Forum Rules
Inappropriate Pictures - Inappropriate pictures are not allowed. This includes images, words and abbreviated curse words.
Advertising & Outside links- Links and advertising other websites including chat boxes and live voice chat are not allowed anywhere on the site. *This includes writing sitename.com just because it's not clickable it is still considered directing members off site. The same rules that apply in the forums also apply to visitor & private messages. If you have a link you want to post, send a private message to an administrator to get it approved before posting it.
Signature Size- Don’t make your signature image bigger than 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall. You can add text above or below your image but no more than a few lines. If your signature is taking up half the page it's too big.
Spam- Don’t spam the forums. “Spam” means: posting things that have nothing to do with the original post, double posting (posting two+ messages in a row), and over-using the smileys. Please use common sense with bumping, pay attention to when the thread was started and the usefulness of the thread. Bumping mini games because you want to play is ok.
Bumping threads- This means writing bump or just posting something to bring your thread back to the top. You can bump once every 4 hours.
Rants- Please don't start a thread ranting about what other people are posting. If you don't like the topic move on to another thread. If their topic is breaking a forum rule, please report it.
Backseat Moderating- Please do not moderate if you are not an official Anime Spiral Moderator.
Deleted posts- If your post or thread was deleted/closed do not repost it, it was deleted for a reason. Please do not post or start a thread about a deleted post/thread. If you have a question as to why it was deleted please PM a staff member.
Password and Personal Information- Do not give your password to anyone. Do do not post your personal information anywhere on the forums. Report anyone that asks for your personal information to a moderator immediately. Staff members will never ask for any personal information from you, including your password.
Arguments/Fights- Don't start fights, don't get involved in fights. If a fight starts notify a moderator. We do not allow members to name other people in a negative way.
Posting- The moderators have to be able to read your post in order to moderate. This means no intentional misspelling of words or posting in languages other than English. You may post simple phrases in other languages, such as "hai".
Anime Videos and Music- You may post any anime videos or vocaloid music only if it doesn't break any of the forum rules.
Unwanted Criticism or CnC- We are a friendly forum, responding to someone's post to simply offer UNINVITED criticism regarding spelling or grammar corrections is not permitted.
The staff at Anime Spiral has final say on what is appropriate and what is not. Just because you receive a warning for a rule not specifically mentioned, does not mean you didn't do anything wrong. The staff has the right to remove or edit anything they see as inappropriate. Posting a warning sent you by staff could lead to an immediate ban.
