This applies to all areas of the site where markdown is used; your profile about section, activity, activity replies, forum posts, reviews etc.
If you notice any your images no longer working, re-upload them to a host that supports https.
Changelog - 18/10/2018
We have updated the site guidelines regarding NSFW content, the guidelines are now as follows:
- NSFW images should not contain explicit nudity of any kind - bodily fluids, exposed nipples, bare breasts, crotches, or buttocks.
- Ecchi (pantsu, lingerie, underwear, etc) or other questionable content should be contained within spoiler tags and and labeled as such outside of the tags.
- Content deemed NSFW may be removed by a moderator.
If your avatar, banner, or about section contains content no longer permitted under the new guidelines, please remove such content as soon as possible.
"Media should not contain nudity or real extreme violence. If questionable, use spoiler tags."
Changelog - 28/10/2018
- Goblin (A goblin is a monstrous creature from European folklore. They are almost always small and grotesque, mischievous or outright malicious, and greedy. Sometimes with magical abilities.)
- Crossover (Centers around the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the context of a single story.)

Please note the below changes are NOT available in the current public submission system, which is being shut down very soon in preparation for the new system.
The new system is a complete overhaul of how users and moderators currently manage data. You'll be able to not only create absolutely everything (the main entry, banners characters, staff, and voice actors) in one form, but you'll also be able to edit it later and track the progress. Moderators have been testing it for a few weeks now and it is such a pleasure to use.
Example: Mou Ippon! was done in a single submission instead of the currently required seven.
<br>
- Doujinshi
- Anime
- Novel
- Please note that the old 'Novel' source was renamed to Light Novel. This means works that had novels as a source will now be incorrect and have to be manually updated to the new Novel source. (eg. some Ghibli movies)
Example: Chihayafuru
<br>
Example: Mushoku Tensei

Example: Shuuden ni wa Kaeshimasu
