First: No! We do not tolerant rude people!
You heard it right, we are not xChan or xAwful. As our rule specified, Trolling, harassment, poor language, and general lack of politeness are not tolerated here! If you see behavior that is rude, or otherwise not suitable for a friendly community. We rely on people to report those incidents! It doesn't matter if it is just a forum thread, a comment in the gallery, A private message, in a chat profile, in a story, in a blog. Even though there is no specific rule individually, as a site, we still expect you to behave in a mature and friendly manner. If you are not sure how to report stuff, just send me a PM. We will review your report and takes measures that are necessary to keep this place fair and friendly to all.
Second: No! This site does NOT do request!
The only time where it is appropriate to request drawing or writing or whatever, is when the artist specifically said they are open for a request! And the only method of asking for those request is to respond exactly as they specified. This site does not have a request section for that reason. It has a Suggestion & inspiration for suggestion and inspiration ONLY. Private message or Gallery comment is NOT appropriate for such a task unless artist specifically allows it.
Third: Stop harassment and inappropriate behavior!
Of course, it is all case to case. We won't promise we will do exactly what you want to do but will try our best to be fair. However, the key point is: You need to do something about it. You can't exact it to just go away. Ignoring them does not work. It is like the saying, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good man do nothing."
If someone is doing something you don't like to you. You are required to ask them to stop. And if you asked them, they are required to grant you this wish! If they don't, they will be removed from this site, fairly plain and simple. Contacting you by external media like IM or e-mail after being told to stop are still considered harassment and we will review more serious cases individually.
Fourth: This site is built for the Contributors!
If, as a contributor, whether you are an artist, writer, whatever, felt that the site is not working well enough for you. Please give us some feedback. I do read every one of them and respond to every one of them personally.
As for guideline, there are tons and tons and tons of guidelines already! However, if everyone actually cares to read them, this notices wouldn't even be necessary! We rely on the good user* to help us boots the bad apples out! The only way to hurt them is if their behavior is bringing them harm! Various other activity, like removing your gallery, posting a rant in the blog, are all a good way to relives your frustration, but ultimately, does nothing to help the issue.
Finally: All preferences are Equal!
What fantasy you enjoy do not, I repeat, do not make you a better person. Or the worst person, for that matter. This is a core principle this site has always held, and you, as a member, must uphold this without reserve.
This is not just a suggestion. This is mandatory.
*If you are reading this, you are 90% likely to be one of those.
