Website:

• The name of this website (Anim) is the abbreviation for the word "animation".
  
• This website allows anyone to create or edit any article, so we can all work together to create a comprehensive database for the animation fans.
  
• Like all boards, there are rules to follow. Without rules, there would be chaos. Rules keep people in order and set them within limits so that the environment runs smoothly and is more enjoyable for everyone apart of it. When rules are broken, there are consequences. The price to pay depends on what the user has done. The situation is thought over and the proper consequence is served.
  
• Anim is no different as far as basic rules goes. There is zero tolerance for those who feel the need to corrupt the safe and friendly environment that was created. It is unfair for the innocent to have to deal with such immaturity. Therefore, anyone who willfully violates these terms, will receive their penalty.
  
• Should a user have any problems or issues regarding any subject on the forum or the acts of any other user, they are encouraged to contact the administrator who will attend to the matter.
  
• Anim administrator is not responsible for member's failure to read these rules. This page is not hidden and there is no reason why members shouldn't read it.
  
• Anim administrator has the right to modify these terms at any given time. It is sole responsibility of the members to check back for any modifications made, not the administrator.
