We try to keep BakaBT a place where anime fans can meet and discuss anime in a broad sense. To make sure BakaBT stays a happy community we need your assistance, please follow the rules stated below:<br />
<br />
<b>When posting on the forums the following rules apply:</b><br />
* NO spam, one-word posts or double-posts (posting twice in a row).<br />
* Topics must stay <u>on topic</u>. Discussion threads that stray off-topic will be locked if warnings are not heeded.<br />
* Type in comprehensible English (this means NO txt tlk and no 1337 5p34|<). If you don't, members are obliged to ignore you.<br />

* NO making threads about locked threads.<br />
* NO linking to sites/trackers containing [[Blacklist|blacklisted]] material.<br />
* When asking for help or support in the support forums, give as much detailed information as you can.<br />
** If you're having issues with your torrent client, tell us which client you are using, which torrents you are having problems with, and give us some information about your connection settings, as well as ISP. More information is always welcome.<br />
** if you're having issues with playback, tell us what '''operating system''' you are using, which '''video player''' you are using, what your '''hardware specifications''' (CPU, chipset, GPU) are, which '''video file''' you are having problems with, and what the '''problem''' is (stuttering video? audio/video desync? subtitles not displaying), in detail.<br />
** Note that we are not a support forum for generic software/hardware issues (there are better places for that).

<div>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC '''IRC'''] ('''Internet Relay Chat''') is something that, if you stay online long enough, you will have to fool around with. It's a real-time internet chat where users chat with each other in ''channels'' which are located on a server (which house hundreds if not thousands of different channels). It's often the fastest way to get in touch with another person on BakaBT since many idles the IRC, which is not the case with the forum.<br />
<br />
There are two official BakaBT IRC channels on the rizon IRC network: [irc://irc.rizon.net/BakaBT #BakaBT] and [irc://irc.rizon.net/bakabt-support #bakabt-support].<br />
<br />
==If you're new to IRC==<br />
If you've read the [[FAQ]] and your question isn't in there, or you have an account issue you need help with (i.e. something you can't solve by yourself even if you know how to), the support channel is a relatively quick way to get the help you need.<br />
<br />
Make sure you read the [[Rules#IRC Guidelines|IRC Rules]] before joining the channels.<br />
<br />
===5-Step Guide to getting on #bakabt-support===<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Go to [http://chat.Rizon.net Rizon's webchat] page.</li><br />
<li>Type your BakaBT username in the first field (makes things easier for us; the easier it is for us to help you, the more likely we are to do so).</li><br />
<li>Type '''bakabt-support''' in the second field.</li><br />
<li>Click 'Chat Now'.</li><br />
<li>If you get a pop-up dialog box saying '"The application's digital signature cannot be verified"', click '''Run/Ok'''.</li><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
===What you need to know about #bakabt-support===<br />
# The typing area is at the bottom of the page, just above the box labelled '''Public'''.<br />
# Users with '''%''' beside their name are channel half-operators (a.k.a. half-ops, hops, etc). Usually also site moderators, or site admin whose status hasn't been updated yet.<br />
# Users with '''&''', '''@''' or '''~''' beside their name are channel admin, operators and owner respectively. Usually also site admin, unless they're bots.<br />
# Users with '''+''' beside their name are "voiced" users. Voice is a status given to users by half-operators or admins. Users voiced on #bakabt-support are users recognised by BakaBT staff to be helpful in the support channel.<br />

===ChatZilla===<br />
One of the easiest clients to use, if you use Firefox. Since its a Firefox plug-in, it should work on any operating system. If you want a simple, clean IRC client to get in and out, ChatZilla will work fine.<br /><br />
====Installation====<br />
Follow this [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16 link]. Then just hit the big green button that says "Add to Firefox". Give it permission to install, let Firefox restart, and it's installed. To use, just go to the "Tools" drop down menu in Firefox and select "ChatZilla".<br />
<br />

XChat is an IRC client that rivals mIRC not only in power but also in popularity. <br />
<br />
It was originally completely free and open-source, but now it only remains free for Linux. <br />
<br />
The Windows version is available to try at the homepage, while there is a version compiled by someone else (for free) available at [http://www.silverex.org/ silverex].<br />
Keep in mind that the latest free compiled version is still many steps behind the latest official release, and that it is compiled from the Linux source (freely available), rather than the source used in official Windows releases, meaning that free compiled versions may not function as well as the official releases. <br />

