This has been posted in the WANTED! forum, but as people are still doing it, I'm making a more general announcement and have added this to our Board Guidelines:
Posts or topics giving download links to licensed OR unlicensed anime/manga "raws", torrents, etc (as described in this post (http://\"http://board.animefanlistings.org/index.php?showtopic=7985\"), as well as download links to MP3s or music files, will be deleted and the posters immediately warned or suspended. Offering downloads, directly or indirectly, puts this network in a bad position legally, and therefore anyone violating this rule will be immediately punished. If you must pass around links, don't do it on this board.
If a link is posted, this website will be listed as the referrer for anyone following that link, which instantly implicates our network as passing around potentially illegal download links. Please understand, while our staff may not care if you download or not, and in fact I personally am not going to judge anyone that does download raws, MP3s, whathaveyou, we still cannot have these links present on this message board. I just warned a regular member of this board, and I will not hesitate to warn or suspend any member, no matter how long-standing, for posting download links, as this really is the sort of thing that can get us sued.
If any member feels they cannot control themselves in this fashion, or finds this otherwise blatantly unfair, feel free to email me personally, danielle {at} animefanlistings [dot] org, and we'll discuss it. Otherwise, just to restate:
Do not post download links to anime or manga raws, fansubs, scanlations, MP3, etc on this board. Period.

The Senior Staff have discussed the matter and decided that along with these links, the MP3 Request topic in Off-Topic Chit-Chat will also be closed, and the same restrictions imposed.
