*GENERAL RULES*
​
Please be kind, courteous, and respectful of members and moderators.
Must be age 18+
-Violence, language, and mature content is accepted within the group. We urge members to respect interpersonal boundaries as well as ask permission when involving other members and their characters. NSFW interactions and role play must be kept private or within NSFW channels.
None of the following:
Godmodding- is taking control of another player's character during roleplay. It's frowned upon and with good reason: you only control your character and no one else's.
Metagaming: is a term used in role-playing games, which describes a player's use of real-life knowledge concerning the state of the game to determine their character's actions, when said character has no relevant knowledge or awareness under the circumstances.
Power playing- is when a player manipulates their character's abilities, powers or skills so that their character always has an advantage in the situation.
Remain Active
-Event participation not only rewards you with the tools to help your characters grow, but it also provides a means to keep you active within the group. Activity checks will be infrequent but mandatory.
-We understand this is an elective activity, and not a priority item in your every day life. If you are finding yourself unusually busy during the time of activity checks just let us know and we will accommodate accordingly.
Keep conflict to a minimum
-If you are experiencing issues between you and another member, please do your best not to exacerbate the issue further. Please let a moderator know and we will do our best to work something out. Member comfort is our top priority.
-If your conflict is WITH a moderator, please message the group admin at your earliest convenience.
​
Be considerate of people's time
Just as this is a free activity, the moderation is also being done in their free time. We will do our best to respond in a timely manner, or at least provide a window of time in which we will be able to respond. Transparency is key. Time frame for events will be explicitly posted and enforced, with extensions given on a case-by-case basis.
​
Acquire Authorization First
We encourage creativity within this group, however in certain circumstances we ask for you as the member to acquire moderator approval.
-You should reach out to a moderator when initiating a larger RP within the group server. Slice-of-life RPs generally wouldn't need approval but member-created events/festivities may be discouraged due to future plot points

*ART/SUBMISSION RULES*
​
No theft, tracing, or copying
-All content submitted to the group must be completely original, with very little exception. Stealing content, tracing, heavily reverencing, or use of bases will not be considered as original content.
No AI
The use of AI art is strictly prohibited. AI "Art" is explicitly trained using other artist's work almost always without their permission. There will be zero tolerance for people using AI work for official submissions, and discouraged in un-official settings.
Adopted/Commissioned Designs
-These are acceptable as long as the artwork relates to the group. The original artist must be credited in the submission process.
-Commissioned Art may be subject to a different grading scale than art created by the member.
Mature Content Warning
-The group is rated 18+ and artwork may reflect as such. However, we do ask that the proper censorship precautions are taken. Violence/Gore/Nudity must be censored accordingly.
Submit to Correct Folders
-Please be mindful of which folders you are submitting to. We’ll try our best to catch the mishaps!
Credit All Depictions
When referencing other characters characters/pokemon please post the proper credits in the description section of your submission. Credit the character creator, and a link to the apps for all those depicted.
​
Acquire Authorization First
We encourage creativity within this group, however in certain circumstances we ask for you as the member to acquire moderator approval.
-When creating a character or pokemon whose design may border on what may be acceptable for approval, you may want to request authorization from the moderation team.
Our general rule is that characters should be instantly recognizable as human, and pokemon should be instantly recognizable as their species.
Minor design changes, and the manifestation of certain genes, should generally be approved. But if uncertain just run it by us.
If a character or design is rejected we will provide you with reasoning and steps to take to make amends. It's just easier for all parties to address concerns early.
