Official Club Rules
This is a فہرست of the Official Club Rules. It is expected that these are to be enforced سے طرف کی anyone who sees them being broken. (And سے طرف کی that I do not mean that آپ should instantly attack someone, یا attack what they post. FIRST talk to them, and then if آپ need to, رپورٹ whatever is breaking the rules. If it’s too offensive آپ can رپورٹ it on the spot).
These were agreed upon سے طرف کی our community and will not be bent. If آپ feel these are unfair آپ are free to respectfully address us with your problems, but unless آپ are able to convince our community to change the rules, آپ are not allowed to break them.
But either way here are the following rules.
~No sexuality: No over-showing of cleavage یا sexual body parts, no sexual gestures, no blatant porn, no Yuri یا Yaoi, in roleplays, stories, یا pictures (This applies to homosexuality as a whole). This club has already gone through a ماہ 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, یا 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 آپ don’t دکھائیں parts. I’ve گیا کیا پوسٹ unclothed characters of both gender before but I never draw the parts meant to be covered. Everyone can do the same.)
NOTE: آپ aren’t going to be flagged as inappropriate if آپ دکھائیں a small amount of cleavage یا 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 یا 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 دن so please don’t make it so anyone has to.
~No overgore: Now gore in general can be used for certain things. If آپ دکھائیں a bite-mark, یا you’re دکھانا special kinds of bones یا body parts that are supernatural یا 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, یا even a little bit of blood is perfectly fine, but please don’t go crazy lest آپ ruin someone’s Dinner.
~No spamming: Basically don’t post things that aren’t sonic-fan-character related. If آپ have something non-fan-character related that آپ want to talk about آپ may post it once in the تبصرے یا in the links, but only one یا the other. This does NOT include constantly saying “Hello” یا “I’m back” یا “I’m leaving”. Those تبصرے were not allowed to begin with, but people just kept doing that and ignoring that rule. These تبصرے are almost never productive, they almost never turn out to be true as people leave and come back constantly, and they cause other تبصرے relating to the club to be sidelined. If آپ have something important, and سے طرف کی important I mean life-threatening-important, then آپ 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 آپ post needs to have to do with Sonic پرستار 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 آپ are not allowed to دکھائیں things that combine both پرستار and cannon-related material, such as pictures with Sonic and your fan-character, یا 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 دکھائیں it off as your own when it isn’t. Regardless of that, even if آپ 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 آپ fill out yourself. If آپ want to use them on your own time to get better at models, that’s fine, but آپ 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 آپ are trying to figure out a design for a character and آپ want to use a Doll-Maker, یا any kind of dress-up program, to do so, آپ can, but آپ cannot post it on our club. We only accept work that is actually drawn, not dressed-up. This doesn’t mean آپ can’t دکھائیں the design 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? یا the FM-Bomb? یا the S-Bomb? I understand that people aren’t going to stop cussing all-together but I think we need to be مزید 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 دن they come to this club and have to put with “Oh my god” and “What the Hell”, یا “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 آپ 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, یا to دکھائیں traits and fables and such. My suggestion to those is to simply replace the words with something else if آپ have to at all. Regardless of that however it does not apply when concerning religious cussing, یا the others listed above. Those would not be allowed regardless. If آپ want to talk like that آپ may do so in your own area, but it does no harm not to cuss, but it can do harm when آپ do cuss.
~Common respect: Always دکھائیں respect to one another. If آپ are in a disagreement آپ may debate, that’s fine, healthy even. But as soon as hostility rises up, یا if blame/name-calling is put on to the table, it needs to either stop یا be moved elsewhere.
This also applies to those who wish to reveal something about another person. Before آپ decide to post something against someone I suggest that آپ tell one of the users longest running here about it. If آپ feel that it was one of us who has done the deed, یا that آپ 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 آپ 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, یا 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 دکھائیں 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 یا 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 رپورٹ 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 آپ post something offensive in the club, publicly, then that means there’s a chance someone may find it who shouldn’t see یا read something like that, so unfortunately if offensive enough such posts will be reported on the spot. Please remember to keep courteous about what آپ 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 acting completely insane, is perfectly fine, but only when anyone who is involved with the content آپ are doing in that in, approves of it.
FOR EXAMPLE: If آپ post a picture یا a post, and start up a random laughy-taffy adventure in it, آپ should make sure examine how the people react who also تبصرہ on it. آپ 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 آپ 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 آپ don’t have to worry about that, but posting dozens of random comments, یا 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 آپ are asked to read a story, take time to at least read the first few parts. If آپ aren’t interested then آپ don’t have to continue but we should always give something a chance.
>If آپ want someone to read your story then take time out of your دن to read one you’ve seen.
>If آپ see a contest being held, go through your schedule and think of if آپ can enter. If آپ see three یا مزید entries then آپ don’t have to try it, but we should NEVER see a سوال that says “Help Wanted” for any other reason than no one being online.
>If آپ agree to be part of a فورم Roleplay, always try to stick with it. If آپ 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 آپ can always leave when آپ want, but at least give warnings first.
>Feedback: Whenever آپ are part of a forum, a roleplay, see a picture, hear music, watch a video, read a story, etc. make sure that آپ at least say SOMETHING about it, whether you’re talking about a suggestion, a compliment, یا just asking about it, to دکھائیں that آپ at least remember what it was about. Something was cool in it? Tell the person. They won’t know unless آپ tell them, and always do your best to be supportive and make them happy. If آپ 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, یا no one, enter into it.
~Understand the رپورٹ system. I will go over what the buttons are for.
>Inappropriate: Something that is offensive, vulgar, یا insulting سے طرف کی any means.
>Spam: Something unrelated یا repeated; something unneeded.
>Broken: Not-working correctly, half-loaded, glitched
>Outdated: Expired, no longer usable یا 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 آپ 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 آپ have to, but only do when آپ 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 آپ feel that آپ need to رپورٹ something, آپ should do so and not choke. No matter how upset someone may get it will need to be done and the longer آپ 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 مزید 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, یا 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 آپ for reading.
