The rules are subject to change at any time, and ultimately serve as guidelines. Moderator and admin discretion is final.
Do not evade moderation (bans, file/post deletion, etc).
Unless otherwise stated, all boards are "safe-for-work". Do not post sexual content of an explicit or borderline nature. Artistic nudity that is not intended to arouse may be posted in moderation, but should be spoilered.
Do not post "shock content" that is deliberately meant solely to offend or disgust.
Do not encourage or engage in hateful or bigoted behavior. The use of any slur directed towards minority groups is highly likely to result in moderation, regardless of intent.
Do not promote or participate in personal harassment or community "raids".
Do not "flood" or spam the site with low-quality or repetitive posts.
Do not make "bait" threads in bad faith meant to incite pointless conflict or anger.
Avoid creating duplicate threads about the same topic. Use the board's catalog to check for existing threads before starting a new one.
Use spoiler tags for applicable images and text, erring on the side of caution. Make sure it's clear what the spoilers are for if it isn't obvious from the context.
The posting guidelines (included in the section below this one), while not as clear-cut as the rules, should be considered when posting. Patterns of posting that run against the spirit of the guidelines may result in moderation.
Do not post jak memes or derivatives, and avoid using excessive jak lingo.
Posting Guidelines
Consider the goal of your post before posting. Is it funny, informative, interesting, emotionally resonant, or helping to foster human connection?
Strive to post files that are of high (subjective) quality. Avoid reusing files that are commonly posted, or that users have likely already seen. Sharing your own original content is highly encouraged.
Be nice. Post in good faith, with empathy for others. Don't personally attack other users, or engage in pointless conflict.
Please be mindful of site culture when posting. Avoid importing content or trends from other sites wholesale if they may not fit the spirit of Marzichan (Pepes, Wojaks, etc).
Users are encouraged to contribute to the community spirit by posting anonymously when a name or tripcode is not necessary.
