Community Standards

Rules & Guidelines

General Conduct

Our community is built on a shared passion for anime. Treat everyone with basic dignity and kindness. We do not tolerate toxic behaviors that drive users away or poison discussion boards.

What is Allowed

  • Respectfully disagreeing with another user's review or theory.
  • Debating which anime adaptation is better using sound arguments.
  • Expressing dislike for characters or plotlines without attacking users who like them.

Strictly Forbidden

  • Directly insulting other users ("You have terrible taste, you are an idiot").
  • Engaging in flame wars or deliberately baiting others to get angry.
  • Discrimination, sexism, racism, or xenophobia.

Repeatedly targeting any individual with malicious intent, unwanted messages, or tracking their behavior across threads is harassment and will result in an immediate account ban.

What is Allowed

  • Replying to multiple public comments of a user within a relevant thread.
  • Blocking or muting a user you do not wish to interact with anymore.

Strictly Forbidden

  • Following a user to unrelated anime threads to mock or provoke them.
  • Encouraging a group of users to report or downvote someone's profile.
  • Doxxing (revealing private personal details like name, address, IP).

Comments & Behavior

Comment sections are designed for discussing specific anime episodes, chapters, characters, and animations. Off-topic rants, arguments about politics, or general spam make comment sections unreadable.

What is Allowed

  • Sharing time stamps of your favorite moments in the episode.
  • Analyzing animation frame drops, music compositions, and pacing.
  • Answering queries from other users who didn't understand the plot.

Strictly Forbidden

  • Posting generic walls of text, ASCII art, or copy-pasted copypastas.
  • Hijacking comments to talk about political news or social issues.
  • Bumping or flooding comment feeds with random characters.

While we allow swearing for emotional emphasis in reviews, we draw a hard line on hate speech, racial, religious, or sexual slurs, and comments containing extreme vulgarity.

What is Allowed

  • Casual swearing (e.g., "Holy s*** that fight scene was insane!").
  • Expressing strong emotional reactions to dramatic plot deaths.

Strictly Forbidden

  • Using slurs targeting identity groups, nationalities, or sexualities.
  • Threatening others with harm or suicide ("kill yourself" remarks).
  • Typing blocks of text consisting entirely of offensive words.

Content & Spoilers

Nothing ruins the anime experience faster than unexpected spoilers. If you are discussing events from the manga, light novel, or future episodes, you MUST hide them using the spoiler markdown tag.

What is Allowed

  • Discussing the current episode's events freely in its dedicated discussion thread.
  • Using markup like ||spoiler text|| to hide manga information.

Strictly Forbidden

  • Posting manga deaths or final boss reveals in Episode 1 comment boxes.
  • Putting spoilers inside the non-hidden title or start of a comment.
  • Deliberately spoiling users who ask questions about future events.

ReAnime is an open community. Highly explicit media (hentai, gore, illegal content, extreme fanservice pictures, or offensive drawings) in profile photos or comment embeds is strictly prohibited.

What is Allowed

  • Standard anime screenshots containing minor/moderate fanservice if typical of the broadcast show.
  • Avatars of popular characters in standard outfits.

Strictly Forbidden

  • Profile pictures or comment images containing uncensored adult content.
  • Real-world gore, violence, or hate-group symbolism.
  • Linking to secondary albums containing NSFW galleries.

Account & Moderation

If your account is suspended or banned for violating rules, creating a new account to continue posting will result in automatic IP/Hardware blacklisting and reports to ISPs if required.

What is Allowed

  • Submitting a formal ban appeal ticket using your original email address.
  • Owning secondary accounts for separate devices if not used to bypass moderator actions.

Strictly Forbidden

  • Creating a "V2" account immediately after being banned to abuse comments.
  • Using VPNs or proxies specifically to dodge active IP restrictions.

Moderators have the final say on content removals, warnings, and bans. Attacking moderators, spamming appeal pipelines, or making public drama posts about warnings is unacceptable.

What is Allowed

  • Politely messaging the support desk to clarify a warning you received.
  • Accepting moderation correction and editing your comment to remove violations.

Strictly Forbidden

  • Sending threatening DM messages to specific moderators.
  • Creating fake reports on other users in retaliation for a moderator action.
