Since this community has (almost) no rules I think it is time to write some. As I’m not a fan of simple top-down ruling, I would like to create these rules with all of you.
Here is how it should go:
- write a rule you propose as a top-level comment (it can be just a description of the rule or a full wording)
- discussions about proposals happen as comment-replies; if you want to suggest a better wording, do it as a top-level comment
- rules with the most upvotes or last controversy will be included by me (but might be reworded)
- When posting artwork, cite the source and name the author. If possible with links to their socials.
- AI content is not welcome. (You can still post discussions about it if the topic is something you consider important for the community.)
As a side note, it might be worth it to remind everyone not to accuse others of using AI without clear evidence. I remember seeing one instance of that happening here recently, and it can be highly demoralizing for artists to be wrongly accused.
- Don’t be an ass. While disagreements are normal in a discussions, personal attacs and harassment are going to be removed.
attacks
last rule: Don’t bring us in legal trouble.
NSFW policy. What is/is not allowed, what should go into one of the dedicated communities instead, etc…
No fur-shaming. Seems to go without saying, but there are various levels of the fandom, from those who appreciate the art, those who like the lewd stuff, those with partial costumes end/or who cosplay furry adjacent characters, to the full fursuiters — all should be welcomed.
Good point. I think this can even be integrated into the community description. If it states that all are welcome, then my proposed rule will cover the “no fur-shaming” (IMO).
Description adjusted to:
General community for furry stuff, art and memes!
No matter if you have one or multiple fursonas (animal-based or not), maybe even with a fursuit, or are just here to enjoy the artworks; all are welcome and respected here.Also, would somebody be so kind and report this comment so that I can see if notifications work as expected?
there you go!