<br />
===Mibbit Webchat===<br />
For those who don't want to install more software on their computer, Mibbit is the solution. You can register an account to store all your servers and channels so you don't have to do it each time you go to the site, but you can always use it without an account. <br />

<br />
===Rizon Webchat===<br />
For even greater convenience, you can use Rizon's Webchat client. It only allows access to channels on irc.rizon.net, but if you're just looking for a quick way to get onto #BakaBT or #bakabt-support through a browser this is your best bet.<br />
<br />
Since the server is automatically set to irc.rizon.net, you can bypass the "/server" step in the instructions below.<br />
<br />
[http://chat.Rizon.net/ Rizon Chat]<br />
<br />
==Connecting to BakaBT==<br />
'''Most guides here were made with ChatZilla in mind!'''<br />
<br />
BakaBT uses the IRC server:<br />
:irc.rizon.net<br />
The main chatroom is: <br />
:BakaBT<br />
And the support room is:<br />
:bakabt-support<br />
<br />
===How to connect to #BakaBT===<br />
*Start your IRC client<br />
*Enter the Nickname you want into the bottom left button, beside the input bar.<br />
*Now, to join the server. Type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/server irc.rizon.net<br />
*If your nickname hasn't been used yet (by you or another person) it will tell you the nickname needs to be registered.<br />To do this type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/msg nickserv register your_password your_email<br />
Where "your_password" is the password you want, and "your_email" is your e-mail address.<br />
An activation code will be sent to your email address (used for registration). Read the email, type the command into IRC and your nickname will be registered (one nickname/group of nicknames per email address).<br />
Registration is not usually required to join a channel, but some channels explicitly require one (such as #BakaBT).<br />
*The battle is done at this point! To connect to a channel, so you can talk to people, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/join #BakaBT<br />
<br />
=== How to reconnect to #BakaBT===<br />
*Start your IRC client<br />
*Your Nickname should still be in your client, so leave that part alone.<br />
*To join the server again, type (or copy/paste)into the input bar:<br />
:/server irc.rizon.net<br />
*Instead of asking you to register this time though, it will ask for your password. To do that, just type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password<br />
Just replace "password" with the password you gave when registering.<br />
*Now, you can reconnect to the chat room by typing (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/join #BakaBT<br />
<br />
===How to auto-connect, auto-join and auto-identify===<br />
To auto-connect a server, select the tab of the server you wish to auto-connect to in the future (you must have a window open assigned to that server in the first place!). Right click within the window, and select 'Open this network on startup'. <br />
<br />
To auto-join a channel, select the tab of the channel you wish to auto-join in the future. Right click within the window and select 'Open this channel on startup'.<br />
<br />
To auto-identify, go to the toolbar at the top, click Chatzilla -> Preferences -> Select the server in the panel on the left (in this case irc.rizon.net) -> click the 'Lists' tab -> Press 'Add...' in the Auto-perform section -> Fill in the following (remember to replace "password" with whatever your password is!): <br/><br />
:/msg nickserv identify "password"<br />
<br />
===Connecting to different channels===<br />
To connect to another channel when first starting up, just replace #BakaBT with the channel you want (like #bakabt-support). If your already connected, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br /><br />
:/join #channelname<br />
Where "#channelname" is the channel-which-you-want-to-connect-to's name.</div>Malushttp://wiki.bakabt.me/index.php?title=IRC&diff=1560IRC2009-06-16T17:21:09Z<p>Malus: </p>
<hr />
<div>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC '''IRC'''] ('''Internet Relay Chat''') is something that, if you stay online long enough, you will have to fool around with. It's a real-time internet chat where users chat with each other in ''channels'' which are located on a server (which house hundreds if not thousands of different channels). It's often the fastest way to get in touch with another person on BakaBT since many idles the IRC, which is not the case with the forum.<br />
<br />
There are two official BakaBT IRC channels on the rizon IRC network: [irc://irc.rizon.net/BakaBT #BakaBT] and [irc://irc.rizon.net/bakabt-support #bakabt-support].<br />
<br />
==If you're new to IRC==<br />
If you've read the [[FAQ]] and your question isn't in there, or you have an account issue you need help with (i.e. something you can't solve by yourself even if you know how to), the support channel is a relatively quick way to get the help you need.<br />
<br />
Make sure you read the [[Rules#IRC Guidelines|IRC Rules]] before joining the channels.<br />
<br />
===5-Step Guide to getting on #bakabt-support===<br />
<ol><br />
<li>Go to [http://chat.dairc.net daIRC's webchat] page.</li><br />
<li>Type your BakaBT username in the first field (makes things easier for us; the easier it is for us to help you, the more likely we are to do so).</li><br />
<li>Type '''bakabt-support''' in the second field.</li><br />
<li>Click 'Chat Now'.</li><br />
<li>If you get a pop-up dialog box saying '"The application's digital signature cannot be verified"', click '''Run/Ok'''.</li><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
===What you need to know about #bakabt-support===<br />
# The typing area is at the bottom of the page, just above the box labelled '''Public'''.<br />
# Users with '''%''' beside their name are channel half-operators (a.k.a. half-ops, hops, etc). Usually also site moderators, or site admin whose status hasn't been updated yet.<br />
# Users with '''&''', '''@''' or '''~''' beside their name are channel admin, operators and owner respectively. Usually also site admin, unless they're bots.<br />
# Users with '''+''' beside their name are "voiced" users. Voice is a status given to users by half-operators or admins. Users voiced on #bakabt-support are users recognised by BakaBT staff to be helpful in the support channel.<br />
# Users with no symbol beside their names are (most likely) normal users.<br />
# Users may offer help and advice with regards to fixing your ratio or finding good torrents to seed. However, only staff will be able to do anything about your account.<br />
# '''Navi''' is not an admin. It is a bot, and it won't talk to you. It only responds to '''? rules''' (channel rules), '''? commands''' (available commands), '''? FAQ''' (link to FAQ) and '''? Wiki''' (link to Wiki), as well as any other commands that may have been added.<br />

