The Forum Rules

[Milieva]

Hello, welcome to the Cephiro Forum!

Before participating in forum discussion, please read the rules below as well as the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. The rules are not necessarily comprehensive and are subject to change. If you have feedback or suggestions about the rules, please let us know in Help & Feedback.


All posts should be in English for moderation purposes.
Discussions about the various translations of the series with quotes are more than welcome, but the majority of text in posts should be in English.

I. Conduct

Be respectful and considerate of other members of the server.
Racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, and other general hatred and hostility will absolutely not be tolerated. Neither will distasteful comments about mental illness, disability, assault, violence, or gore

No character hate posts.
Your loathed character is likely someone else's favourite character, possibly for the very reason you dislike them.

No shipping wars.
One of the wonderful things about Magic Knight Rayearth is how the variety of characters and their interactions with one another make it easy to pair characters off in dozens of different combinations, so the chances of someone shipping a pairing you don't like are quit high. Let's be respectful of this harmless difference in opinions.


II. Profile & Signature

Keep your profile and signature appropriate.
All the customisable sections in your profile, such as personal text and your avatar, should be kept appropriate for all ages.

Keep signatures short and accessible.
This means no long paragraphs that take up a third of the visible page and no flashing gifs.


III. Content

Keep your posts readable.
While there are many different colours and fonts available to use in your posts, try to avoid using bright colours that are difficult to read for the bulk of your post.

Try to keep sexual discussion in Mature Discussion.
While the topic might come up in discussion in other boards, any explicit discussion should be moved to Mature Discussion.

Keep sexual discussion text only.

NSFW fanart is only allowed in Mature Fanart.
Keep this art on the tasteful nudity side of the mature rather than explicit sex. (To do our best to be compliant with new online safety regulations, access to Mature Fanart will require age verification. Contact us at cephiro@psynos.net if you are willing to prove you are over 18 to request access.)

Don't make current event specific posts.
While it is obviously impossible to completely shed the reality of the world and the events happening around us, let's try to keep discussion of them off the boards. Let's try to keep this place an escape rather than a place to vent.

Credit art that is not yours.
If sharing art for discussion that you did not make, you MUST credit the artist by sharing their name and a link to their social media or other web profile. The artist reserves the right to request it be taken down, especially if they did not give permission for it to be shared.

Do not share any art or fiction made by generative AI.

Do not share links to merchandise that uses CLAMP's art without permission.
When in doubt, remember that officially licensed products will be announced on CLAMP's social media channels and website, https://clamp-net.com/.

Avoid discussing piracy or linking to pirated content.
This even includes linking to those big manga aggregator websites when recommending mangas. If you want to suggest other members read a manga, simply share the title and author and they can work out how they want to read it themselves. 


IV. Forum Etiquette

Replies should make a contribution to the conversation.
Try to reply with at least a whole sentence or two, rather a couple words.

Stay on topic.
Keep your replies related to the topic of the starting post. If, while replying to a thread, you feel the urge to go off-topic, consider starting a new discussion thread instead.

Different topics should be their own threads.
If you have multiple unrelated topics you want to discuss, start multiple topic threads. Do not combine a half-dozen discussion topics in one post. Starting multiple different discussion threads does not count as spamming the forum.

Wait 36hours to double-post.
Due to the slow nature of discussion in a small forum like this, it is not uncommon to have a new idea that would lead you to respond to a thread where you were the last person to respond. For the first 36 hours of that last reply, consider simply editing your last reply instead.

• The exception to this rule would be posts in a thread that is tracking your progress through a game or a creative endeavour.

V. Warnings and Bans

To keep the forums a safe and welcoming space, we have to respond to rule breaking.

If you break or deliberately ignore the rules, you will receive a warning. Your 3rd offence will result in a ban. You will always be notified the moderation team with an explanation about why you received a warning or a ban.

You will be banned immediately without warnings if you:

• Spam forum-wide
• Attempt to dox or make violent and disturbing threats/advances towards any individual
• Created a new account to evade a previous ban
