[4/30] Code of Conduct Discussion

Posted 7 years, 2 days ago (Edited 6 years, 8 months ago) by admin

[4/30] We have updated the Code of Conduct to reflect the new rules as discussed on this thread.

We'll be leaving this thread up to take further suggestions and feedback on the rules in the future, as well as for keeping track of our history of changes to the COC, so please let us know either via this thread, or via the ticket desk or PM if you have any thoughts or concerns. 

[4/30] Major changes:

  • We will now be enforcing behavioural conduct rules: this includes locking and deleting threads or characters which are overly hostile or aggressive.
  • NSFW artwork containing characters which are described as under 18 or described as appearing under 18 (or the equivalent age of adulthood in non-human species) are now prohibited. Note that this includes gratuitous violence towards minors which is presented as sexual or fetishised.
  • NSFW now has been separated into different content filter categories - please read up and let us know if you have any suggestions for further categorisation. 
  • We may add content warnings to characters or forum posts that contain sensitive or offensive content, please don't remove these unless you also revise the content.
  • Accounts which contain nothing but, or a large ratio of parody or satire characters will have their Listing privileges revoked. Hateful or insulting satire is now strictly prohibited.
  • Public blacklisting is now explicitly allowed, albeit with restrictions on tone.
  • Report trolling/baiting is now disallowed.
  • Some information was added on how to properly report a scam - unfortunately a large quantity of tickets we can't do anything with currently because we lack sufficient evidence to take action.

Users will not incur retroactive warnings or account sanctions for any changes made to the Code of Conduct, but we will be going through and removing any old content that violates the new rules.

I'm happy to see updates happening! I was a bit concerned when I joined and hadn't seen much in that regard. The new rules look fair and well thought out to me, thank you!

The updated NSFW rules are absolutely the perfect way to go, thank you!!! I can't imagine how many people are turned away from the community because of the amount of 'chibi pastel kemonomimi nsfw' that's... absolutely underage.

I would like to ask in regards to this section;

  • "Hateful or insulting rhetoric targeting any race, sexual orientation, gender, or disability."

Does this mean you'll be taking action against people who use slurs in their character profiles? There is an unbelievable amount of character's I've seen referred to 'herms' and 'traps', which is fetishizing + insulting to trans and intersex people. They come up pretty often in the featured feed, and I'd rather having my friend's days not ruined.

Thanks for the update ヾ(*´∀`*)ノ