The Windows version is available to try at the homepage, while there is a version compiled by someone else (for free) available at [http://www.silverex.org/ silverex].<br />
Keep in mind that the latest free compiled version is still many steps behind the latest official release, and that it is compiled from the Linux source (freely available), rather than the source used in official Windows releases, meaning that free compiled versions may not function as well as the official releases. <br />

===Mibbit Webchat===<br />
For those who don't want to install more software on their computer, Mibbit is the solution. You can register an account to store all your servers and channels so you don't have to do it each time you go to the site, but you can always use it without an account. <br />

===daIRC Webchat===<br />
For even greater convenience, you can use daIRC's Webchat client. It only allows access to channels on irc.rizon.net, but if you're just looking for a quick way to get onto #BakaBT or #box-support through a browser this is your best bet.<br />
<br />
Since the server is automatically set to irc.rizon.net, you can bypass the "/server" step in the instructions below.<br />
<br />
[http://chat.dairc.net/ daIRC Chat]<br />
<br />
==Connecting to BakaBT==<br />
'''Most guides here were made with ChatZilla in mind!'''<br />
<br />
BakaBT uses the IRC server:<br />
:irc.rizon.net<br />
The main chatroom is: <br />
:BakaBT<br />
And the support room is:<br />
:box-support<br />
<br />
===How to connect to #BakaBT===<br />
*Start your IRC client<br />
*Enter the Nickname you want into the bottom left button, beside the input bar.<br />
*Now, to join the server. Type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/server irc.rizon.net<br />
*If your nickname hasn't been used yet (by you or another person) it will tell you the nickname needs to be registered.<br />To do this type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/msg nickserv register your_password your_email<br />
Where "your_password" is the password you want, and "your_email" is your e-mail address.<br />
An activation code will be sent to your email address (used for registration). Read the email, type the command into IRC and your nickname will be registered (one nickname/group of nicknames per email address).<br />
Registration is not usually required to join a channel, but some channels explicitly require one (such as #BakaBT).<br />
*The battle is done at this point! To connect to a channel, so you can talk to people, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/join #BakaBT<br />
<br />
=== How to reconnect to #BakaBT===<br />
*Start your IRC client<br />
*Your Nickname should still be in your client, so leave that part alone.<br />
*To join the server again, type (or copy/paste)into the input bar:<br />
:/server irc.rizon.net<br />
*Instead of asking you to register this time though, it will ask for your password. To do that, just type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password<br />
Just replace "password" with the password you gave when registering.<br />
*Now, you can reconnect to the chat room by typing (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br />
:/join #BakaBT<br />
<br />
===How to auto-connect, auto-join and auto-identify===<br />
To auto-connect a server, select the tab of the server you wish to auto-connect to in the future (you must have a window open assigned to that server in the first place!). Right click within the window, and select 'Open this network on startup'. <br />
<br />
To auto-join a channel, select the tab of the channel you wish to auto-join in the future. Right click within the window and select 'Open this channel on startup'.<br />
<br />
To auto-identify, go to the toolbar at the top, click Chatzilla -> Preferences -> Select the server in the panel on the left (in this case irc.rizon.net) -> click the 'Lists' tab -> Press 'Add...' in the Auto-perform section -> Fill in the following (remember to replace "password" with whatever your password is!): <br/><br />
:/msg nickserv identify "password"<br />
<br />
===Connecting to different channels===<br />
To connect to another channel when first starting up, just replace #BakaBT with the channel you want (like #box-support). If your already connected, type (or copy/paste) into the input bar:<br /><br />
:/join #channelname<br />
Where "#channelname" is the channel-which-you-want-to-connect-to's name.</div>Malushttp://wiki.bakabt.me/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=798Main Page2008-12-03T17:44:49Z<p>Malus: </p>

