FAKKU: RULES and FAQ

8
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

By default all topics on the forum are relevant to Incoherent Babbling, even if the topic is technically more appropriate for another section. It is up to the creator to decide whether to put it in the appropriate forum or Incoherent Babbling.

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.

Do not post content that instigates to break the law.
-For example: Instructions for stealing email Accounts etc.

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.

-Please only reply if you have something useful to add to the Thread.

If you start a new thread, make sure it is in the correct section.

-Post them in the right section.

General Questions

When will …… be up again?
As soon as we fix it. Do not ask for when something will be done; it will be done when it is done.

Can we request doujins for the scan/sub team to work on?
No. Other information concerning the translation team can be found here.

I want to Donate, how can I?
If you'd like to help support the site, go buy something on the store!



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.

Please feel free to ask any questions that you'd like to see answered in the FAQ, or any questions pertaining to the rules so we can clarify them.

as to what is/isn't allowed yaoi, yuri? i think i may have seen some yuri, but i'm sure i've not seen any yaoi on this site. i understand no loli or guro (both gross and horribly wrong), but homosexuality isn't that bad. also, why no beastiality? furry is practicaly the same thing. and the recent post of "mother and son gone off track" is shota, isn't it?

if i have said or asked something stupid, be brutaly honest and tell me so, i'm all growed up, i can take it.

Image Section....no loli or shota...image section has been down for awhile...so it's void.

my main question was about the yaoi and yuri, and i meant manga. i ask because some sites are homophobic only towards yaoi, and others want none of it at all.

Dear User,

first of all, there is no need to use the Huge Font Size.
Even without it, we can read your post just fine.
Second, regarding our Question. As you maybe aware or not, Fakku is only providing Torrent Links for Videos.
So if you want to download something you are in need of an BitTorrent (Client), for example http://www.bittorrent.com/
Further while the World is changing, so does the Internet as well.
Torrent Links tend to lose their validation over some time. So if a link doesn`t work you need to wait, till our kind Administration updates them.
And while they are more important things to do, this can take sometime.

Greetings,
Lord_Helmchen

PS: The Forum Search Function is always Helpfull, if you want to know if somebody experienced the same Problem as you.

I've read the rules and FAQs given by sir Nikon...

But I did not see the question in my mind
Nikon wrote...
Can we request doujins for the scan/sub team to work on?
No.


My question on the other hand is...

Somewhat a hard question to say, but its something along the lines of:

Can we make requests on what hentai the FAKKU team to work on?
Something like for example, Can I request the FAKKU team to sub the hentai Stringendo & Accelerando? (I know its up, this is just an example.)

And is there any way to know how a hentai/manga contains bestiality or guro?
The only things I understand right now are: Loli, scat, bondage, BDSM...

Forget it, my first question the rules were actually stated in here:
Team Rules and Policies on Hentai translations

I did not see it coz' it was inside a child board, which I rarely visit. The FAKKU Translations under Manga, Doujinshi and Video Discussion.

Sorry but...Could someone explain to me about reputation, please?

You can +/- rep someone once you have 15 posts, which I see you have. You can only +/- rep one person once for a whole day, 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 can't +/- rep yourself, other users can.

There's no rule against the subject of your sig except no real life child porn. Other then that use common sense on it's size.

Not really because one can only see your signature in the profile page. Jacob disabled it in the forums, which I believe was a good move because it allows less scrolling for the same amount of material to read. But use common sense when choosing a signature - since signatures are often incorporated into forum posts (not at FAKKU), they often are horizontal and small, say 450x150 pixels. (Least that's my signature size.) Anything tremendously larger than that would be dumb and you'd run into technical difficulties as Mr.Stupid (that's his actual username) found out that his oversized picture wouldn't work (There's a thread about sig size in this very section). I'd say nothing no larger than 200x600 pixels at most.

What are you talking about? Sigs aren't disabled in the forums.

I mean in the posts, the sigs are disabled. You can see your sig in your profile page, but that's about it. That's what I meant. I remember when Jacob made the announcement of taking the sigs off the threads because it was too much clutter. If you remember Chuu's sig, that shit took up an entire page before he changed it.

Nope, I can see your Sig, mine and everyone else's sig in every post. You must have it disabled in your profile.

You're totally right. But I prefer no sigs since I'm totally used to not seeing them anyways. And like Jacob said, less clutter.

Lol, suit yourself. You scared me for a minute. I thought I was seeing stuff. Jacob reenabled Sigs awhile back.

Sigs give the forum more color if you ask me, it looks rather plain without 'em.

(Thinks to himself, I wonder what my status would be called if I had my GT post count over here XD)

FAKKU Subber/Scanlator: Members of the sub/scan team. These are the people who work very hard to bring you our translated releases. In terms of influence, this rank is the highest outside the Admin rank.

You answered the Question yourself.
