These rules apply from September 16, 2012. Older post and threads follow the old templates and upload rules, unless uploaders themselves decided to apply the new rules to old uploads.
The Shunyaru Haven administration does not allow illegal mods of games on our forums. Before uploading anything, please read the Black list, which is a list of content not allowed on the forums due different reasons.
Uploads
Uploads are made in posts not being the first. Double posting does not apply here, unless the exact same links and information is posted twice.
When uploading new links they have to be either on a different host or in different amounts of parts. Uploaders are not allowed to upload the exact same parts on the exact same host.
Templates are requested information, but not required. However, failing to add no requested information is not allowed.
Uploads are not to be collections of tracks, books, images or games.
Failure to follow the upload rules result in a warning and reset post count or ban.
Books
Book downloads can only be direct download or host links. Special permission to add complete collection of books in torrents can be requested by sending admin a Private Message with the author and the amount of books that would be in the torrent.
Books and comics are sorted by author. If a write duo or illustrator/writer duo, make the thread based on the duo, unless they mostly work separated. Art books are solely based on author (which would be the illustrator).
Uploading incomplete books or series is not allowed. Exception is if the author died before completing the series.
