DISCORD
Discord will be the main space utilized for chatting, sharing art, and roleplay. The discord is private, and will not be open to non-members.
Members who join the discord should change their nickname to their preferred name and their toyhouse name. This way others can find your account, and know what to call you.
Ex: Evan [Relevancies]
DISCORD RULES
This server implements a "safeword" system. If someone is uncomfortable with an in character or out of character interaction (over-familiarity, romantic advances, banter, etc) they may respond to your comment with a simple 🛑 . This is just a gentle indicator that they would prefer to end the current line of conversation or the direction of this conversation, and we ask that that be respected!
No tracing. Art must be your own. Tracing or copying other work to pass as yours goes against the nature of this space of creativity.
Be kind. Don’t be passive aggressive, or insulting. If you have issues with another member contact an admin. Flaming another member in a public space isn’t tolerated.
Avoid heavy or triggering topics. Medical issues, deaths, any information that could be distressing, or hard to respond to. Avoid oversharing.
Don’t guilt trip. Insulting yourself/your capabilities in order to draw sympathy, or other reactions from members. "I'm not as good at drawing as you", or pressuring others into interactions ie. "I wish someone would ship with my character but maybe they're too unlikeable"
Don’t overshadow other people. Consistently jumping into an active conversation to change the subject to be focused on yourself, or talking over other members in a way that diverts attention from them/their characters. If someone shares art, don’t immediately post your own without recognizing their work, or acknowledging their contribution.
ROLEPLAY RULES
No Power Play: Taking control of another member’s character (actions or words).
No God-Modding: Making your character perfect to the point of no faults. (Strength, beauty, brains, etc) Making a character who cannot lose.Â
No Metagaming: using knowledge uncovered out of character, and giving that knowledge to your character when they had no way of knowing, or had not uncovered that information yet.
IN CONCLUSION...
Members who act without regard to the rules, other people, or create a toxic environment will be banned from the group and discord.Â
Please DM Evan if you have trouble with another member, if someone is breaking the rules, or making others uncomfortable. A safe and comfortable creative environment for everyone is the main goal of this group.
