II. OFFICIAL GAIA POLICIES
Gaia's Official Download Policy
Quote:
Copyrighted Material: Regarding downloads, threads having links to web sites or other resources containing illegal downloads or streaming episodes of anime and/or manga are not permitted on the forums. Asking for or giving out such content is a warnable offense and any topics or posts created for such a purpose will be removed. Note: Linking to a site that contains copyrighted materials, even if you aren't linking to the materials in question, i.e. a picture gallery when the site contains a media page with downloads of manga, is still considered linking to copyrighted materials and a ToS violation. Any and all threads asking for download links of any sort will be removed from the forum and the creator punished if necessary. The only exception to this rule will be sites with streaming episodes that are officially provided by the owner companies, an example of such a site would be toonamijetstream.com.
Gaia's Stance on Hentai
Quote:
Regarding Hentai: Gaia Online is rated PG-13 and as such all content should be kept at that level. As stated in the Terms of Service the only exceptions to the rule are made on a case-by-case basis to allow for freedom of speech. Discussion about hentai should be kept within a reasonable level and should not include a behavior/language soliciting explicit activities, cybering, or threads created for the sole purpose to spam. Posting hentai images, links to hentai images and/or fiction as well as other adult related material are not permitted in AMC and other forums in Gaia. This rule also apply for Yaoi and Yuri.
