OB Terms of Service

Introduction
Welcome to the OtakuBoards ToS page. Although some of our forums have their own specific posting rules, we also have a general Terms of Service that govern the entire site. Forums that have their own posting rules contain pinned topics for members to read; always make sure to check pinned topics in forums. Below you will find our general Terms of Service.

Spam
For the uninitiated, spam is basically any type of content that we don’t want to see on the site. We expect all members to exercise a little common sense when it comes to posting, but just to be sure, here’s a basic list of stuff we don’t want to see on OtakuBoards:

  • Abuse of Members or Staff
  • Topics or posts created solely for the purpose of advertising
  • Adult images/content
  • Selling/distribution of copyrighted material
  • Plagiarism
In general we encourage all members to post coherently; it doesn’t really matter how big or small your posts are, as long as they are clear and relevant to the discussion.

Please note that we do now allow double-posting in all forums at OB, but if you post many times in a row, a moderator will either merge your posts or may send you a warning. Please post responsibly.

Banning
Our rules are pretty basic and we will give all members a fair amount of leeway. However, we do reserve the right to ban a member at any time and without warning. If a member is doing something inappropriate on OtakuBoards, a moderator will usually PM the member to provide a warning; but this is not required.

Further information about banning can be found on our Help page.

If you have any further questions after reading the ToS and the Help page, please use our Soapbox forum to read through member questions or to ask your own.