<br />
<br />
===Torrent Content Upload Guidelines===<br />
<br />
You are only allowed to upload (completed) anime and manga or related material: Series, OST, Movie, OVA, Manga, Hentai, Official Artbook. We also allow Live Action adaptations of anime/manga and OSTs from anime/manga related Games or Live Action shows. We typically only allow one version of a show but we also allow an additional dual audio (DVD) version and an HD version (720p and up).<br />
<br />
Not allowed<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>Loli/shota material* (that means no linking to it either!)</li><br />
<li>Anything on the [[DO NOT UPLOAD]] list.</li><br />
<li>Titles licensed by ADV, Central Park Media and Funimation.</li><br />
<li>Incomplete series (we do allow seasons or arcs if the show/manga in question is very long).</li><br />
<li>We do not permit non-Japanese dubs of a show unless:</li><br />
</ol><br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square; padding-left:15px;"><br />
<li>It is the original language (such as Afro Samurai)</li><br />
<li>There is no other version available (i.e., the show is very rare)</li><br />
<li>It is accompanied by the original dub (dual audio)</li><br />
</ol><br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>Fan made material including doujinshi (artbooks and manga MUST be official).</li><br />
<li>Games (including anime-related or anime-styled).</li><br />
<li>ISOs (including DVD-rips of anime).</li><br />
<li>Videos not packaged in .mkv, .avi, .ogm, .mp4 (exceptions will only be granted if no other version is available)</li><br />

</ol><br />
If we see someone uploading a loli/shota torrent (will be judged by forum users and moderators) the torrent will be removed and the user will be sent a warning. A ban may be incurred if uploading is found to be deliberate or if the user has had at least 2 warnings before.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Preferences===<br />
In general we prefer:<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>h264 encodes over XviD encodes because h264 is more space efficient.</li><br />
<li>XviD, DivX or h264 encodes, other codecs are not widely supported and accepted (this includes but is not limited to MPEG, WMV, RM, QT and Indeo).</li><br />
<li>(styled) softsubs over hardsubs.</li><br />
<li>FLAC as a lossless format for soundtracks (OSTs) because FLAC has wide support and is not proprietary.</li><br />
<li>that you do not add archives to your torrent unless uploading manga. Refer to the FAQ for more information.</li><br />
<li>that you do not offer files released by speed fansubbers or otherwise inferior quality releases when high quality will be available in the near future.</li><br />
</ol><br />
Offers may be rejected if they do not match our preferences.<br />
<br />
Also, torrent files need to be flagged as private before being offered. Any torrent that is not flagged private will be immediately rejected. <br />
<br />
With regards to your torrent description, please refer to our FAQ for guidelines.<br />
As with forum regulations, no advertising will be permitted in torrent descriptions. If any is found or reported, the uploader will be warned for a minimum of 4 weeks. Repeat offenses will result in a ban.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Tracker Avatar Guidelines===<br />
<br />
Avatar image size limit:<br />
Keep in mind that avatars will be resized to 100px by 100px regardless of their original aspect ratio.<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />

