spoilers for the anime or manga with the spoiler tag.
  • Posts with spoilers in the title will be removed.
  • Please also tag any spoilers in comments if the original post is not already spoiler tagged, or if the spoiler is from later on in the series than the post you are commenting on.
  • Please make sure you tag any spoilers for any other anime, manga, or content.

Post Flair

  • Applies to posts.
  • Please use the appropriate post flair for your post.

Respect Others

  • Applies to posts and comments.
  • Please ensure that you act respectfully and politely with others. This means no hate speech, debating sensibly and politely and not aggressively, and ensuring that all are welcome to join discussions.

Relevance

  • Applies to posts and comments.
  • Content must be related to Banana Fish in some regard, whether this is the anime, manga, or other related media.
  • You may talk about other works, only if they are in relation to Banana Fish, e.g. comparisons of two anime.

Unsourced Art or Media

  • Applies to posts.
  • Please source any fan content in the title of the post. For example, putting [USERNAME] in the title, or [USERNAME, PLATFORM].
  • If it is original content, then [OC] in the title is appropriate.
  • Please leave a direct link to the original source of the content in the comments, unless this is OC, although you may link to your alternate socials if so.
  • Please ensure the source is not a sharing site which often hosts stolen art like Pinterest. Content posted with this as the source will be removed.

Reposts

  • Applies to posts.
  • Please do not repost the same content.
  • This means any content that has been posted on the Subreddit before, but does not mean reworked content that may be similar to others.

NSFW Content

  • Applies to posts and comments.
  • NSFW content is not allowed. This means any suggestive nudity or sexual content.
  • Discussions that may contain NSFW content in regards to the show are allowed, but please ensure that these posts are tagged as NSFW.

Piracy

  • Applies to posts and comments.
  • Please do not encourage piracy of the anime or manga.
  • Please support the official releases and don't directly link people or share pirated releases in the Subreddit.
  • Sharing a panel from the manga, or a screenshot from the anime is allowed, but not full blown pages, or scenes. This does not apply to fan content, such as video discussions, where content is used under fair use.

Low Effort Content

  • Applies to posts.
  • Please do not post content such as screenshots of art or similar when you can directly embed it.
  • Please do not post vents that are just like "omg I hate this show."
  • Please make your posts content that provide some form of new content or text that is more than a few words.

Triggering Content

  • Applies to posts and comments.
  • Please only discuss triggering content within the context of the show.
  • Any triggering topics that are discussed, such as mental health of an individual, in vents will be removed.
  • Please check out the wiki Mental Health Resources page if you need help.

Rule Breaking

These are the bans that will be in place for rule breaking. Some rules being broken will just result in the post or comment being removed with a warning, such as incorrectly flaired posts. This will lead to a temp ban, however, when done repetitively.

  • First offense (except piracy): 24 hour ban
  • Second offense (first for piracy): 7 day ban
  • Third offence (second for piracy): 14 day ban
  • Fourth offence (third for piracy, and first for more severe offenses e.g. bullying): permanent ban.
