Definitions

NSFH: Content that might be considered offensive or too sexually explicit for the wide range of age groups on Honey’s Anime's user base. This includes, but is not limited to: erotic, excessively violent, bigoted and harmful content.

1. Erotic: Nudity, implied sexual acts, bodily fluids.
2. Violent: Gore, disembowelment, dismemberment, torture.
3. Bigoted: Irrationally hateful content aimed at, or relating to, any group or individual.
4. Harmful: Seizure images.

Spam:

1. Content without any purpose, coherency or relevance whatsoever.
2. Off-topic posts that derail a thread from its original topic.
3. Reaction images/videos and other images with no relevance to the discussion.

Trolling: Starting arguments or upsetting users by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the intent of provoking users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. (Source: Wikipedia)

Insults (abuse): An insult is a derogatory remark that labels an individual or group of users. Name-calling is not productive and typically derails the topic by turning the discussion to the credibility of the user(s). It never convinces the other party and often provokes a similar reaction from other posters. The resulting commotion is ineffective for the offender, offensive for the target, distracting for spectators and tiring for moderators.

Advertising: Posting content with the intent to attract visitors to another location, either an external site or another location on Honey’s Anime.

Impersonation: Intentionally posting as another user or staff member by copying their signature, avatar, profile picture and/or choosing a username that may be confused for another.
