Spoiler tags

Spoilers in submissions:

If our submission contain spoilers, mark it as spoilers after submitting, like this.

If there are untagged spoilers in your submission, mark it as spoilers.
When to use spoiler tags:

In threads not marked as spoilers always use spoiler tags everywhere in the comments.

In threads that are marked as spoilers: no need to use spoiler tags, but keep the submitter's level of knowledge about the VN in mind. Play it safe.

Always use spoiler tags in threads that are not about one specific VN. The only exceptions are series (e.g. Ace Attorney), but only if OP makes it clear that discussing all games in a series without spoiler tags is okay.
How to use spoiler tags:

Hide spoilers like this: [visible title of VN](#s "hidden spoilery text") which shows up as visible title of VN

Submitting a post

Questions:

All questions should be posted in the stickied Weekly Questions Thread. Recommendation questions may also be asked over at /r/vnsuggest.

Exceptions: questions of interest to the community (not the OP) & discussion threads. See the wiki for an expanded definition.
Announcements:

If a VNDB page for a newly announced VN is available, make sure to post it in the comments when you've submitted the post.
NSFW:

After submitting, mark the submission with the NSFW tag if unhidden 18+ material is contained in the post. 18+ heavy submissions go in /r/eroge.
Quality content:

No non-VN related submissions, no reposts, no low-effort submissions. Details.
Videos:

Post Let's Play/Read-through videos in the fortnightly thread.
Self-promotion, crowdfunding, and Kickstarters:

Details here.
Giveaways & selling stuff:

Giveaway posts are fine, but selling stuff goes in the questions sticky. Tips here.

General

Piracy:

Don't ask for or link to illegal downloads, don't mention sites where illegal downloads are hosted, and don't encourage illegal downloading. Translation patches are allowed.
Behavior:

Be respectful. Personal insults are not allowed and will at the very least result in a temporary ban.
Non-VN related threads Submissions unrelated to VNs are discouraged.

Use the weekly Off-topic threads or the Weekly Question threads for personal things like saying hello, thanks, or goodbye.

News about VN adaptions is allowed.
