1. Keep in agreement with the Proboards TOS, listed here:
2. Do not plagiarize anyone else’s work! Plagiarism is highly illegal. If you are caught doing this, you will be banned without warning.

ﱵ Sexual Scenes
ﱵ Pornography
ﱵ Hentai/Yaoi/Yuri
ﱵ Illegal Drugs
ﱵ Alcohol
ﱵ Illegal Content
4. There will be no flaming of the members here. No one likes to feel hated, and we aren’t here to do that. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.
5. Spamming; word games; and double posting, except in certain areas, is forbidden. This site is for serious art and discussion, not to massively play games.
Double posting is only allowed if you are posting your artwork or tutorial, and it exceeds the maximum post allowance.
6. Keep swearing to a bare minimum. While the word censors are off, they can be turned on again very quickly. You are being trusted to be mature. Act accordingly please.
7. Tolerance is key. There is to be no discrimination or prejudice at all on this site. Artwork is a form of self-expression, and this must be understood universally. Items to be kept in tolerance and not prejudice are for, but not limited to, the following:
ﱵ Religion
ﱵ Gender
ﱵ Sexual Orientation
ﱵ Mental Health Status
ﱵ Handicaps
ﱵ Racial
ﱵ Age
ﱵ Culture
8. Do not advertise your board or websites anywhere on the forums, outside of your signature. Your signature is the only place you may advertise in, and all sites advertised must be appropriate.
9. No posting one-word comments, such as “awesome!” or “cool!” Try to be more in-depth. Comments must be at least ten words in length.
10. No posting hate comments. If you don’t like it, say nothing. If you feel it can be improved, say so, but nicely and with a reason why you feel as such.
11. If you aren’t prepared for an honest critique, then do not post it. Never assume that everyone is going to fall in love with your work. You will probably get comments that share advice to help you improve and grow as an artist. Accept it.
12. Harassing the staff is wrong. If you feel a staff member is in the wrong, or abusing their power; then please send me a complaint and where I can view the behavior via PM. I will handle things from there. It is not your place as members to discuss the proper forum operations with the staff in such a manner.
If you are found to be in disregard of the rules, you will be contacted. This is known as a warning. If you receive three warnings, you will be banned for a week. If you are banned three times, you will not be allowed to return to the site. A warning lasts for a month at a time, so after a month your warning will decrease by one.

Ex:
BAD- OMFG! That piece is a total crapload! Mega suckage! You’re crappy, and I hate it!
GOOD- The image doesn’t appeal to me because it’s too busy. I feel that if you had less going on in the picture, and a more distinct focal point, that it would be more attractive. But very nice try with this! It looks as if you’re on the right track!
