First time posting - Anything I should Know? (also, what are ranks, is there a list?)

[Scasma 7]

Title says it all. I am new to posting on the internet, and can count on my hands the amount of times I have done so (in text). I do lurk quite a bit though, and have found myself coming back to this website as well as MAL time and time again. I don't exactly know what to say, as I am new to this, so I'll just spew out random non-inquiries. I have played a handful of visual novels, among them NekoPara, Say no Uta, Kara no Shoujo, School Days HQ, Steins;Gate, Imouto Paradise, and Littlewitch Romanesque. I greatly respect and follow the blogger and forum member known as Sanahtlig for his reasoning and argumentative skills and for his tempered attitude. I ran out of things to list (and need to sleep).

I do have one question though. what exactly are the ranks for? I assume they are related to the amount of posts you post. Is it a linear progression, aka you just receive a title? Or do you have a selection to choose from? I am currently a newbie, and I know there is a "Loli Protector" and "Philosopher" and a bunch others. I want one. Can I be Jesus (joking please don't kill me)?

Oh, and if anybody is a jerk in this thread, just be so incredibly nice to them they die of giggles.

*I don't know if I am speaking too informally or too friendly to you guys. I don't usually post, so cut me an unreasonably large amount of slack*

There exists a rank progression that gradually happens as you post. They're just cosmetic.

Once you hit 500 posts, you can choose a title of your own and you can change that whenever you feel like.

Yes, you can be Jesus, though only for a while. It's on the house, enjoy it. 

Welcome to the forums, hope you have fun around here.

Wait, are you the creator of the website? If so, good job.

Also, I know this is a very fine line I am walking here, but I felt it necessary to clarify your rules concerning loli (just understand, not debate them). As I understand it, one is not allowed to talk about the ethics of the subject, whether it is right or wrong. That is for another time and place where people aren't so strongly divided. As I also understand it, one is not allowed t post sexually explicit pictures on this site at all, but must post links to them with warnings that they are NSFW. I am assuming that this is the same for loli content as well. that is also a good idea. 

What is less clear is what we are allowed to discuss in connection to the term "loli." I am assuming w can't vividly describe any sexual scenario in any fashion, as that would be text porn. But am I allowed to discuss my favorite loli characters? Or fetishes? Not trying to push my luck, I just think it is really important to get out of the way, as I don't want to end up on the wrong side of a ban because I didn't understand the rules.

Sorry if that gave me a bad first impression, but I felt that it was best to ask, as I like the character archetype and personally don't feel qualms saying so.

Oh, and all of those visual novels are among my absolute favorites, except for Littlewitch Romanesque, which is very endearing for me, but not reaching the level of the others. Many of the characters didn't feel as fleshed out to me. the other ones were also a bit darker and more realistic (in a dark, gritty, "Last of Us" sort of way). And I loved the art style of NekoPara.

[mitchhamilton 863]

very fair questions. you are new here so nothing wrong with clarifying these things. you have to understand that lolis as well as torrents on this site have a bit of history. on the subject of lolis, we can talk about them, we can ask about vns with them, we can say how we like them but yes, explicit wording, pictures that have to do with lolis is a bit of a no no here and might result in a ban. dont want that to happen to you sir so yeah, just be careful.

 

@Kaguya can probably explain it better.

The creator of the site was a gal named Aaeru, haha. She hasn't been around for a few years now. Me, Nosebleed and Down are global moderators, and unless extraordinary circunstances come to be, one of us will usually be the final voice on any moderation-related issue. 

You shouldn't really post erotic CGs with lolis of any type, even as a link, hm. You're right that it's how we normally handle H content, though. 

Feel free to discuss your favorite loli characters as much as you'd like! Fetishes are a bit more complicated, but if they're relevant to a VN you're talking about it should be fine. I'm a lolicon myself and I'm pretty sure everyone knows about it, and I think it's fine to mention both your fetishes and that you happen to enjoy lolis in a thread if that's pertinent. Members just shouldn't go out of their ways to talk about the hottest ways to do lolis in or whatever.

Don't worry, bans are pretty unnusual, all in all. Permanent bans even more so.

Also don't worry about making a bad impression, hm. If anything, throughly reading the rules beforehand and asking about them when they look unclear is something I wish all newcomers did, haha.

whoa, i never knew that about you kaguya.

 

 

 

YOURE A MOD?!

 

 

jk, of course. the joke was kaguya revealed stuff and it was the obvious one that i didnt know. stupid joke, i know.

[Dergonu 2,188]

Welcome to the forum, nice to meet you.

 

You can speak as informally as you want in threads that aren't too seriously, tbh. Most of us do joke around a lot, (especially in the Coliseum of Chatter.) 

Looks like Kaguya already covered most about the ranks.

You can also get a custom rank by contributing to the site in some way, like being a backer, adding a properly formated walkthrough etc.

[Eclipsed 1,874]

This place is pretty much just a chill place for various people to ramble about various weeber and non weeber stuff, relax and enjoy and welcome~

[Pinkaw 7]

You, I like you. Welcome

Welcome to the Fuwa forums, I approve of your avatar and hope you enjoy yourself 

[UnlimitedMoeWorks 146]

Welcome to the forums. It's going to take a while to reach 500 posts so just keep posting whenever you can. After all, that's what forums are for right?

See you around, and enjoy your stay.

[sanahtlig 1,432]

Hi, welcome to the forums, and thank you for your patronage!  Connecting with people like you is what keeps me posting.

If you're into loli games, and School Days is one of your favorites, then I recommend Shiny Days.  It has a full mini-route dedicated to Kokoro Katsura from School Days.  You'll need to patch the loli content back in though.

If you haven't already, you should create a VNDB account and add/vote on all the VNs you've played.  You can link your VNDB account in your Fuwa profile the same way you listed your Steam account.

[littleshogun 960]

Welcime to Fuwanovel, and yes you could be Jesus here just like Kaguya stated earlier here if you could reach 500 posts or write a walkthrough here (Reach 500 posts was easier here though). By the way, I'm not really a newbie here just in case you wonder about my rank. Hope you enjoy yourself here, and you could ask us if you need some VN recommendations there (You could try both of Himawari and 11eyes though).

[Scasma 7]

Thanks all of you! I really do feel welcome!

[Akimoto Masato 103]

Lol, I'm an atheist, I don't believe in you _-_

[Akimoto Masato 103]

But seriously welcome to the community
