Seppuku Arts

1. No Illegal Content or anything Pornographic

So everything posted MUST be legal. Whilst pornography is not allowed, adult content is - if a particular piece of art is explicit or there's something explicit in anything you wish to share (maybe erotic fiction), then you're welcome to share it, just put a warning in the thread title.

2. Be Respectful.

Nobody is a 'noob' and nobody is an 'idiot'. If you disagree with something state it and state why in a calm manner. No flaming, no insults, nothing to put the other person down. This also means no prejudice or discrimination, so no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and many other forms of discrimination.

3. No Lawyering

The rules were not written by a lawyer. The style of moderation here is based on assessing a situation, the rules are guidelines for how to behave on this forum. If you're doing something wrong you will be told before any action is taken. If your behaviour becomes an issue then actions will be taken. Lawyering is quoting back the rules to try and argue how you've not broken them. If you have any grievances you're welcome to PM the admin.

4. Moderators/Admin Decide what constitutes as rule breaking

Anybody who's a moderator will only be a moderator if the admin trusts their judgement and trusts that they will moderate fairly. If you feel a moderator has acted unfairly contact the admin (me) and I will make a decision on whether to act further. DO NOT make a post about how you feel a moderator's action is unjust, the forums are not there to serve that purpose. Complaints can be dealt with via PM. That said, there is a feedback section, so if you think something can be improved then you can discuss it.

5. No Spam

This is not a place to advertise. You're welcome to put website links in your signatures, but no post should be out to advertise. If you need feedback on any of your creations or are working on a project, you can share them.

6. Religious/Political/Evolution

Religion and Politics are 2 controversial topics and with it so is discussion surrounding evolution. You are welcome to discuss these topics, but be aware there's a higher likelihood that these threads may be locked just so they don't get out of hand. If you DO find yourself entering a religious or political debate, we'd prefer it if it remained civil (I don't believe in stopping people from discussing topics they want to discuss), so I have created a guideline for 'discussion & debate' and have written so it's fair for everybody.

7. Copyright

If you're going to share a creation it must be yours, you are not allowed to pass off somebody else's work as your own, in fact people are really good at figuring out where somebody was the original creator or not, so it's not worth the risk. If you are using somebody else's media then you must have permission to use it.
