Official Club Rules
This is a Список of the Official Club Rules. It is expected that these are to be enforced by anyone who sees them being broken. (And by that I do not mean that Ты should instantly attack someone, или attack what they post. FIRST talk to them, and then if Ты need to, Сообщить whatever is breaking the rules. If it’s too offensive Ты can Сообщить it on the spot).
These were agreed upon by our community and will not be bent. If Ты feel these are unfair Ты are free to respectfully address us with your problems, but unless Ты are able to convince our community to change the rules, Ты are not allowed to break them.
But either way here are the following rules.
~No sexuality: No over-showing of cleavage или sexual body parts, no sexual gestures, no blatant porn, no Yuri или Yaoi, in roleplays, stories, или pictures (This applies to homosexuality as a whole). This club has already gone through a месяц of porn pictures being flashed on it and we don’t want that to start up again. It doesn’t matter if characters are married, in love, или if it’s just TOUCHING a body part, we need to keep things clean. (Now before I go on, because these are Mobians, yes nudity is allowed, but only in the context where Ты don’t Показать parts. I’ve Опубликовано unclothed characters of both gender before but I never draw the parts meant to be covered. Everyone can do the same.)
NOTE: Ты aren’t going to be flagged as inappropriate if Ты Показать a small amount of cleavage или naval. This should be AVOIDED but for the most part this sort of thing is usually much less important than the effort put into the pictures или stories and such. It is not our goal to make sure that everyone’s pictures and hard work is removed which is why people need to be careful with what they post. I don’t want to ruin anyone’s день so please don’t make it so anyone has to.
~No overgore: Now gore in general can be used for certain things. If Ты Показать a bite-mark, или you’re Показ special kinds of Кости или body parts that are Сверхъестественное или something along those lines, revealing that sort of thing is allowed as long as it isn’t overly gory. We don’t want to see intestines spewed all over the place, nor do we want to see blood gushing from someone’s shoulder. A cut, или even a little bit of blood is perfectly fine, but please don’t go crazy lest Ты ruin someone’s Dinner.
~No spamming: Basically don’t post things that aren’t sonic-fan-character related. If Ты have something non-fan-character related that Ты want to talk about Ты may post it once in the Комментарии или in the links, but only one или the other. This does NOT include constantly saying “Hello” или “I’m back” или “I’m leaving”. Those Комментарии were not allowed to begin with, but people just kept doing that and ignoring that rule. These Комментарии are almost never productive, they almost never turn out to be true as people leave and come back constantly, and they cause other Комментарии relating to the club to be sidelined. If Ты have something important, and by important I mean life-threatening-important, then Ты can post about it, but try to keep things on a small scale.
Also yes this does mean that unless you’re posting a music-video for someone’s theme song, what Ты post needs to have to do with Sonic Фан CHARACTERS. Sonic-Franchise stuff in general isn’t supposed to be here. Unless you’re posting something like Sonic Shorts 6, with it’s Fan-character guide, it’s SONIC-related, not SONIC-FAN-CHARACTER related.
NOTE: This does NOT mean that Ты are not allowed to Показать things that combine both Фан and cannon-related material, such as pictures with Sonic and your fan-character, или them in a fanfiction. Those are fine. But if it’s something that’s just cannon-Sonic, it doesn’t belong in our
~No Recolors: Recolors take the art from an actual artist and change it slightly, then Показать it off as your own when it isn’t. Regardless of that, even if Ты get permission from that person we don’t allow it. Recolors don’t look pretty and cause the club to look messy. Keep them from being in our community please.
~No Bases: Bases are basically recolors that Ты fill out yourself. If Ты want to use them on your own time to get better at models, that’s fine, but Ты aren’t allowed to post anything base-related on this club. Bases are unoriginal and sloppy, and many times they are based on recolors.
~No Doll-Maker-Pictures: If Ты are trying to figure out a Дизайн for a character and Ты want to use a Doll-Maker, или any kind of dress-up program, to do so, Ты can, but Ты cannot post it on our club. We only accept work that is actually drawn, not dressed-up. This doesn’t mean Ты can’t Показать the Дизайн to someone like say if it’s for a request, but if that is to happen it needs to happen in your area, not the community’s.
~Language: I understand that this club doesn’t cuss too often, but let me be clear about something here, there is a reason that Cuss-words are called that. They are meant to be foul versions of other words to cause offense. No one here is going to use the N-Bomb right? Then why do we use the F-Bomb? или the FM-Bomb? или the S-Bomb? I understand that people aren’t going to stop cussing all-together but I think we need to be еще civil about the words we use.
~No F-Bomb “Literally meaning sex and rape, this word is extremely unprofessional”.
~No S-Bomb “If you’re going to say poop in the first place then at least just say poop, not a word that is meant as a comparison to poop as an insult”.
~No N-Bomb “Self-explanatory”.
~No religious Cussing “This is something that I PERSONALLY cannot stand. There are religious people in our club. Every день they come to this club and have to put with “Oh my god” and “What the Hell”, или “God Dammit”, along with “Damn you” most of us have to restrain a lot of negative feelings. We don’t appreciate hearing people lightly use words that we are very serious about. One could argue that saying “Damn” would be an exception, and Ты can argue that if you’d like, but at the very least we all should be respectful enough not to use the word “God” in vain as a cuss-word.”
This applies to chat, roleplays, and anything else text-related. I understand that some use Cuss-words as a way to express emotional tension in their character’s personalities, или to Показать traits and fables and such. My suggestion to those is to simply replace the words with something else if Ты have to at all. Regardless of that however it does not apply when concerning religious cussing, или the others listed above. Those would not be allowed regardless. If Ты want to talk like that Ты may do so in your own area, but it does no harm not to cuss, but it can do harm when Ты do cuss.