<li>maximum width : none</li><br />

<br />
<br />
===Torrent Content Upload Guidelines===<br />
<br />
You are only allowed to upload (completed) anime and manga or related material: Series, OST, Movie, OVA, Manga, Hentai, Official Artbook. We also allow Live Action adaptations of anime/manga and OSTs from anime/manga related Games or Live Action shows. We typically only allow one version of a show but we also allow an additional dual audio (DVD) version and an HD version (720p and up).<br />
<br />
Not allowed<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>Loli/shota material* (that means no linking to it either!)</li><br />
<li>Anything on the [[DO NOT UPLOAD]] list.</li><br />
<li>Titles licensed by ADV, Central Park Media and Funimation.</li><br />
<li>Incomplete series (we do allow seasons or arcs if the show/manga in question is very long).</li><br />
<li>We do not permit non-Japanese dubs of a show unless:</li><br />
</ol><br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square; padding-left:15px;"><br />
<li>It is the original language (such as Afro Samurai)</li><br />
<li>There is no other version available (i.e., the show is very rare)</li><br />
<li>It is accompanied by the original dub (dual audio)</li><br />
</ol><br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>Fan made material including doujinshi (artbooks and manga MUST be official).</li><br />
<li>Games (including anime-related or anime-styled).</li><br />
<li>ISOs (including DVD-rips of anime).</li><br />
<li>Videos not packaged in .mkv, .avi, .ogm, .mp4 (exceptions will only be granted if no other version is available)</li><br />
<li>Audio not encoded in .mp3 or a lossless codec for music.</li><br />
<li>Any releases from Dattebayo.</li><br />
<li>Anything released by Anime-4ever, Anime-HQ and Anime-Supreme may only be uploaded by the appropriate group's appointed distro members.</li><br />
<li>When making a description, do not hotlink images without permission. You may hotlink images from sites that expressly allow hotlinking.</li><br />
</ol><br />
If we see someone uploading a loli/shota torrent (will be judged by forum users and moderators) the torrent will be removed and the user will be sent a warning. A ban may be incurred if uploading is found to be deliberate or if the user has had at least 2 warnings before.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Preferences===<br />
In general we prefer:<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>h264 encodes over XviD encodes because h264 is more space efficient.</li><br />
<li>XviD, DivX or h264 encodes, other codecs are not widely supported and accepted (this includes but is not limited to MPEG, WMV, RM, QT and Indeo).</li><br />
<li>(styled) softsubs over hardsubs.</li><br />
<li>FLAC as a lossless format for soundtracks (OSTs) because FLAC has wide support and is not proprietary.</li><br />
<li>that you do not add archives to your torrent unless uploading manga. Refer to the FAQ for more information.</li><br />
<li>that you do not offer files released by speed fansubbers or otherwise inferior quality releases when high quality will be available in the near future.</li><br />
</ol><br />
Offers may be rejected if they do not match our preferences.<br />
<br />
Also, torrent files need to be flagged as private before being offered. Any torrent that is not flagged private will be immediately rejected. <br />
<br />
With regards to your torrent description, please refer to our FAQ for guidelines.<br />
As with forum regulations, no advertising will be permitted in torrent descriptions. If any is found or reported, the uploader will be warned for a minimum of 4 weeks. Repeat offenses will result in a ban.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Tracker Avatar Guidelines===<br />
<br />
Avatar image size limit:<br />
Keep in mind that avatars will be resized to 100px by 100px regardless of their original aspect ratio.<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>maximum height : none</li><br />
<li>maximum width : none</li><br />
<li>maximum file size : 100kb</li><br />

<br />
===Forum Guidelines===<br />
<br />
We try to keep BoxTorrents a place where anime fans can meet and discuss anime in a broad sense. To make sure BoxTorrents stays a happy community we need your assistance, please follow the rules stated below:<br />
<br />
When posting on the forums the following rules apply:<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<br />
<li> NO spam.</li><br />
<li>No one word posts.</li><br />
<li>No double posts.</li><br />
<li>Topics must REMAIN ON TOPIC (if it strays off topic, staff will warn, if it continues staff will lock the thread).</li><br />

<li>When asking for help or support, be sure to give AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. Simply posting saying 'Hi, I have a problem. Help' is both time-wasting and irritating. Give as much relevant information as you can (such as computer hardware stats,, your OS, your torrent client, your internet connection stats, and the torrent in question).</li><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
When addressing staff remember the following:<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<br />

<li>We boxtorrents.com will NOT tolerate anybody disrespecting any of our staff members.<br />
(doing so may result in a possible ban.)</li><br />

<br />
</ol><br />
Staff code of conduct:<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>A warning will be issued before taking any immediate action (such as bannings or locking threads).</li><br />

