1. Staff can do anything to anyone for any reason (or no reason). If you take issue with a decision, you must do so privately with the staff member who issued the decision or with an administrator of the site.
  2. One account per person per lifetime.
  3. Follow proper private BitTorrent practices. Torrent files you download from this site are unique to you and should not be shared with others. Torrent files from this site should not be modified by adding additional trackers or enabling DHT or PEX under any circumstances.
  4. Buying invites is not allowed. If staff discover you have purchased an invite, you will be banned for life. You will be given amnesty if you approach us before you are caught and reveal who your seller was. Waiting until after you are caught will get you nothing.
  5. Accessing the site from any IP address is permitted, but your account will be linked with other accounts that have accessed the site from the same IP as you. As such, it is recommended that you don't use public networks, proxies, or VPNs to access the site.
  6. Attempting to find a bug in the site code is allowed and sometimes even rewarded. Follow proper disclosure procedures by contacting staff about the issue well before disclosing it publicly. Do not misuse any bugs you may discover. Do not attempt to portray abuse as a bug in the hopes of a reward.
  7. Don't reveal the criteria for hidden badges or events.
  1. Many forums have their own set of rules. Make sure you read and take note of these rules before you attempt to post in one of these forums.
  2. No commercial advertising or referral schemes. This includes any scheme in which the poster gets personal gain from users clicking a link. You will be immediately banned for this, no questions asked.
  3. No asking for money for any reason whatsoever. We don't know or care about your friend who lost everything, or dying relative who wants to enjoy their last few moments alive by being given lots of money.
  4. Do not inappropriately advertise your uploads. In special cases, it is acceptable to mention new uploads in an approved thread, but be sure to carefully read the thread's rules before posting. It is also acceptable to discuss releases you have uploaded when conversing about the title itself. Blatant attempts to advertise your uploads outside of the appropriate forums or threads may result in a warning or loss of privileges.
  5. No posting requests in forums. There's a requests link at the top of the page for a reason.
  6. Be sure you read all the sticky threads in a forum before you post.
  7. Use descriptive and specific subject lines. This helps others decide whether your particular words of "wisdom" relate to a topic they care about.
  8. Don't post comments that don't add anything to the discussion. This generally includes any post without its own substance, such as "I agree" or "haha". These kinds of posts are annoying to people who are trying to actually find some information in a thread.
  9. Refrain from quoting excessively. When quoting someone, use only the portion of the quote that is absolutely necessary.
  10. Do not post any potentially malicious links without sufficient warning.
  11. Don't waste other people's bandwidth by posting images with a large file size.
  12. Only offer or request invites to other trackers in designated forums. If you can't find the invite forum, it's because you don't have access to it and should not post about it.
  13. No language other than English (and Japanese, when relevant) is permitted in the forums.
  14. Some things that are allowed include mature and graphic content, political and religious discussions, and insults. You are welcome to express whatever inflammatory opinions you want as long as you don't go overboard with it.
  1. Staff have the final decision. If a staff member says stop and you continue, expect repercussions.
  2. Do not leave Caps Lock enabled all the time. It gets annoying, and you will likely get yourself kicked.
  3. No opinions, especially related to race, religion, politics, etc are allowed. Failure to comply with a request to cease having an opinion WILL be considered a thoughtcrime and you WILL be reeducated.
  4. Flooding is irritating and will warrant you a kick if it isn't funny enough or if an admin is cranky. This includes, but is not limited to, automatic "now playing" scripts, pasting large amounts of irrelevant text, and multiple consecutive lines with no relevance to the conversation at hand.
  5. Impersonation of other members — particularly staff members — will not go unpunished. If you are uncertain of a user's identity, check their vhost
  6. Spamming is strictly forbidden unless it's funny. This includes, but is not limited to, personal sites, online auctions, and cans of blended meat.
  7. Obsessive annoyance — both to other users and staff — will not be tolerated.
  8. Do not PM, DCC, or Query anyone you don't know or have never talked to without asking first; this applies specifically to staff.
  9. No language other than English is permitted in the official IRC channels.
  10. Bots are not permitted in official channels with the exception of #oppaitime-announce and #oppaitime-requests.
  11. Any bots you have on IRC should authenticate with Udon using your own username and IRC key
  12. Bots must identify themselves by setting the +B usermode on themselves.
  13. Unofficial channels are not policed by staff. Any content or discussion that goes on in unofficial channels shoud be treated as part of an unrelated public irc network.
  14. Read the channel topic before asking questions.
