Community Rules

Everything you need to know to be a great member of any fandom community on Tokyofishmarket.

ILLUSTRATION — Friendly community members interacting in a fandom space

These rules apply everywhere

Every fandom community on Tokyofishmarket follows these rules. Individual communities may add their own on top of these, but they can never override them.

Who can join

Any Tokyofishmarket account in good standing can join communities. Each fandom community may have its own extra rules set by moderators.

  • You need an account to participate
  • Moderators can set extra rules for their community
  • Breaking the rules can get you restricted or banned

What you can post

Communities support text, images, videos, links, polls, versus polls, and quizzes. Keep it relevant to the fandom.

  • Tag AI-generated content — hiding it is a rule violation
  • Polls and quizzes must be real engagement, not spam
  • Stick to the fandom topic of the community

What's not allowed

Zero tolerance for content that harms people or the community.

  • Harassment, threats, hate speech, or targeted attacks
  • Any content sexualizing minors — real or fictional
  • Spam, vote manipulation, or fake engagement
  • Phishing, malware, or anything that puts users at risk
  • Doxxing or sharing someone's personal info
  • Impersonating other users, mods, or staff
  • Unauthorized advertising or solicitation

NSFW content

Only allowed in communities explicitly flagged as NSFW by their moderators. Minors cannot access these communities.

  • Even in NSFW communities, content sexualizing minors is strictly banned
  • Tokyofishmarket can reclassify any community as NSFW at any time

Uploading images & media

You're responsible for what you upload. Make sure you own it or have the right to share it.

  • Fan art and derivative works are shared at your own risk
  • We process DMCA takedowns — infringing content gets removed
  • You give us a license to display your uploads on the platform (ends when you delete it)
  • Files must respect the platform's size and format limits

Showing off your collection

Share what you actually own. No fake flexing.

  • Photos must be of items you really own
  • Don't pass off stock photos or promo shots as your own
  • Community authentication is informational only, not a professional appraisal

Contributing data

Communities can edit character profiles, universe timelines, and fandom metadata. Contributions become part of the platform.

  • Be accurate — deliberately adding false info is a violation
  • Mods and staff can review, edit, or revert your changes
  • Edit wars or data manipulation = editing privileges suspended
  • Don't copy text verbatim from wikis or official sources

How moderation works

Each community has mods who enforce the rules. Their actions are logged.

  • Mods can remove content, mute, restrict, or ban members
  • They can set extra rules, banned words, and content filters
  • If you think a mod action was unfair, you can escalate to Tokyofishmarket staff
  • Mods who abuse their power lose their privileges

Reporting problems

See something that breaks the rules? Use the report button. We review every report.

  • Reports go to community mods first, then to staff if needed
  • Filing fake reports on purpose is itself a violation

XP, badges & progression

Communities have XP, levels, badges, trophies, streaks, leaderboards, quests, and virtual pets. They reward real participation.

  • Exploiting these systems with bots, alt accounts, or coordinated abuse = rewards removed + possible suspension

Direct messages

You can DM other members within the same community. Same content rules apply as public posts.

  • No unsolicited ads or commercial messages
  • No harassment through DMs
  • Don't use DMs to get around a community ban

What happens if you break the rules

Violations can lead to escalating consequences depending on severity.

  • Content removal
  • Temporary or permanent mute
  • Community-level ban
  • Platform-wide suspension or termination
  • Loss of all gamification rewards and progression
  • Referral to law enforcement when applicable
