• NGT management announces their new rules. If you consider those members with outside agencies that can’t be punished, these are wonderfully watered-down.
  • Direct Messages are prohibited as they are tied to giving preferential treatment to specific fans
  • Un-following without permission is prohibited
  • After making a request to the staff and receiving permission then they may converse with a fan on SNS
  • In the event of a violation, management will consider the substance and frequency and take measures such as “a limitation of [the member’s] activities”
    • (When the new president Okada had announced these, it was either “limitation of activities”, “suspension of activities”, or “termination of contract”)

Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.

Why is this here? My original announcement
