Rule #1: Respect Modders Decisions
Do not pressure others to upload their mods to NexusMods or GameBanana, especially when they are shared on AyakaMods. And do not repost others' mods on any site, let the mod creator decide where they want to post their mods. Anyone caught doing breaking this rule will receive a 3 days ban for the first time, 1 month ban for the second time, and a permanent ban on any further attempts.

Rule #2: One account per person.

• Creating multiple accounts is not allowed for any reason. There is no need for multiple accounts. You are not to share your account with others. It is your account, and only you are authorized to use it. Anyone found in violation will be permanently banned.

Rule #3: Hacking and invasion of privacy will not be tolerated.

• Any attempt to hack or a threat of hacking will result in a permanent ban. We reserve the right to take legal action against the guilty party.
• Do not attempt to guess passwords or steal an account that does not belong to you. You will be permanently banned.
• The impersonation of any member or staff is not tolerable. Any account name that resembles a staff member will be altered or deleted without notice. Also, refrain from using the same or similar signature or avatar that another member uses.

Rule #4: Advertising and website promotion is prohibited.

• Advertising and website promotion is prohibited. This includes creating a thread that promotes your site or another, or any form of advertising like "Free Laptops!" If you violate this rule, the staff will delete your post without notification and may take further action. Advertising in the Gallery, signature area, profile page, or anywhere on the website is not allowed. However, you can still post links to other websites as long as it's not for the purpose of promoting a website for personal or others' gain. We encourage members to engage in fun and meaningful discussions. Links to sites like YouTube or GameInformer that enhance the experience are allowed.

Rule #5: Create threads in the proper section.

• Each section of the forum has a particular subject that must be followed. Make sure the thread you create is appropriate and relevant to the section you are posting in. For example, a topic about your favorite manga should be published in the manga section, not in the anime section. If you do not know where to post a thread, ask a member or staff personnel. If your thread is published in the wrong section, it will be moved, and you will be told to be more aware in the future. If you fail to post in the proper section time after time, the staff reserves the right to take the necessary action.

Rule #6: Do not go off-topic.

• Each thread has a topic, and you are to discuss only that issue or what is relevant to the problem. Do not go off on random tangents and do not post in the thread if you do not know what it is about. Members who are frequently off-topic are subject to administrative action.

Rule #7: Forum Flooding will not be tolerated.

• Two or more consecutive posts in a row In the same thread is not allowed. There is an “edit” button for a reason. If you wish to add more to your posts or update it, use the “edit” button. Do not create another post if your post is the latest post in the thread. An exception to this rule is when you have reached a particular limitation, such as the maximum number of images allowed in one position when posting your art profile.
• Spam and stupid posts will be deleted on the spot. Members that frequently spam, be it intentional or not will be subject to administrative action. Posts that consist of only smileys, one-liner or nonsense qualifies as spam. If you wish to spam, please use the spam forum.
• Unintelligible and unreadable posts will be deleted in sight. Post as clearly as possible. This includes using spelling and grammar to the best of your abilities. Do not post in a language that is not English and do not publish in Internet languages such as l33t or self-made languages. Clear posts help you, and others understand what you're saying, anything that is difficult to read or is an eyesore only creates problems. When posting, keep in mind that you should type in a manner that is universally understandable.
• Flooding the forum with multiple threads in a short period is prohibited especially when they are irrelevant or redundant to the discussion. We appreciate members who try to be active and encourage activity, but we do not like seeing scores of unrelated and junk threads.
• Creating threads that resemble or are the same as another active thread is not allowed. Please search before you create a thread. There is always a chance that the thread you are about to make already exists. If you do form a thread that is similar or identical, it will either be merged or deleted.
• Posting mass images or videos is not allowed either. Also, remember to put all adult images in spoilers. You are not allowed to post scores of pictures in one post unless you are in an image-sharing club or you are in the graphics forums.

Rule #8: Respect and common courtesy.

• Respect the opinion of your fellow members. There are always multiple opinions, and they may or may not conflict with yours. Please be respectful of others. They have the right to hold a view just like yourself and be sure to respect their opinion as you would appreciate your own. If someone's opinion, belief, or thoughts contradict yours, do not insult or attack them. Discuss and work out the differences instead.
• Racist and prejudiced remarks or behavior are intolerable. Inflammatory comments of another's race, culture, country, religion, or gender are prohibited. We do not allow threads or posts that contain such remarks. We do not let “hating” on anyone for any reason. Any member in violation will be noted and dealt with accordingly and may be subject to the highest severity of punishment.
• Every member is equal to another. No member is higher or lower than another. Be it post count, join date, number of friends, reputation, or amount of shared content, it is all irrelevant. Everyone is to be treated equally and respectfully. Do not boss around another member or snub them just because you have a higher post count or reputation. Anyone who partakes in such behavior, including abuse of the reputation system will be dealt with accordingly. Please report any member that is in violation so that the staff can respond speedily.
• Bickering, drama queens, or publicly calling out a fellow forum member will not be tolerated. Posts/threads perpetrating any sort of attack or drama will be removed on sight and warnings given to involved parties. This is a forum for helping each other build and mod, leaving the drama at the door.
• To keep the site & community inviting and friendly we do not allow several categories of conversation. This is not intended as censorship or endorsement of any particular view, but rather a move to keep this site neutral and open. The categories of conversation that are not welcome include those discussing politics and religion. Too often these discussions descend into pointless bickering and lead to offending one party or the other (if not both). This sends the wrong message of what this site is all about. There are plenty of forums, blogs, and other online outlets available for these types of conversations, but this site is not one of them.

