I know in Host Links it's not allowed for a forumer to upload a file to, say, Megaupload, if another forumer has already done so.
Does this rule also apply to Everything Else?

I do not think that it should be so. I mean, the same host isn't allowed so that people don't get points for something that's already up. Now in 'Everything Else' section, there's no point-earning anyway. So it should not matter as such.
Though if there already is a link working of the same file on the same host, then why would you want to up another one? O.o
I have no idea :| But there is someone in a certain thread who persistently uploads to the same host as another forumer, and it gets on my nerves. But oh well. I can't play forum police :lol:Quote:

I know if I was the person always getting this done to me, I would certainly be frustrated and would want to stop wasting my time :(
At least ppl like this are rare enough, usually they always come to an understanding in other threads (obviously I know the one you meant specifically :lol: ) as far as I saw so far.
In short, I think it's only a matter of being polite :|
A recent uploading question was answered very quickly :? but I never got any "official" feedback on this @_@

As no points are awarded in the Everything Else section, we don't check there for double links there. However, they are still superfluous and pointless.
While this a hot item, I want to ask what the difference is between the 'Everything Else' and the 'Request Anime' section under 'Anime Downloads'.
What is the reason that some anime-series are placed in the first section, while other series goes into the 'Request Anime'. If you click on them, then both contains ongoing series.
Okay, thanks for the answer XDQuote:

Just like what Yav said, it doesn't matter at all since no points will be awarded for those links.
I'm on the process of "cleaning" both sections. I'll also put some guidelines afterwards to remove the confusion about them.Quote:
