Hey guys, we mods have a few things we'd like to bring to your attention. This won't take too long, and it's fairly important as it will determine whether or not your posts may receive warnings or even get deleted, so please read to the end!
First off, it should be rather obvious from the name of the community that this place is set up strictly for filesharing only. The reason graphics and scans are mentioned in the first rule on our profile is because some people may consider them files and others may not, but translations are text and thus have no place in this community.
We would also like to take this opportunity to clarify that requests to translate and/or sub files which have not already been subbed are not allowed either. Such requests belong in general Arashi communities, both of which are listed in the community profile, and not here.
While we're on the topic of requests, please do not abuse the system! Yes, requests are allowed, but that doesn't mean people should go overboard with them. Look back through the tags or in the archives to see if the same request had already been made or not. Try asking your friends if they have the file(s) first. Remember, it takes both time and effort for people to upload things for others-- the allowance to request is a privilege, not a right.
Lastly, we mods have come to a decision to change the tagging rule from optional to mandatory. You will receive a warning if you forget to tag, and repeated offenses will result in post deletion.
While we do want to keep![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
onlyarashifiles a friendly place where people can easily find what they're looking for, these rules are necessary in a community that grows larger with every passing day. The difference between a good community and a bad one lies not in how many members they have or how active they are, but how well they're run. Yes, our rules may seem stricter now, but they are ultimately set in place to make this community a better one. And if we don't enforce them, well, what's the point of having rules in the first place?
