Rulebook
Thank you for taking your time to familiarize yourself with community guidelines. Please remember that these rules are subject to change. Posts that do not comply with these rules will be flagged or removed.
Violators may be banned or temporarily suspended.
Please note that these rules are not all-encompassing. This forum is designed to be a free space for everyone - to ensure that, forum moderators reserve the right to
arbitrate discussions according to their personal judgement (see Moderator Bias Disclosure).
Section #1: General Rules & Etiquette
1.1 Be polite and respectful
1.2 Make valuable contributions - forums are not IM platforms
1.3 No spamming
1.4 No bumping
1.5 No thread hijacking
1.6 Necroposting is okay
1.7 As of now, forum language is English
Section #2: Restricted Content
2.1 Advertizing
This is a gray area... We welcome everyone who wants to show off their projects and creations (even if you monetize them or expect donations). However, if your primary goal is to sell something, your post will likely be removed. Whether your post violates rule 2.1 will be subjectivelly decided by forum moderators.
2.2 Politics
2.3 Erotica
Explicit sexual nudity is not allowed on this forum. Refrain from posting anything that you would not be comfortable posting without anonomity. Moderators will use their own judgement to decide what constitutes the violation of rule 2.3. Posts that do not comply with this rule will be deleted.
2.4 Anime
We have absolutely nothing against it. We believe, however, that there are plenty of online spaces dedicated for anime discussions already. This forum is reserved for stylistically different type of content. Therefore, we kindly ask you to avoid creating anime-specific threads.
2.5 Content devoid of mental clarity
Out of respect for the person writing in mental distress, or under the influence, posts that seemingly lack in mental clarity will be quietly withdrawn. If you are going through a rough period in your life, please stay safe. You may find which door to knock on for help here (not affiliated in any way).
2.6 Generative AI
AI-generated content is prohibited on this forum. Failure to comply with rule 2.6 will result in your account being permabanned. This rule does not apply, however, to cases where AI content is used for demonstrative purposes (as opposed to expressive and creative ways of AI usage, which are not allowed on this forum).
2.7 Vertical content
No vertical videos. Low entry barrier, usually poor quality.
Section #3: Prohibited Content
3.1 Identifiable personal details, or doxxed, info
3.2 Defamatory material
3.3 Material that violates copyright laws
It is unfortunate that copyright laws are often misused to work for the benefit of larger corporations within the creative industry, while harming the creators. Having said that, we do not condone any violations of such laws. Please, do your own research on how to reward the artist you like - do not steal their work! Any material, or links to such material, that infringes copyright laws will be removed. Posters of such material will be permabanned.
3.4 Explicit content
3.5 Militarism and justification of violence
Immediate ban. No warnings will be issued.
3.6 Social engineering (in political context), dogwhistling and accelerationism
Adversarial actors may use online spaces for the purpose of malicious influence. For one or another reason, they often attempt to impose widespread misperception of facts, or influence societal attitudes and behaviours. Forum moderators have certain tools to detect such attempts. If you are repeatedly caught violating rule 3.6, you will be permabanned.
