You're right, it's not allowed. When you create a character it isn't screened or anything though, so of course things like this will be posted.
Just report them and the admin team will take a look!
So i found these two ,,OCs", Error and Ink.
I am wondering why these OCs are allowed to be on toyhouse when they very clearly are just the two characters Ink!Sans and Error!Sans as wolves? The owner even stated that the two characters are actually skeletons which look exactly like Ink and Error Sans which do not belong to the user, and that he only made them a wolf design to be able to draw them easier. I am in no way trying to be mean here, i just want to understand - because from what i know, it´s not allowed to upload canon characters, even IF you make them into wolves.
I'm actually a bit curious about what the answer to this was, as I saw a lot of characters that were also canon but turned into another species. I don't quite know the rules as to this, so clarification would be much appreciated :0
That makes sense, I tried to contact TH admin asking about it but I've heard they've been rather inactive lately so I'm not expecting a reply anytime soon. :0
possum_bro forgive me for asking, but what does MYO mean?
If you're asking "why is this allowed", the answer is likely "it hasn't been reported". If you see a character or user breaking the rules, send a report.
A hint for these cases is to title the Ticket "Rule 5.1 Violation" as that does give the one answering tickets a good idea what is going on. Now if that actually helps or not with response time I have no idea, it seemed to when I used it, but that was also a few months back, when people were just then noticing slower mod actions, it could have slowed, or well yeah I guess we just wait and see.
Dittoing that ticket titles help.
I've been titling "[name of canon character] as [animal]" or "[name of canon character] AU" in my reports and they've been going well too. I link up not only the "OC" but also the canon character on a wiki.
Okay my dudes, UPDATE: so the owner responded with:
,,
In regards to Error I've already been reported for it, and the mods decided that it is allowed.
Also maybe you should do your research before going after me.

and provided me with https://abload.de/img/unknownnrj5c.png this screenshot.
In this case, it looks like AU (dog) of an AU (ink) of a canon character (sans) created by someone who allows derivative works (Toby Fox) is allowed. Since the parent AU (ink) of this particular AU character (dog ink) also allows derivative works, the character is allowed.
This is absolutely an exceptional case, however, and it lies concretely on Toby's rules as the founder, who is followed up by Ink's rules as AU creator. If either of them disallowed AU versions, these examples would've been pulled.