~Common respect: Always Показать respect to one another. If Ты are in a disagreement Ты may debate, that’s fine, healthy even. But as soon as hostility rises up, или if blame/name-calling is put on to the table, it needs to either stop или be moved elsewhere.
This also applies to those who wish to reveal something about another person. Before Ты decide to post something against someone I suggest that Ты tell one of the users longest running here about it. If Ты feel that it was one of us who has done the deed, или that Ты cannot trust us, then talk to a different person about it for approval. If someone has done something against the club then it is best to keep the peace as best we can. That means that we need to allow the person Ты have something against to privately speak about it first before jumping to conclusions.
NOTE: However, in the end if it is something that greatly affects the group, или is a matter of abuse against a user, the information is free to be revealed. Anyone who does not want people to see their skeletons has every right not to Показать them, but people should know that no one around them is perfect. The other reason to reveal such evidence in an event like this is that of proof to those that may doubt или call names to someone for what happened.
Also, public attacks will not be tolerated. It is the very last resort that someone should be reported, and their account removed, which is why we must do everything we can to end the attacks if done, convince the person to stop, and then if we need to Сообщить them. If offensive content is shared then reporting it is your duty as a member of the club, but those who post it should always be allowed to defend themselves. However to those that feel upset that progress may be lost, such as in roleplays and such, if Ты post something offensive in the club, publicly, then that means there’s a chance someone may find it who shouldn’t see или read something like that, so unfortunately if offensive enough such posts will be reported on the spot. Please remember to keep courteous about what Ты post.
~Self-Control: Most know that I quite enjoy being random-happy-fun-times, but constantly bouncing out spasms of energy all over the club can greatly irritate people, and alienate them as well. Joking about, even Актёрское искусство completely insane, is perfectly fine, but only when anyone who is involved with the content Ты are doing in that in, approves of it.
FOR EXAMPLE: If Ты post a picture или a post, and start up a Болталка laughy-taffy adventure in it, Ты should make sure examine how the people react who also Комментарий on it. Ты should ask if they are okay with being crazy. To those who did NOT post the content however, remember that this was not yours and regardless of what Ты may want the post is someone else’s and they are allowed to do what they like as long as it does not violate the main rules.
This suggestion also stretches to that of the Chains. Now Sara, myself, and a few others came up with an idea for a Chain-Club already, so Ты don’t have to worry about that, but posting dozens of Болталка comments, или repeatedly going berserk in roelplay comments, those things are not allowed. Self-control is a constant must around some people. When both people are perfectly fine with crazy, do whatever you’d like, but if one is not alright with the situation, please be courteous.
~Involvement
>If Ты are asked to read a story, take time to at least read the first few parts. If Ты aren’t interested then Ты don’t have to continue but we should always give something a chance.
>If Ты want someone to read your story then take time out of your день to read one you’ve seen.
>If Ты see a contest being held, go through your schedule and think of if Ты can enter. If Ты see three или еще entries then Ты don’t have to try it, but we should NEVER see a Вопрос that says “Help Wanted” for any other reason than no one being online.
>If Ты agree to be part of a Форум Roleplay, always try to stick with it. If Ты can’t continue do NOT vanish from it, but at the same time don’t say you’re going to leave right off the bat. Talk to the members, mainly the creator of the forum, and talk it over until there is an agreement. In the end Ты can always leave when Ты want, but at least give warnings first.
>Feedback: Whenever Ты are part of a forum, a roleplay, see a picture, hear music, watch a video, read a story, etc. make sure that Ты at least say SOMETHING about it, whether you’re talking about a suggestion, a compliment, или just asking about it, to Показать that Ты at least remember what it was about. Something was cool in it? Tell the person. They won’t know unless Ты tell them, and always do your best to be supportive and make them happy. If Ты think it’s terrible, then suggest a way to make it better, but mention strengths in it as well.
In the end I think this will always just be a suggestion, but it’s quite rude when someone puts together a huge even, taking a lot of time out of their life, and a lot of planning to do it, only to have almost no one, или no one, enter into it.
~Understand the Сообщить system. I will go over what the buttons are for.
>Inappropriate: Something that is offensive, vulgar, или insulting by any means.
>Spam: Something unrelated или repeated; something unneeded.
>Broken: Not-working correctly, half-loaded, glitched
>Outdated: Expired, no longer usable или reference-able (I will note that this rarely happens on the club, but this does apply to contests, story/game-suggestions, etc. that never happened and will note return. These just confuse new users)
These are there for a REASON. They are there because if something fits that criteria then they are allowed to be reported. Before someone says “Someone can just say that something like a spoon is offensive” most of us are mature enough to tell the difference and not play that card, but either way Ты can always tell what is offensive based on the club rules. If something is in contrast to them then it is inappropriate.
Do NOT be afraid to use these if Ты have to, but only do when Ты have to. These are not your enemy. A lot of users get very upset when something of theirs is removed, but most of the time it’s removed because it was against the club, and facebook, rules. These people sometimes go after those who reported them. While people should always discuss problems first, if Ты feel that Ты need to Сообщить something, Ты should do so and not choke. No matter how upset someone may get it will need to be done and the longer Ты wait is the longer that it is there, breaking the rules, and/or offending someone.
Those are the rules. I’d like to point out one еще time, this is not a dictatorship. There were WEEKS, MONTHS almost, of time I gave for anyone to speak up about this. I mentioned this before and encouraged people to be involved. An appeal for something, или at least a discussion about something, is always available, but know that these are our club rules, and while we do NOT EVER condone getting someone removed (Unless a blatant troll), content will be removed if it violates the standards.
Thank Ты for reading.
