The Rules
General Site Rules:

- It also included computer generated or drawn images that look too real - eg images created by poser.
These are called psuedophotos and
are classed as child pornography if they involve a minor - therefore they are
not permitted anywhere on the site (regardless of the apparent age of the subject).
- Offenders will be banned immediately and permanently!
In no area of this website are users allowed to talk about real children with a reference to any kind of sexual fetish.
- Comments like "my kids" are strictly forbidden even if the "kids" being referred to are over 18. Offenders may be banned.
Please do not post unrelated links in any areas of the sites - all links in signatures should be on topic.

No trolling (inciting flames)
This is an English site so please post EVERYTHING in English
- Keep swearing to a minimum
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.
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.

- RolePlay Rules in Brief:
No forced actions in rps (eg check to see if the other party is comfortable with a more extreme scenario etc either at the start of the roleplay, through ooc comments or through private message)
- Sex is fine as long as everyone in the roleplay is comfortable with it, however all characters must also be of a legal age (18+) and this must be clearly stated in the early posts of the roleplay.
- Rape (any non-consensual sex, sex acts, sodomy etc) is strictly prohibited in all roleplays with no exceptions. All sex scenes must be 100% consensual between the all characters involved (not just the roleplayers).
Persistent offenders will be banned - permanently.
- To clarify: (From the characters point of view, not the roleplayers) Non-consensual sex acts are not fine.
Gallery Rules:
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 the "
Communal Gallery."
Do not upload work by other members of the community around the site randomly. Upload into their gallery or, for preferance - please ask them to upload it instead, this way it will go into their own user folder under their own name.
If you are an artist and have a lot of work you wish uploaded on your 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 and in gallery comments.
Uploading can give false errors.
- Always check the gallery you just uploaded to BEFORE reuploading the picture.
The Front page works on a fifteen minute delay.
- Your pictures will NOT instantly appear there. Always check the gallery before reuploading any pictures.
Note: Uploading multiple duplicates can sometimes screw-up all versions of a picture leaving you with none.
Always check for Duplicates first!!
Upload Images into the correct Folder - uploading randomly is considered image-dumping and SPAM.
This is not...
- This is not a Furry site, please keep characters mostly human, don't upload furry art. Some consideration can be given when it is your own art but otherwise there are plenty of other furry sites that will be delighted to have the art.
- This is not a Shota site, don't upload Shota or little boys, they'll just be deleted.
- This is not a vore or gore site. We Do Not Want.
As with the rest of the site: DO NOT UPLOAD PHOTOs or 3D images! You WILL be banned.
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.
- Offending members should be reported to one of the administrators.
- To Report, 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 the Admins of the site.
Disciplinary Policy
Should you run afoul of of the site Rules, such as harrassment, sex acts with minors 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.
