Bleach Forum Rules and relevant threads ["A must read!" says Mr. Obama]

[monir]

The absolute rules for Bleach:

• Bleach Forum Rules

  The post runs down on the particular forum rules and guidelines that needs to be observed when posting in the Bleach section of the forum.

  .
• Bleach is Licensed! Ask for it = Ban!

  This rule is pretty much self explanatory. Since Bleach is licensed, asking for a download of the manga or the anime will lead to a ban.

  .
• Spoilers will lead to a BAN

  Any kind of spoilers that give away future plot point in any [anime-only] thread will lead to a ban. If a thread doesn't have the [anime-only] tag, the usage of clearly marked spoiler tags are a must to reveal any manga spoilers. This rule doesn't apply to any thread that has the [manga] tag in front of any thread title.

The useful threads in Bleach:

• What manga Chapter = this anime Episode?

  Have a question about how many manga chapters a particular anime episode of Bleach has covered? Ask in that thread.

  .
• Bounto arc started at ep 64. Manga resumes in 109.

  Bleach ran an anime original arc called the Bount Arc that started from episode 64, and ended in episode 109. Bleach anime resumed on the manga storyline from episode 110.

Everyone is encouraged to use the report button that is located under the left hand corner of every username whenever any of the above rules are broken.

A word to the wise ~ NoSanninWa's Bleach Forum Rules ~
________________________________________________

I'm happy to say that Bleach now has its own forum. Unfortunately, now that Bleach has its own forum a lot of people will be eager to do stupid sh*t. You know well what I mean.

Rule 1: If I think I see spoilers, there will be bans. You cannot put any spoilers about manga in the anime discussions at all. Week long bans will follow.

Rule 2: Stupid thread creation will lead to bans. The existence of a forum doesn't mean we need threads for any crazy thing you can imagine.

Rule 3: If a thread has spoilers from the manga, it will need to say so in the title. If it doesn't... you know what happens.

Rule 4: If something hasn't been scanlated yet, you need to put it in spoiler tags even if the thread title is marked for manga spoilers. For information about how to use spoiler tags please read the FAQ about spoiler tags. If you don't...

Rule 5: Excessively bad punctuation or grammar will be treated as in the Naruto Forum.

Rule 6: And in case you were thinking of helping out folks by posting links to scanlated Bleach manga (or were thinking of asking) you will be overjoyed to know that the nice folks at Viz are selling it! We've got information on how to get it in The "Where do I buy..." Thread. If that isn't good enough for anyone, I think you know what I'll do...

Rule 7: And now that Viz has licensed Bleach with intent to air it on TV and sell DVDs, let's not mention the possibility of illicit fansubs that might or might not exist.

If you just obey those rules, treat everyone kindly and have a little common sense nobody will get hurt.

Thank you,
NoSanninWa

Viz have recently acquired Bleach which means that AnimeSuki won't longer list any torrents.

Since it is licensed the following posts are no longer allowed

• Asking where you can find Bleach downloads.
• Discussing Bleach fansub groups (past or present).
• Asking for help downloading Bleach.
• Asking for playback help for Bleach episodes.

These rules applies to fansubs (in English or any other language) and raws alike.

You still are allowed to discuss the Bleach anime and manga, that has not changed, but please remember to limit the discussion to the story.

If a Mod notices anyone breaking these rules then expect to be banned from the forums. It's unlikely a warning will be given and do not expect to be notified, you will just be banned. We've had too many people already break these rules and it's the only practical way to deal with the situation.

I would also like to note that we will close / delete threads asking for petitions as well as those threads bemoaning the fact that the series has been licensed, persistent posters will also be banned.

Please use the Report button if you notice any of the above rules being broken.

This following two-part rule will be enforced from here on:

Firstly:----

• Absolutely no manga spoilers in any anime-only threads such as the weekly Episode Discussion threads. That means, no hints, or vague remarks about a future event from the manga, even within the spoiler tags.

• The above rule also applies to any thread title that adds the tag [anime-only].

Secondly:---

If a thread title does not have the [anime-only] tag, then any spoiler needs to be put inside the spoiler tag and it has to be marked accordingly. To use clearly marked spoiler tags, simply click on this icon that can be out in the post reply or quick reply form. Fill out your reason for the spoiler tags in the pop-up box that will appear when the button is clicked. Then, put the content in between the spoiler tags, and you have yourself a clearly marked spoiler tags. Yeap! Spoiler tags are very easy to do.

---

The above rule does not apply to any thread that has the [manga] tag in the title.

Everyone is encouraged to use the report post button if any of these rules are broken. It will notify a moderator who will deal with such poster according to this rule.
