Here are some rules to avoid getting ban if you already know about it then just ignore the message.


Violation and Ban Policy

Rule violations are organized into a number of distinct categories and the ban policy applies to each category individually. If a user violates multiple categories simultaneously, he will receive the subsequent stage on all categories.

Consecutive rule violations within each category will be handled as follows:

Warning

Ban #1: 2-5 days

Ban #2: 1 week

Ban #3: 2 weeks

Ban #4: 1 month

Ban #5: permanent

Furthermore:

If the first violation is severe, the moderator may decide to skip the warning and proceed to the first ban stage.
Users will be notified on their fourth ban that the next ban within the same category will result in a permanent ban from the site.
"Unban upon appeal" occurs when the moderator needs to speak with the banned user before allowing him to return to the site and counts for the next ban stage in the progression list.
One violation stage will be removed for every 6 months the user has demonstrated good behavior (no warnings/bans within that specific category).
E.g. If a user who is banned for 1 week (Ban #2) for spam does not violate any rules contained within the spam category for 6 months, a new spam ban from the site will again be 1 week.
If you are banned:

Do not evade your ban. Creating/using alternative accounts is not allowed. If you are found to have evaded your ban, your ban sentence will be lengthened (best-case) or your account will be permanently banned (worst-case).
You may use the web-client link on the ban message to speak with your banning moderator on IRC. Do not discuss your ban in the main channel; please PM a forum moderator directly (keys/&s). The first moderator who answers your message will re-direct you to your banning moderator.
Banned users must always speak with their banning moderator. This moderator fully understands the reason for the ban (and has read any deleted posts/threads), whereas the rest of the team will only know the basics. To avoid the possibility of misunderstandings occurring, you must speak with the moderator in question.
If you choose not to discuss your ban with your banning moderator on IRC, you will receive a PM upon your account being unbanned with details of your offense.
We encourage you to discuss any questions or misgivings you may have regarding your ban (or warning) so that the situation is fully resolved. If communication breaks down between you and the moderator in question (after a legitimate attempt at discussion), you may bring your concerns to another forum moderator or a DB admin.
Rule Violation Categories

Spam

Singular spam posts are deleted without warning. If a user makes many spam posts in one thread or singular spam posts across many threads, then he is subject to the rule violation policy.

Abuse

Content that falls under Section 4 of MyAnimeList's Terms of Use; e.g. Insults and other name-calling:

Direct insults are all rule violations; e.g. "<username> is a cunt".

Indirect insults are taken in context; e.g. "anyone who thinks that is a dumbass".

Please see here for more information on MAL's insult policy.

Prejudice and bigotry based on gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, etc.

Derogatory language and slurs, including but not limited to: Disability-related (e.g. autistic, retarded)

Ethnic (e.g. chink, sand nigger)
LGBT (e.g. fag(got), dyke)
Misandric (e.g. beta male)
Misogynistic (e.g. bitch, cunt)
Religious (e.g. Bible thumper)Suggesting: person(s) who have been sexually assaulted are not victims
person(s) who have been racially profiled are not victims
victim(s) "deserved" what happened to them
person(s) should be killed/kill themselves/shouldn't liveFlaming

Harassment

General harassment
Sexual harassment
Organized shunning If the harassment is occurring on profile comments or within private messages only, users are encouraged to ignore/block each other before the situation escalates to the level that it needs to be reported.

Trolling

General trolling
Creating troll threads
Troll recommendations in the Recommendation board
Baiting
Posting spoilers on purpose
Posting fake spoilers As the definition of trolling often involves determining the intent of the user, this rule violation category relies on moderator discretion. Thus, the user's posting history and past behavior will be taken into consideration.

Copyrighted, non-fair use material

Posting links to:
direct downloads
torrent files
anime streaming sites
manga reading sites
YouTube videos with full episodes/albums

Advertising

Including, but not limited to, posting: "Join my club!" on random users' profiles; please use the club invite feature
"Check out my YT vid and subscribe if you like!" on the forum
sites which you have created or are affiliated with; please ask your own community for feedback
Sites that you are not affiliated with, but still post with the intention to draw users away from MAL The profile's "about me" and forum signature are for advertising yourself, be that with personal images or links to clubs/external sites you would like to promote. Please use these features and refrain from advertising in forum posts, comments, and PMs.

NSFM

Posting NSFM links on the forum/profiles/blogs without a spoiler and label
Embedding NSFM images
Uploading NSFM images to profile/club pictures Singular offenses will only result in notification; repeat offenses will be treated as rule violations and may also be considering trolling.

Backseat modding

Addressing rule violations (e.g. "wrong board", "inb4 lock", calling people trolls)
Trying to correct rule violations (e.g. telling the user to post on another board)While the intent of the user may only be to help the user and the staff, users often do not like being directed by non-moderators (which only makes the situation worse) and the user may unintentionally provide the user with wrong information. In short, it quite often creates more work for moderators than it actually helps.

Like with spam, singular backseat modding posts are deleted without warning. If a user makes many posts in one thread or singular backseat modding posts across many threads, then he is subject to the rule violation policy.

Uncategorized

Rule violations that do not fall into the above categories will be treated on a case-by-case basis as their own category. Because they are rare and are typically resolved with a notification, warnings, and bans will only be given when the user refuses to change their behavior.

This includes violations such as:
Double posting repeatedly
Necroing threads without initiating new discussion
Violating rules individual to the board which are not classified above

Glad I could be of help. Also, what is your username on anilist again?

Good thing you were able to backup some stuff. :)

Also, is this your old MAL?

1. It doesn't have an official app as far as I know, but oujo for anilist works fine.

2. You can find an already transparent image if you search, or edit it in lunapic if it's not available. The Kyoko pfp I have wasn't available, so I manually removed the background myself.

3. If you paste an anilist link to an anime into your about page or post, it automatically turns into one of those "bars".

4. I'd say the UI as well as the manga database on anilist is considerably better than MAL. MAL's forums and community are more active than the ones on anilist, though.

5. There is. It's not nearly as active, but it's there.

6. It's actually better structured in that regard, in comparison to MAL. You can directly comment on your friends activity, instead of a general comment on their profile, and see all the conversations you've had with that person. You can also PM and follow friends on there.

7. If you have an old backup file of your old account you can use that to automatically import your list. Otherwise, you have to add your anime/manga manually.

8. I know of both anidb and kitsu, but I haven't used either of them.

Sure. I'm far from an expert on anilist, but I can try my best. What do you need help with?
