Rules

Kitsumi Vault is a small library run by one person and its community. These rules keep it useful and friendly.

What you may share

Subtitles you made (your translation, transcription or timing), or that their author lets you share.
Sharing someone else's subtitles under an open licence or with their permission? Say so when you share and credit them (the set's "Who made them"). Keep the permission message in case you are asked.
Not the official subtitles of streaming services (Netflix, Crunchyroll and others) or of retail releases - they belong to their publishers.
Only subtitles - no video, music, ads, links to piracy sites, or anything hidden inside the files.
Rights holders can ask for removal on the takedown page; such sets are taken down.

Tag the real language and the video the timing fits. A wrong tag wastes people's time.
Use an existing show instead of creating a copy with a slightly different name.
Upload each file once - copies of a file already in the Vault are refused.
No spam, junk files or test uploads.

Vote on how well a set fits its video, not on who made it.
One account per person. No voting rings, no extra accounts to push your own sets.
No hate, harassment or adult content - in subtitles, labels or usernames.
Usernames: English letters, digits, dot, dash or underscore; nothing offensive, and nothing that pretends to be someone else, Kitsumi or a moderator.

Fix wrong languages, merge duplicate shows, hide or remove sets that break the rules.
An offensive username is reset to moderated#number, and renaming is locked for a while.
Automatic check: each new post is checked once for likely spam (piles of links, the same text again) and hate words. A post it marks is shown blurred, with a button to read it, until a moderator looks; an account it marks can post less often for a while. The check makes mistakes - a moderator clears them.
Warnings: a warning tells you what was wrong. The third warning bans the account - it can no longer share, vote or report.
