Rules (See our Rules Page as well)

Rule 1. No advertising or spamming.
Do not advertise or spam unnecessarily. You may link to theories that are presented in video/audio.
Rule 2. All content should be related to an anime theory/theories and relevant discussion.
Theories may also be related to manga, light novels, and visual novels. (META theories are allowed as well.)
If you are posting a theory that is not your own, please try to credit the original author if possible.
Rule 3. Do not make a post just to respond to another theory - just comment in the original theory's thread.
You are free to set up your own theory about the same topic and perhaps reference the post of someone else; however, posts that just exclusively respond to a previously posted theory are not allowed.
The exception is if a theory's thread is very old (1 month old thread or older) but you want to bring attention to and discuss it - in that case, you may make a new thread to discuss the topic.
Rule 4. Thread titles must clearly say the theory or discussion topic, as well as main anime/works.
Users should be able to tell at a glance what a thread is about as well as what anime or works it will be centered on.
Rule 5. Thread bodies must put enough information to convey the theory or discussion topic.
Users should elaborate with enough information that the theory or discussion topic makes sense and is not just random or a low effort post.
If it is an image, video, or other such post, you can make a comment that adds enough information to convey and explain the theory/discussion topic.
Rule 6. Warn of possible spoilers in the title, and use spoiler tags if necessary in the body/comments.
You can tag spoilers by putting >! and !< around the text like:
```
>!Spoiler text!<
```
This would appear as >!Spoiler text!< for example. Do not put a "space" next to any of the ! exclamation marks because it breaks the tag for Old Reddit users.
Rule 7. Do not be excessively rude or mean. Be civil.
Be civil. It is fine to argue but using unnecessary curse words or insulting the person is not allowed.
Rule 8. Posts and comments with NSFW topics/pictures must be tagged NSFW.
There is a button below your thread that you can click to make tag it NSFW (Not Safe For Work).
For NSFW comments, please mention that a link or topic is NSFW and use spoiler tags if necessary.
Misc. Please also see https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy for Reddit's content policy and site-wide rules.
