Because links to the sidebar are unreliable on Apple, our banned topics and banning policy are collated here.
Banned Topics:
- Sensitive topics – including but not limited to: cultural appropriation, race-related topics
- Idols’ sexuality speculation (this also applies to their personal life; who is dating who, which ships are real or not real, etc.)
- Eating Disorders/Body Image/Fatshaming/Weight Topics. This includes speculation on plastic surgery.
- International Politics, such ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict (including the boycotts around that and mentions of zionism) or the situation in Xinjiang.
- Topics with ongoing megathreads.
- Anything to do with the NJ/MHJ issue – in fact, any mention of MHJ at all (unless it’s in a megathread).
Banned for staleness:
- Minors debuting and sexualisation of minors
- Whether or not ‘kpop-adjacent’ bands should be discussed in this sub and/or whether or not they are kpop. Meta discussions of kpop as a genre are not stale.
Banning Policy:
The following is the policy for how users will be banned following rule violations.
Rule 1 and Rule 11 both incur automatic temporary bans.
Posting about a Banned Topic also incurs an automatic temporary ban.
These guidelines are intended for posts/comments made within one day.

A single simple insult in one comment: one day.
Multiple violations (up to three): three days
A single, severe insult: three days
Over three violations: seven days

There will be three temporary bans given for this rule. The fourth ban will be permanent.
Rule 11 (No censoring of words)
A single use of censoring, to avoid trigger list: one day
Multiple violations (up to three) to avoid trigger list: three days
Using censoring to bypass banned topics: three days
Using emojis to censor: three days
Multiple violations of censoring to avoid banned topics: seven days
Multiple violations of using emojis to censor: seven days

Other Rules
This guideline is ongoing; it is not for comments within one day.
Three warnings will be given. Upon the fourth rule violation, there will be a three-day ban. If there is a fifth violation, there will be a seven-day ban, with a notice that another violation will result in a permanent ban. Six rule violations will lead to a permanent ban.
As always, our rules and policies are public for everyone to view.
