The Rules
General Site Rules:
Please do not post unrelated links in any areas of the sites - all links in signatures should be anime / manga / gaming related or a website belonging to you.
Sign Up Emails:
Users found using a disposable, single use email address like mailinator will have their accounts banned.
Multiple Accounts
If you wish to have multiple accounts, for instance, one for artwork, another for roleplaying, contact Ai, Stoner or TimmyTheWiz before opening the additional account. Persons who have not contacted an administrator may end up with their accounts banned. NOTE: This also applies to people who live in the same household and share a PC - if in doubt, ask one of your friendly admins
Forum Rules:
No flaming
Spam is not allowed in any part of the site. New threads and posts are being monitored by the software and use of known spam words, phrases or urls will result in your threads being marked for moderation. Threads marked like this will not be seen until they have been approved.
No trolling (inciting flames)
Keep swearing to a minimum
This is an English site so please post EVERYTHING in English
NO REQUESTS: All our resident artists will draw what they want and deserve to be able to do so without feeling pressured to fill in requests. Picture and story suggestions are more than welcome as long as they are posted in the correct forum section. Artists and writers may view this area for inspiration, however please do not expect your suggestion to be filled.
Unless the artist gives express permission you are not allowed to make a request via the Private Message system under any circumstance. Artists are asked to report abusers of this rule by forwarding the request message to one of the admins.
Persistent requests are a form of harassment and may result in a permanent ban from this site.
ShoutBox:
The shoutbox is a Global message system, it is not for spam... should it be mis-used please be aware you could be banned or cause it to be removed completely.
Roleplay Rules:
No forced actions in rps (eg check to see if the other party is comfortable with any aspects in a roleplay that may cause offence)
Sexual actions are not permitted in
any roleplay - this is a child friendly site and contains no forms of pornography.
Persistent offenders will be banned - permanently.
Stories
Must be written by the person posting them (do not post stories written by other people unless you have their express written consent - this will need to be forwarded to an admin prior to uploading)
Please be mindful of spelling and grammar. It's okay to have one or two spelling and grammar errors, but please keep it to a minimum. You can request proofreaders on the forum.
Gallery
If there is not a suitable are in the gallery (eg you have a picture by xxx but they do not have a section there) please request that a new section is added instead of uploading to "unknown artist" - alternatively (if the artist has very few works) upload to the Communal Gallery giving the artist full credit
Do not upload work by other members of the community - please ask them to upload it instead, this way it will go into their own user folder.
If you are an artist and have a lot of work you wish uploaded on you behalf please contact "Ai" who can sort this out for you (1000's of pictures can be uploaded to your personal user gallery with only a few mouse clicks) NOTE: you will be required to zip and email the pictures or transfer them by ftp (whichever is easier)
No Requests are allowed within any area of the gallery
Chat Rules:
Do not post unrelated links
Please keep swearing to a minimum
Harassment of members is strictly forbidden (bannable offence)
Requesting images from artists without their consent also constitutes as harassment (bannable offence)
Private messaging:
Harassment of members is strictly forbidden, and offending members should be reported to one of the administrators, when reporting please locate the button which should be below your avatar and look something like this "
" which in turn will allow you to send the administrators a message along with the offending Private message, any reports made will be dealt with PRIVATELY by either Stoner or myself.
Disciplinary Policy
Should you run afoul of of the site Rules, such as harrassment, sex acts in a role play, or, frankly, if you cannot be civil in your posts and do not respond to warnings, then you WILL be banned for a period of time, the length of which is at administrator discretion and not subject to negotiation. This period of time will be displayed when you try to access the site.
Should you then, against all common sense, attempt to create another account to access the site before your temporary ban is completed, you will be permanently banned.
When you are put in the corner, you stay there, unless you want a spanking. The same philosophy applies.
