We welcome you to our wonderful and friendly community here at FAKKU and hope you enjoy your stay, but like any forum out there there are rules you need to follow. If you don't want to get banned, be sure to read the rules carefully and don't break them. Some of the individual forums also have specific rules if outlined in a sticky, so be sure not to break those either.
FAKKU Rules, version 2.0
General Rules
Do not insult or harass other members.
-Insults, harassment, flaming, trolling, baiting or other similar abusive behavior towards other members of the Forum will not be tolerated.
No discrimination.
-You may not insult members based on their religion, race, sex, political beliefs etc. Racism will NOT be tolerated.
Mentioning drugs in context is allowed, however, conversing over the use of illegal drugs is prohibited.
Do not post content that instigates to break the law.
-For example: Instructions for stealing email Accounts etc.
Do NOT create any threads in any other language other than English
- [Update by Gambler] In addition, please refrain from posting in languages apart from English.
We allow one username change per user.
Do not post links to US licensed content.
Here is a list of what should not be uploaded.
Minors are not allowed on this site.
-When you signed up, you agreed that you are over 18. Immediate action will be taken should we find out you are a minor.
Do not spam.
-Don't double post, triple post, quadra-post, etc. (Exception for art, writing, etc)
-Please only reply if you have something useful to add to the Thread.
-Posting just to "bump" a thread (i.e. move it to the top of the forum) is also considered as spamming.
-Blatant spamming will result in a permanent ban.
-A large number of images or gif's is also considered spam
-Extremely long images are also considered against the rules
Do not abuse signatures.
-No large images.
-No videos.
Do not create alternate accounts.
-Recently, it has come to our attention that certain users have been creating alternate accounts, whether it be for repping themselves, or other means. Such activity is extremely unfair to the other users and violators will be punished.
If you start a new thread, make sure it is in the correct section.
-Requests, especially, should be posted in the Requests Forum. Failure to comply results in a temporary ban.
Do not start a new thread on a topic already being discussed.
-This rule does not apply in the Random and Incoherent Babbling forums.
-Use the search function and read the forum prior to posting.
Do not necro bump threads unless you have something to contribute to the discussion.
-If a thread is more than two or three weeks old, do not post in it. Make a new thread. This mostly applies to the larger forums, such as Random but can apply to other forums in certain cases.
- [Update by Gambler] As mentioned in bold, it is all right to bump threads as long as a user has something meaningful to contribute to the discussion. Examples include giving their thoughts and opinions on the matter, latest updates on an anime or manga title, etc. Simple replies such as "yes", "no", "quoted for the truth", etc do not count as meaningful in most cases.
Do NOT advertise your site, products, or services on FAKKU.

Do NOT abuse the rep system.
Do NOT ask for money.
Do NOT cyber or attempt to cyber
Do NOT post any Gore/Mutilation or objectional images/videos on ANY board

As soon as we fix it. Do not ask for when something will be done; it will be done when it is done.