Rule #9: Flaming and provocation.

• We understand that members like to remind other members of the rules, especially when they are in violation. However, there is no need to be harsh or hold a public “lynching” when someone breaks a rule. Just remind them of the rules and leave it at that. If further action needs to be taken, use the “report” button.
• Do not attack a member if you cannot accept his or her opinion. Just turn away and move on. There is no need to retaliate.
• Provocation is intolerable. Any post or thread that is provoking will be deleted, and the member will be dealt with accordingly. Repeat offenders will be banned permanently. However, you also must not fall into provocation. If something is provoking, use the “report” button but do not retaliate.
• Flaming, insulting, or humiliating staff in any form will not be tolerated. Anyone that is in violation will be dealt with quickly and harshly.

Rule #10: Follow signature and avatar guidelines.

• Signatures and avatars must be work-safe. In other words, no extreme acts of violence are allowed in avatars or signatures. As a general rule, any image that reveals a private part or genitalia (gore) is prohibited and therefore your avatar and signature also forbid it.
• You are allowed a maximum of 500x300 pixels of space for your Graphic signature. You are allowed to have up to 3 smaller images that fulfill this area.
• Stealing another member's signature or the alteration of another member's signature is strictly prohibited. If you see someone with your signature, please try to solve it with the person first respectfully. If the problem persists, contact a moderator or administrator.
• Links or embedded links in images within your signature are forbidden. You may only link to a picture or item that uses the domain name. The only exception to this is relating to portfolio sites such as DeviantArt.
• If you are a member who has been quoted in a signature and you do not wish to be quoted, respectfully approach the person that has quoted you in their signature and try to solve it with them first before contacting staff.
• If you wish to put a banner on your club or great lyrics in your signature, put it in a spoiler!

Rule #11: Hotlinking images.

• We do not prohibit hotlinking images, but the administration of our Forum strongly encourages members to host their photos on websites such as PhotoBucket, TinyPic, Firegoon, or Minus. Not only is it good practice but it is unfair to hotlink images when you do not have the owner's permission. Hotlinking causes dual-traffic issues. It puts a strain on us and pressure on the owner of the image. Some websites also have anti-hotlinking protection where the hot-linked image is shown as blank or in some cases, a foul, disturbing,g or pornographic image. Do your part by hosting images on an image host so that these problems do not occur!

Rule #12: Bumping and necroing threads.

• Bumping threads is entirely acceptable if there is a sound reasoning behind it. If you wish to hit a topic that has not gotten many views or any replies after posting or a thread that still has much potential, we will accept it. However, we do not tolerate necroing threads. What are necroing threads? It's when a member posts in a thread that ceased to be active or relevant to the forum a very long time ago. It's okay to post in threads that are a few months old as long as it has sound reasoning, but it should not become an active habit.

Rule #13: Use respectful language.

• We are a Global forum, so members are welcome to post in any language. However, please be mindful of your audience. If you're posting in a language other than English, consider providing a translation or context when necessary to help others understand and participate. All members are expected to use respectful and appropriate language across the forum. Mild cursing may be tolerated, but excessive profanity or vulgarity, especially outside the adult sections, will not be allowed. This applies to all areas of the site, including gallery comments and status updates. No cursing is allowed in status updates. Please remember that minors also use this site, and everyone deserves a welcoming environment.

Rule #14: User Content.

• Members run the forum. We do not screen or verify content that is posted. If any material that is yours, be it a signature, render, or copyright content is being distributed on our forum or being used without your permission, please report the member and contact an administrator with the link to what is being infringed upon and proper proof that it is your content. We will work with you, and if we deem that a user is in violation, we will remove your content in an acceptable time frame.

Rule #15: Age appropriate.

• The content on our forum is best suited for those who are 13 years old and above. We are not responsible for any content that you may find offensive or disturbing. The material found in posts and topics does not necessarily reflect the views or nature of our forum, and therefore we cannot be held accountable for any action that a member may take, although we reserve the right to correct any wrong-doings.
