Community Standards

Generally speaking, as long as the following rules are met you should never find yourself subject to disciplinary action:

• Ensure a friendly atmosphere to our visitors and forum members.
• Encourage the freedom of expression and exchange of information in a mature and responsible manner.
• "Don't be a dick."
• Remember your audience; both present and future.

The following is not an exhaustive list of the rules and guidelines that must be followed when participating on Just Anime Forums. The administration and moderation team reserve the right to terminate any and all accounts or remove any content at any stage without prior notice. The rules outlined below are only the minimum expectations of members, and not every issue can be predicted and addressed here, so conduct could still be considered out of line even if it isn't covered here specifically. The instructions of the moderation team must be followed at all times.

• No harassment, discrimination or abuse of any kind.
  • This includes insults, fanboy, or troll accusations
  • This includes disrespecting members and staff

  • This will include pictures depicting bodily fluids, whether it is sexually explicit in content or not. This excludes pictures of characters drooling and crying/teary-eyed, so long as the content is not sexually explicit.
• No Inappropriate Names
  • Names that are inappropriate names describing explicit content will be banned and administratively changed. We do have a younger audience on the forum. Just don't do it.
