Otaku EX is a place for fans to share news, opinions, and enthusiasm for anime, manga, games, and Japanese pop culture. These guidelines apply to article discussions and other community areas.

Be Respectful

Discuss ideas without attacking people. Harassment, threats, bullying, hate speech, slurs, discrimination, and deliberately hostile behavior are not allowed. Disagreement is fine; cruelty is not.

Keep It Teen-Friendly

Keep profanity to a minimum and do not post explicit sexual material, nudity, graphic violence, or excessively disturbing content. Mature subjects may be discussed when they are genuinely relevant to a news story or work being covered, but keep the discussion factual, non-graphic, and appropriate for a general teen audience.

Stay on Topic

Keep comments connected to the article or discussion. A little friendly conversation is welcome, but repeated derailment, arguments carried across topics, and disruptive posting may be removed.

Handle Spoilers Carefully

Clearly warn readers before discussing major plot details, especially for recent episodes, chapters, games, or movies. Use spoiler formatting when it is available.

Protect Privacy

Do not post private or identifying information about another person without permission. This includes addresses, phone numbers, private messages, account details, and information that could be used to locate or harass someone.

No Spam or Manipulation

Do not post repetitive promotions, scams, misleading links, automated messages, or attempts to manipulate discussions. Relevant links and recommendations are welcome when they genuinely help the conversation.

Share Responsibly

Do not post material you do not have the right to share. Credit creators and sources when appropriate. Do not impersonate other people, fabricate quotes, or knowingly present false information as fact.

Help the Community

If you see a problem, use the forum’s reporting tools rather than starting a public fight. For issues that cannot be reported through the forum, use the Contact page.

Moderation

Moderators may edit, move, hide, or remove content and may warn, restrict, suspend, or remove accounts when needed to protect the community. Serious violations may result in immediate action. These guidelines cannot describe every situation, so moderators may use reasonable judgment.

By participating, you also agree to the Terms of Use. Thanks for helping make Otaku EX a friendly place for fans.
