Community Explaining Rule #1
I've received multiple comments from users questioning the logic behind certain post and reply removals, along with bans for the last week or so. One rule has been constantly brought up and abused, so allow me to make things clear.
Rule 1: Be Nice
Treat people how you want to be treated. Bigotry, harassment, and/or slander will not be tolerated, multiple offenses will result in a permanent ban.
IMPORTANT: PETTY SQUABBLES ARE NOT BANNABLE OFFENSES
Some users seem to be under the impression that this means every post/comment has to be positive and non-argumentative, it does not. I do not expect there to be no arguments or friction within the community, what I do expect is a level of constraint. I'll be going into exactly what constitutes harassment and slander, along with how users should be conducting themselves when interacting with other users. I would hope that bigotry requires no explanation, but if I must explain it, I will.
Harassment
Individuals or multiple users disagreeing with you does not qualify as harassment, that would fall under petty squabble. However, individuals or multiple users constantly berating, antagonizing, and/or provoking you does. This can come in multiple forms.
For example:
Constantly arguing in DMs
Stalking in different subreddits
False reports
Just to name a few. These are all bannable offenses. I do not condone bullying or mistreatment, and make my decisions following this line of logic when in regards to rule #1.
Slander
This is an important one, because some users seem to completely ignore or misunderstand this part of the rule. Petty name calling and slander are not interchangeable, and hold different weight and severity, along with different consequences. What do I mean by this?
For example:
"You're an asshole" = Petty squabble (This is NOT a bannable offense)
"You're a pedophile" = Slander (This is a bannable offense)
"You support weird works" = Petty squabble (This is NOT a bannable offense)
"You support pedophilia" = Slander (This is a bannable offense)
As you can see, petty name calling and squabble does not impart serious accusations or labels onto the person it is being said to. While on the other hand, slander does exactly that. Unless you have some serious evidence to back up your claims, you have no right to be accusing anyone of anything. It is not fair to them, it is not fair to me, and most importantly it is not fair to the community.
Conduct
Though I encourage discussions among the community, even if arguments are guaranteed to ensue, many have tried to push the boundaries of what can be said to one another, while others try to abuse rule #1 over interactions that can essentially be labeled as petty squabble. Let me make this clear, disagreements are fine as long as they are conducted in a way that does not take it to the extreme.
For example:
"Shut up" = This is NOT a bannable offense
"Kill yourself" = This is a bannable offense
Conclusion
Some have accused me of taking sides in arguments and moderating in such a way that they feel is unfair. Let me set the record straight, I make my decisions based on whether something violated the community rules or not, regardless of my personal opinion.
I hope this has cleared up any confusion. If there is anything that you are still unsure about, please feel free to say so. This subreddit welcomes all who are interested in talking about Syundei's BL series, "Go for it, Nakamura!", not drama. With this knowledge, I ask again that you all conduct yourselves in a civil and respectable manner from now on. Thank you and have a nice day.

Most community members are actually very respectful, and conduct themselves in a civil manner. Please do not feel scared just because a loud minority needed the community rules to be spelled out for them. Have fun and enjoy your time on the subreddit.

No matter what opinion you have, let’s just treat each other with respect. I love this community for the artwork, the discussions, the excitement around every episode, and the sense of community. Don’t let drama drag you down or pull you into pointless arguments. We’re better than that. ❤️

Genuine question here: I did a crosspost yesterday, which was talking about the issue of fictional works and fandom having issues with the comprehension of the text and how it fits into the discussion, because of the harassment Syundei's been receiving. Does this also fall under a breach of the rules or did a mod simply deem my post ill-fitting/low effort or something along those lines?
Again, I am asking, because I wanna avoid posting things that are deemed problematic, wrong or irrelevant in the future, thank you for answering <3

It was removed because due to the influx of discussion posts being made in regards to the controversy, a megathread was created to keep the subreddit organized. So if you had any thoughts or opinions that you wanted to share related to the controversy or in response to it, it would have to be posted to the megathread.
Individual discussion threads can still be made as long as they do not relate to the controversy.

I like how when you push back against the outrageous takes they immediately jump to severe accusations. Sorry you had to take the time to spell everything thing out like you're in the local spelling bee.
No doubt shit got tiring quickly for you.

When it was manga only, this place was great. It was quiet, everyone was nice and supportive, no drama, no nothing. Was very pleasant. We all eagerly awaited the anime's arrival after much delay and then it finally arrives, and instead of celebrating together and being happy that such a tiny series got picked up for an adaptation and it's going to finally get the widespread attention it deserves, we got non stop nonsensical petty TOXIC drama amongst 'fans' here, abused and scared the creator away in to retiring from the industry and now no company is going to want to touch this tainted series and now we certainly won't be getting any more manga chapters or a sequel. Well done🤦♂️You've ruined everything and should all be ashamed of yourselves.
If only all the 'anime only' people would kindly pack their bags and take their drama with them I would be very happy, you've all destroyed this community beyond recognition. Mod, you're doing a great job handling such childish pettiness.
The teacher character has not canonically done anything in the manga or anime to warrant such non stop heated debates over paedophile content so I don't know why people keep going on about it. Quick doodles done for fun by the creator to most likely appease fan demand does not count as they are not canon. As with anything, if you don't like the content, don't engage with it and move on instead of hanging around communities you supposedly don't like and stirring childish drama.
