No harassment, hate speech, or circlejerking.

Regardless of their server choice, ship choice, spending habits, or use of free time, respect your fellow players. That means no revisionist history/justification of war crimes, no slurs, and no brainless kancolle hating that everyone's heard before.

Tone down the toxicity regarding new ships being released and what factions they are under.

Being salty in the comments is okay. Being salty and/or targeting and harassing other players by saying nonsense anyhow is not allowed.

Use the Megathreads.

We have Daily Question Question for Questions, a Weekly Lounge Megathread for Gacha, Oath and Dorm Screenshots. Please use them, especially if you're a new player. Repeated Trophy/Gacha Posts will net you a 1-day ban.

Art posts: Titles must include ship names, Sources must be linked, one per 24 hours. AI Art Rule

OP must always provide original source (no aggregate sites, e.g. boorus). Also applies to memes using art.

If there is more than 1 ship in the art, name the 3 most prominent.

Image galleries count as more than 1 piece of art and are not allowed.

Comic TL only applies to posts that are comics and have some interaction in dialogue (not just a few words / a sentence).

OC art is exempt from 24h rule. Abusing/misusing the OC tag will result in a 30d ban.

Magazine Edits + AI Art are not allowed.

NSFW art belongs on the Azur Lewd subreddit.

The strictness of what NSFW artwork is allowed to be post here has increased and may by subjected to removal. If it's especially NSFW, please post it in r/AzurLewd.

Artworks with visible areola or cameltoe parts will be removed.

Artworks depicting suggestive acts or items (groping, sex toys, condoms, etc.) will also be removed.

Shipgirls seen with overly inflated parts of their body will also be removed.

Cropping or censoring NSFW pictures to post them on the sub isn't allowed.

No advertising.

This includes posts showcasing dakimuras disguised as Art posts. No shop URLs or Discord server invites.

There is a channel on the official Discord for promoting your guild.

No shirt/sweatshirt posts unless it's official merch. Permaban for shirt bots.

No Merch selling. Permaban for scammers.

No account buying/selling.

Instant permaban.

Flair your posts properly, and stick to that flair.

If posting Azur Lane news related to a specific region, use the appropriate flairs. Art and meme flairs exist. Please only flair as Comic TL if you're the translator or typesetter or both (if not just flair as art). Comic TL still has to follow art rules. Don't post fanfics/RP in your art posts, make a separate thread. Not everyone wants to read a wall of text just to find an art source. Similarly, don't post fanfics/RP in other people's art posts.

All content must be related to Azur Lane. No political/off-topic/tangent conversations.

All posts should be related to Azur Lane. No discussion regarding on-going politics is allowed. This is a game gacha sub, not a politics sub. There are political subs for that. If your post is deemed not related enough, then it will be removed.

This includes Comments/Questions (Unless approved) regarding issues and Post saying you will stop playing AL/the upcoming event due to current events.

7-day Temporary Ban will be given, and subsequent offence will lead to a Permaban.

No Extremely Low-Effort Content.

No low-effort posts, such as Ark Royal loli memes, pictures of defense fleets, dorm pics, numbah wan spam.

Ultimately there's no one definition for "low effort", so moderators will use their own judgement, but a good reference is the arknights low quality content guideline.

Story/Anime/Crosswave Spoilers

Threads containing spoilers for content released less than a week ago should be tagged as a spoiler. The title of the post should also not be a spoiler.

Often there will be a megathread for discussion of the story/episode/etc. where these restrictions don't apply.

Breaking this rule will result in a 7 day ban.

Post event related content to the pinned Event Megathread when applicable.

Please check the event megathreads to see if the content you are posting belongs in said megathread.

No Repost.

No Reposts of any content whatsoever will be tolerated, even if it is "old".

Reposting art posts on multiple occasions and not deleting the post when repost bot or other users saying it's a repost with link provided, in most cases, get you a temp ban.

Do Not use the Repost Bot Flair unless you want to get perma banned for being a suspected Bot Account.

If an OC artwork gets posted but a Non-OC artwork of it got posted earlier, the Non-OC version will be removed to give priority to OC.
