Basically these are the rules of our forum. If you follow them there will be no bother for you or anyone else.

This is a topic specific forum for the most part. You can however talk about anything you want in the Lounge. We need to keep this forum about the content, so there will be rules limiting signature sizes.

You will however be allowed your own custom avatars, so there should be no complaints about being allowed some individuality. Read the whole rules section for more details.

Anyone who posts on this forum and is in breach of the rules will have no excuses, you should have read the rules before you sign up.

*Posting anything illegal.

*Posting porn.

*Posting warez.

*Creating tension between other manga studios.

*Creating tension between anybody.

Swearing and Adult material:

Because of the nature of this site, there will be children here, therefore all posts containing adult material should be clearly marked.

Swearing is perfectly acceptable, as long is its administered properly.

How i treat swearing will depend very much on the context in which its used.

Opinion:

We all have our own opinions, and we are all entitled to them. I will not tolerate anyone ridiculing people for their opinions on anything. If you are giving a critique then do so constructively.

There is no right or wrong in this game for the most part; just an opinion and your opinion is not law. Common sense says even that if what you say is right and the other person still refuses to acknowledge it, then it's not worth going on about is it?

You will do things the way you want, and others will do the same. Let them be.

Please also bear in mind this is a British Forum. We use strange phrases which may cause offence to some people, You have been warned.

What you may consider a civil way to respond to someone, and what i do are totally different things. Of course if you are from England, particularly the north then you'll probably understand where i am coming from.