===Torrent Content Upload Guidelines===<br />
<br />
You are only allowed to upload (completed) anime and manga or related material: Series, OST, Movie, OVA, Manga, Hentai, Official Artbook. We also allow Live Action adaptations of anime/manga and OSTs from anime/manga related Games or Live Action shows. We typically only allow one version of a show but we also allow an additional dual audio (DVD) version and an HD version (720p and up).<br />
<br />
Not allowed<br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>Loli/shota material* (that means no linking to it either!)</li><br />
<li>Anything on the [[DO NOT UPLOAD]] list.</li><br />
<li>Titles licensed by ADV, Central Park Media and Funimation.</li><br />
<li>Incomplete series (we do allow seasons or arcs if the show/manga in question is very long).</li><br />
<li>We do not permit non-Japanese dubs of a show unless:</li><br />
</ol><br />
<li><ol><br />
<li>It is the original language (such as Afro Samurai)</li><br />
<li>There is no other version available (i.e., the show is very rare)</li><br />
<li>It is accompanied by the original dub (dual audio)</li><br />
</li></ol><br />
<ol style="list-style-type: square"><br />
<li>Fan made material including doujinshi (artbooks and manga MUST be official).</li><br />
<li>Games (including anime-related or anime-styled).</li><br />
<li>ISOs (including DVD-rips of anime).</li><br />
<li>Videos not packaged in .mkv, .avi, .ogm, .mp4 (exceptions will only be granted if no other version is available)</li><br />
<li>Audio not encoded in .mp3 or a lossless codec for music.</li><br />
<li>Any releases from Dattebayo.</li><br />
<li>Anything released by Anime-4ever, Anime-HQ and Anime-Supreme may only be uploaded by the appropriate group's appointed distro members.</li><br />
<li>When making a description, do not hotlink images without permission. You may hotlink images from sites that expressly allow hotlinking.</li><br />
</ol><br />
If we see someone uploading a loli/shota torrent (will be judged by forum users and moderators) the torrent will be removed and the user will be sent a warning. A ban may be incurred if uploading is found to be deliberate or if the user has had at least 2 warnings before.<br />
<br />

* its current limit is 255 characters (letters allowed to be typed. I'm considering changing the limit so you can add a bit more)<br />

<br />
===Torrent Content Upload Guidelines===<br />
<br />
You are only allowed to upload (completed) anime and manga or related material: Series, OST, Movie, OVA, Manga, Hentai, Official Artbook. We also allow Live Action adaptations of anime/manga and OSTs from anime/manga related Games or Live Action shows. We typically only allow one version of a show but we also allow an additional dual audio (DVD) version and an HD version (720p and up).<br />
<br />
Not allowed<br />
<br />
* Loli/shota material* (that means no linking to it either!)<br />
* Anything on the DO NOT UPLOAD list.<br />
* Titles licensed by ADV, Central Park Media and Funimation.<br />
* Incomplete series (we do allow seasons or arcs if the show/manga in question is very long).<br />
* We do not permit non-Japanese dubs of a show unless:<br />
1) It is the original language (such as Afro Samurai)<br />
2) There is no other version available (i.e., the show is very rare)<br />
3) It is accompanied by the original dub (dual audio)<br />
* Fan made material including doujinshi (artbooks and manga MUST be official).<br />
* Games (including anime-related or anime-styled).<br />
* ISOs (including DVD-rips of anime).<br />
* Videos not packaged in .mkv, .avi, .ogm, .mp4 (exceptions will only be granted if no other version is available).<br />
* Audio not encoded in .mp3 or a lossless codec for music.<br />
* Any releases from Dattebayo.<br />
* Anything released by Anime-4ever, Anime-HQ and Anime-Supreme may only be uploaded by the appropriate group's appointed distro members.<br />
* When making a description, do not hotlink images without permission. You may hotlink images from sites that expressly allow hotlinking.<br />
<br />
<br />
* If we see someone uploading a loli/shota torrent (will be judged by forum users and moderators) the torrent will be removed and the user will be sent a warning. A ban may be incurred if uploading is found to be deliberate or if the user has had at least 2 warnings before.<br />
<br />
Preferences<br />
In general we prefer:<br />
<br />
* h264 encodes over XviD encodes because h264 is more space efficient.<br />
* XviD, DivX or h264 encodes, other codecs are not widely supported and accepted (this includes but is not limited to MPEG, WMV, RM, QT and Indeo).<br />
* (styled) softsubs over hardsubs.<br />
* FLAC as a lossless format for soundtracks (OSTs) because FLAC has wide support and is not proprietary.<br />
* that you do not add archives to your torrent unless uploading manga. Refer to the FAQ for more information.<br />
* that you do not offer files released by speed fansubbers or otherwise inferior quality releases when high quality will be available in the near future.<br />
<br />
Offers may be rejected if they do not match our preferences.<br />
<br />
With regards to your torrent description, please refer to our FAQ for guidelines.<br />
As with forum regulations, no advertising will be permitted in torrent descriptions. If any is found or reported, the uploader will be warned for a minimum of 4 weeks. Repeat offenses will result in a ban.<br />
<br />