Forum related Questions
There's someone who is breaking the rules, what can I do?
Send the staff a report about the problem post/user by using the little report button on the top right of the post. There is no way the staff can get to every single offense, but with your help we can.
Auto Login isn`t working, what can I do?
https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=9904
How do you get/lose Reputation?
You can +/- rep someone once you have 15 posts, which I see you have. You can only +/- rep one person once every 24 hours. After 24 hours, you regain the ability to +/- rep someone again. To +/- someone, there should be a +/- buttons to the side of the word "reputation" underneath your avatar. That's what you press to +/- rep someone. You cannot +/- rep yourself.
Why is my Signature not showing up in my Post?
You have to enable the following Options in your User Profile:
Show Your Signature: Yes
Show User Signatures: Yes
I want to change my User-Name, how do I do it?
Send a private message or email to any of the admins (Jacob, Raze, or Nikon). Be sure to include your old username and the new username you would like.
Where can I find the Member List?
There isn't one.
What's up with spoilers that don't open?
https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=13240
Status/Title related Questions
How do I get FAKKU Elite status?
To gain Elite status, you must have 500 posts. Refer to the Forum rules.
How do I get FAKKU Elder status?
For the FAKKU Elder status, you must have 1000 posts. Again, refer to the forum rules. These numbers are subject to change at administrative discretion as the forum grows.
Are there special privileges awarded with the Elite/Elder status or is it just nifty bragging rights?
Just nifty bragging rights, for now.
What about the other FAKKU titles?
FAKKU Global Moderator - These staff members have moderator powers over the entire forum, and can access the Report List and ban users for violating the rules.
FAKKU Moderator - Moderators of one or more specific forums.
FAKKU Translator/Editor/Subber/Scanlator - Members of the resident translation team. These are the people who work very hard to bring you our translated releases.
FAKKU Uploader - The Uploader status is a special status given to exceptional users who we feel have contributed material to the site immensely, whether it be in the image section or uploads of doujins, manga, games, and/or anime, over a long period of time. And yes, this means the uploader status is higher than the elite/elder status.
FAKKU Artist - This rare title is awarded to outstanding artists on FAKKU who have contributed over a period of time. If you feel you deserve this title, contact an admin (Jacob, Raze, or Nikon) for consideration.
Can I have a custom Title?
Right now the staff feels that there is no need for custom titles. Everyone has a signature they can customize. A username, avatar, and signature should be more than enough for identification. As of now, all custom titles have been removed.
Profile Questions (Signatures)
What are the limits for Forum signatures?
300 pixels height. This includes everything in your signature space, including but not limited to images, text, closed spoilers, and white space.
Videos are not allowed in signatures.
What does closed spoilers mean?
A closed spoiler is when the spoiler is not open. Because spoilers load closed by default, it would not make sense to count open spoilers as part of the total signature space. A closed spoiler is approximately 30 pixels high.
How can I check if my signature is too large?
Find an image that is 300 pixels in height, and compare it to the entirety of your signature space.
Alternatively you can do some simple addition. Add up all the elements in your signature space.
What happens if I've been warned 3 times?
Your signature will be changed for you, or you may be temporarily banned depending on the situation.
How do I know how many warnings I have?
Your warning will include which number warning you are currently on.
Administration related Questions
What sort of duration variation is there for being banned?
We tend to hand out temporary bans for minor offenses, such as requesting outside the requests section. They typically last for 24-48 hours. More serious offenses will necessitate longer bans, and blatant rule violation may result in a permanent ban. Repeated serious rule violation will result in an IP ban.
Is it possible to be permanently banned with no prior first offense?
It's possible but extremely difficult to do.
How does one report an image in the image section that is in violation of the rules?
We haven't implemented that feature yet, but it's coming soon. Right now all you can do is contact an admin (Jacob, Raze, or Nikon) with a link to said picture.
Download related Questions
Why can’t I download Videos? / What happened to the Torrents?
FAKKU does not provide direct downloads to hosted videos; only torrents.
So if you want to download something you are in need of a Bit Torrent (Client), for example http://www.bittorrent.com/
Torrents unfortunately, being a P2P method of file distribution, die out after some time. Do NOT contact a staff member to reupload a video, or you might find yourself banned from the site for a few days.
Can I use a Download Accelerator?
No, you may not.
Image related Questions
What does “During periods of high traffic the image section is disabled” mean?
It means exactly what it says. When the number of online users exceeds 1200, the image section is disabled, because it's a big strain on our servers.
Random
Where did FAKKU! come from?
https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=9196
How can I contribute to FAKKU?
There are tons of ways. You can upload images, post doujin/games/movies in the User Uploads section, or contribute intelligently to ongoing discussion, click the ads, donate by Paypal to jacob@fakku.net... so many ways. Just don't break any rules while you work your way up.
How can regular users contribute to the Manga, Doujinshi, Games or Video sections?
Post a single thread in the respective User Uploads sub-forum with what you've uploaded, a description, preview pics (preferably) and links (See also User Upload Regulations).
Can you remove the Ads?
No. Be glad the advertising on this site is so minimal, otherwise the staff would be rich men. We try very hard to make sure our ads are not too intrusive. Running a site this big takes a lot of money, so we highly encourage you to click on the ads if it's not too much trouble.
Why do you censor Images/Doujinshi?
It's not like we go through every single doujin and blur it up. If we did, we'd probably be the most unpopular hentai site on the web. Porn from Japan is always censored, and any uncensored content is due to their being licensed in the US. Some exceptional doujins that are chosen to be translated by our own translation team are sometimes also decensored, but even this is not official and is only a faithful recreation of what it originally might have been.
IRC
These are a set of rules that must be followed in IRC. Any violations of these rules may be acted upon in the appropriate manner IE: Kick or Ban
Do NOT spam
(E.G. Repetition of text in a short period of time, constant links to images)
Do NOT abuse capital letters
(E.G. Constantly typing in capital letters)
Do NOT post disturbing images
(E.G. Guro)
Do NOT use racial profanity
Do NOT attempt to cyber with anyone in the channel. #Fakku isn't that type of channel
How do I see what files are hosted on IRC?
To view all the files that are currently being hosted on IRC, type in /msg Hagu-chan XDCC list. You should then get a private message from Hagu-chan. Hagu should give you a list of what's being hosted on #fakku.
How do I download the files once I've seen them?
To download the desired file, you type in /msg Hagu-chan XDCC SEND followed by the number that is next to the file you wish to download.
So if you wanted to download "#1 78x [197M] [FAKKU]Hentai[D6F744EF].avi" you would type in /msg Hagu-chan XDCC SEND 1. The download should then begin. You must stay connected to IRC until the download is complete.
