Comment Section Rules
Comment and Review Section Rules
- No Advertising: Sharing relevant links (e.g., publisher websites, scanlator sites, MangaDex) is allowed. Creating accounts or posting solely for promotional purposes is not permitted. Bato.to and its mirrors are not responsible for any issues arising from these links. Exercise caution when clicking on links.
- No Spamming: Avoid repeatedly posting the same content, excessive use of memes or gifs, and trolling. Ensure your posts contribute to genuine discussion.
- Respectful Conduct: Avoid flame wars, trolling, harassment, misleading arguments, personal attacks, and disrupting debates. Maintain respectful interactions with others.
- No Excessive Reporting: Reporting every comment in an argument or spamming reports for trivial reasons is prohibited. This behavior may lead to an official warning. Use the report function responsibly.
- No Offensive Language: It is strictly prohibited to use racial slurs, queerphobic language, or any other derogatory terms that could offend others, whether aimed at fictional characters or fellow users. Swear words are allowed if not used offensively.
- Avoid Sensitive Topics: Refrain from discussing sensitive topics like religion, race, and politics unless relevant to the series and supported by facts. This applies to usernames, bios, and icons. Any subjects that can lead to controversy and irrelevant arguments are not welcomed. Bato.to (and mirrors) staff understand the importance of these conversations and their real-life implications. However, the site itself is not a suitable forum for these topics nor is it conducive to meaningful discussion.
- No Impersonation: Do not impersonate staff or other users by using similar usernames or avatars, or by taking down other users' pages or comics.
- Spoiler Alerts: Use the spoiler tag for plot details and mention “Spoiler Warning” before discussing the story.
- No Vile, Violent, or Gory Comments: Comments of a vile, violent, or gory nature are not allowed, even if about fictional characters.
- NSFW Content: NSFW images or content are not allowed in comments for SFW series, profile bios, or avatar/pfp of users.
- Moderator Authority: Moderators do not typically take action on comments about fictional characters but will enforce rules on offensive language, spam, and other prohibited behaviors. Report inappropriate comments using their permalink in the #reports channel on our Discord server.
All rules, policies, and guidelines are designed to protect our readers, scanlators, and the continued operation of Batoto. Staff may interpret and enforce them as needed. For more questions, join our Discord server.