Avatar image size limit:<br />
Keep in mind that avatars will be resized to 100px by 100px regardless of their original aspect ratio.<br />

<div>===Tracker Guidelines===<br />
<br />
These guidelines exist to protect fair users and to keep BoxTorrents a happy community.<br />
<br />
* Do not go against the moderators wishes.<br />
* Do not upload our torrents to other trackers.<br />
* Do not hotlink our torrents from other sites, link to the description page instead.<br />
* Disruptive behaviour in the forums will result in posting rights being revoked ().<br />
* Low ratios may result in consequences, including warnings and bans.<br />
* Any and all forms of hacking or cheating may result in permanent or temporary bans without warning.<br />
* Warned users () are only able to seed torrents, if they want the warning removed they will need to seed until their ratio is high enough (usually 1.0).<br />
<br />
===Forum Guidelines===<br />
<br />
We try to keep BoxTorrents a place where anime fans can meet and discuss anime in a broad sense. To make sure BoxTorrents stays a happy community we need your assistance, please follow the rules stated below:<br />
<br />
When posting on the forums the following rules apply:<br />
<br />
* NO spam.<br />
* No one word posts.<br />
* No double posts.<br />
* Topics must REMAIN ON TOPIC (if it strays off topic, staff will warn, if it continues staff will lock the thread).<br />
* NO "Should <member> be unbanned/banned/demodded/remodded" or similar polls/threads<br />
This will be locked immediately following a possible temporary/permanent ban.<br />
* NO questioning admin decisions regarding site changes or actions<br />
It happens for a reason.<br />
* NO pornography related threads (hentai should remain in the hentai section).<br />
* NO making threads about locked threads.<br />
* NO advertising porno sites ANYWHERE (including signatures and avatars).<br />
* NO advertising<br />
* NO linking to trackers containing ADV licensed material (for additionally blacklisted anime related material look here).<br />
* NO flaming ( staff will warn you first. if it continues any further, we will ban you).<br />
* NO sexist, racist, religious or any other type of discriminatory comments allowed.<br />
* RESPECT other members. if you yourself do not like being mistreated or disrespected don't go doing it to others.<br />
* When asking for help or support, be sure to give AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. Simply posting saying 'Hi, I have a problem. Help' is both time-wasting and irritating. Give as much relevant information as you can (such as computer hardware stats,, your OS, your torrent client, your internet connection stats, and the torrent in question).<br />
<br />
<br />
When addressing staff remember the following:<br />
<br />
* Please under no circumstance disrespect the mods. they patrol the boxtorrents.com for the community volunteering their time helping out.<br />
* We boxtorrents.com will NOT tolerate anybody disrespecting any of our staff members.<br />
(doing so may result in a possible ban.)<br />
* If you feel they have mistreated you do NOT bitch/insult them. Instead contact one of the administrators so we can resolve this in a civil manner.<br />
<br />
<br />
Staff code of conduct:<br />
<br />
* A warning will be issued before taking any immediate action (such as bannings or locking threads).<br />
* Only under EXTREME circumstances will the previous rule be ignored.<br />
<br />
<br />
A situation not covered in this concise set of rules will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Results may vary. If you see anyone breaking rules and it doesn't look like any action has been taken by a mod, PM a mod to let us know in case we missed it. If you have any questions you can find us at #box-support on irc.deltaanime.net or leave us a PM. The guidelines are updated frequently; we will inform you of any changes.<br />

