tl;dr - A more complete set of rules has been posted to the wiki and a link included in the sidebar.

Hi everybody! Despite my tendency to write too much, this will be a quick post, I promise. 🤞

I had been slowly working in the background on writing up a more verbose and complete version of rules for the community on the wiki. After the most recent discussion about an edge case in the rules in which the community gave some great feedback, I thought it worthwhile to make this page go live and call it out in the sidebar.

The most notable parts of the full rules that are not present in the shortened version present in the sidebar would be:

  • Some clarifications on relevant content
  • A longer discussion of NSFW content and some edge cases
  • Rules for posts linking to legally available full episodes
  • Rules/guidelines for [Clip] posts
  • Rules pertaining to self-promotion

That’s it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or reach out to me separately. Alternatively, if you want to go over my head, you can ask @hitagi@ani.social directly since they can nuke my mod-dom from orbit should they so choose.

Finally, thanks to @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al for the recent discussion and for motivating me to finish up this rules page.

    What considered NSFW? What not?

    Nudity = NSFW? It’s not allowed?

    So, ani.social don’t allow Hentai?

    Kinda confuse.

      The rules page linked in the sidebar here is only for the !anime@ani.social community. For rules specifically about NSFW content, here is a direct link to the section where I try to explain the rules.

      Short version:

      • No posting of hentai in this community.
      • If you are posting a clip of a non-hentai show that still has nudity (or very heavy fan-servicey bits), you can post it, but mark it as NSFW.
      • If you are linking to an article that talks about sexually explicit things or has art that is explicit, mark it as NSFW. (some sites also have a bunch of NSFW ads or other content that is NSFW, so mark those sites as NSFW as well when you post)
      • Cases where there is an article about hentai, but the article itself doesn’t feature explicit art/images should be marked as NSFW, but may be allowed on a case by case basis.

      Let me know if you have any questions still!

      For ani.social as a whole, the rules are laid out in the Terms of Use and you should ask hitagi about those.