* If we see someone uploading a loli/shota torrent (will be judged by forum users and moderators) the torrent will be removed and the user will be sent a warning. A ban may be incurred if uploading is found to be deliberate or if the user has had at least 2 warnings before.<br />
<br />
Preferences<br />
In general we prefer:<br />
<br />
* h264 encodes over XviD encodes because h264 is more space efficient.<br />
* XviD, DivX or h264 encodes, other codecs are not widely supported and accepted (this includes but is not limited to MPEG, WMV, RM, QT and Indeo).<br />
* (styled) softsubs over hardsubs.<br />
* FLAC as a lossless format for soundtracks (OSTs) because FLAC has wide support and is not proprietary.<br />
* that you do not add archives to your torrent unless uploading manga. Refer to the FAQ for more information.<br />
* that you do not offer files released by speed fansubbers or otherwise inferior quality releases when high quality will be available in the near future.<br />
<br />
Offers may be rejected if they do not match our preferences.<br />
<br />
With regards to your torrent description, please refer to our FAQ for guidelines.<br />
As with forum regulations, no advertising will be permitted in torrent descriptions. If any is found or reported, the uploader will be warned for a minimum of 4 weeks. Repeat offenses will result in a ban.<br />

<div><big>TRACKER GUIDELINES</big><br />
<br />
These guidelines exist to protect fair users and to keep BoxTorrents a happy community.<br />
<br />
* Do not go against the moderators wishes.<br />
* Do not upload our torrents to other trackers.<br />
* Do not hotlink our torrents from other sites, link to the description page instead.<br />
* Disruptive behaviour in the forums will result in posting rights being revoked ().<br />
* Low ratios may result in consequences, including warnings and bans.<br />
* Any and all forms of hacking or cheating may result in permanent or temporary bans without warning.<br />
* Warned users () are only able to seed torrents, if they want the warning removed they will need to seed until their ratio is high enough (usually 1.0).<br />
<br />
FORUM GUIDELINES<br />
<br />
We try to keep BoxTorrents a place where anime fans can meet and discuss anime in a broad sense. To make sure BoxTorrents stays a happy community we need your assistance, please follow the rules stated below:<br />
<br />
When posting on the forums the following rules apply:<br />
<br />
* NO spam.<br />
* No one word posts.<br />
* No double posts.<br />
* Topics must REMAIN ON TOPIC (if it strays off topic, staff will warn, if it continues staff will lock the thread).<br />
* NO "Should <member> be unbanned/banned/demodded/remodded" or similar polls/threads<br />
This will be locked immediately following a possible temporary/permanent ban.<br />
* NO questioning admin decisions regarding site changes or actions<br />
It happens for a reason.<br />
* NO pornography related threads (hentai should remain in the hentai section).<br />
* NO making threads about locked threads.<br />
* NO advertising porno sites ANYWHERE (including signatures and avatars).<br />
* NO advertising<br />
* NO linking to trackers containing ADV licensed material (for additionally blacklisted anime related material look here).<br />
* NO flaming ( staff will warn you first. if it continues any further, we will ban you).<br />
* NO sexist, racist, religious or any other type of discriminatory comments allowed.<br />
* RESPECT other members. if you yourself do not like being mistreated or disrespected don't go doing it to others.<br />
* When asking for help or support, be sure to give AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. Simply posting saying 'Hi, I have a problem. Help' is both time-wasting and irritating. Give as much relevant information as you can (such as computer hardware stats,, your OS, your torrent client, your internet connection stats, and the torrent in question).<br />
<br />
<br />
When addressing staff remember the following:<br />
<br />
* Please under no circumstance disrespect the mods. they patrol the boxtorrents.com for the community volunteering their time helping out.<br />
* We boxtorrents.com will NOT tolerate anybody disrespecting any of our staff members.<br />
(doing so may result in a possible ban.)<br />
* If you feel they have mistreated you do NOT bitch/insult them. Instead contact one of the administrators so we can resolve this in a civil manner.<br />
<br />
<br />
Staff code of conduct:<br />
<br />
* A warning will be issued before taking any immediate action (such as bannings or locking threads).<br />
* Only under EXTREME circumstances will the previous rule be ignored.<br />
<br />
<br />
A situation not covered in this concise set of rules will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Results may vary. If you see anyone breaking rules and it doesn't look like any action has been taken by a mod, PM a mod to let us know in case we missed it. If you have any questions you can find us at #box-support on irc.deltaanime.net or leave us a PM. The guidelines are updated frequently; we will inform you of any changes.<br />
