Member Rules


Hello and welcome to the Aw0001 World! Please read the rules below so we can work together to make Aw0001 an enjoyable place to be. 

These rules stem from existing situations the mods experienced or witnessed across the mod team's time working both as moderators for this community and other closed species/ non-closed species communities. 

You must be over 18 to join and participate in Aw0001.  If you're under 18, you will be banned from the group until you're verifiably 18 or for eight years if we are unable to verify.  


Overview

  • Be respectful to your fellow members. If you have a problem with someone, please contact one of the staff.   
  • This community is 18+ but please no explicit porn, NSFW pics, or extended discussion regarding mental health, drugs, politics, etc. 
  • We aim for this community to be lighthearted and a chill place to hang. 
  • Please do not use Aw0001s as a dumping ground.  
  •  We do not intend to have a full NSFW area and advise you to read the NSFW rules below.  
  • We are an LGBTQIAP+ friendly community and CS.  
  • Please be polite to your fellow members and minimize braggadocious discussion regarding adopts or obsessive monitoring of any Aw0001-related payment. 
  • Try to reduce any compulsive picking on the number (or lack thereof) of MYO slots you may/may not possess.    
  • Please minimize comments over negative perceptions of your art or compliment fishing as this may cause distress to both you and other members.    
  • Be courteous regarding free requests - refrain from making comments about missing request openings, hogging art requests, or begging people for free art.    


Member Conduct
  •  We encourage honesty and respect in this community to grow and encourage and support each other.    
  • This community is 18+ but please no explicit porn, NSFW pics, or extended discussion regarding mental health, drugs, politics, etc. 
  • We aim for this community to be lighthearted and a chill place to hang. Please do not use Aw0001s as a dumping ground.    
  • Be civil and polite to each other, even if you don't get along with the other party.    
  • Please respect people's boundaries.    
  • Do not give feedback or crit without their explicit go-ahead.    
  • We have a range of people from different cultural backgrounds and ages. Be aware that this may shape how they type and perceive the world.   
  • Always ask for clarification if you're unsure of what's being said instead of jumping to conclusions.    
  • Avoid jokes about taking someone's OC, slots, or traits unless you two are familiar and have an understanding related to this. Other members may not appreciate these sorts of statements. 
NSFW and Gore/Candy Gore
  •  This community is 18+ but please no explicit porn, NSFW pics or hardcore sexual details.  
  • When posting things related to blood/gore, please spoiler the image and indicate why the picture is spoilered.  
  • Do not post excessive or detailed gore such as visible fleshy/candy organs, body damage, details of amputation, decapitation, or heart-ripping.   
  • Sexual gore or real-life gore is not allowed. You will be banned without warning if you post these things.   

Exceptions

  • Minor amounts of blood (bloody noses or mouths) do not need to be spoilered as long as it's not excessive. 
  • Minor wounds and bruising is okay as long as they're not the focus of the piece or show in detail or excessively.   


  • DO NOT SEND PORN TO OTHER USERS WITHOUT THEIR EXPLICIT PERMISSION. Doing the previous action is cause for a 2-strike warning. 


Warnings
  • We do not intend to micromanage our members and don't give warnings without good reason. However, we want to emphasize that we are here to keep the community safe. Please reach out to us either through our suggestion box or directly if you have a problem.   
  • You will be given up to three formal warnings through the server ticket system or world if you break specific rules frequently, actively engage in drama with other members in this server, or cause harm to other outside members in a way that could affect our community.   
  • Do not harass other members to give you their designs. You will be issued a warning for this.  
  • Do not harass users who you suspect to have an unofficial design. You will be issued a 2-strike warning for this.
  • Certain things will result in an immediate ban, such as posting sexual or real-life gore.   
  • We will warn you if we believe that you're joining AW0001 to promote your adopts and run. We are not an advertising server.
  • Sexual gore or real-life gore is not permitted. You will be banned without warning if you post these things.    
  • DO NOT SEND PORN OR GORE TO OTHER USERS WITHOUT THEIR EXPLICIT PERMISSION. Doing the previous action is cause for a 2-strike warning.

  • We do not look kindly on users tracing and stealing art. We will speak to you personally if we believe you have done so. If we find that the art is traced or stolen within a reasonable doubt, we will issue you a 2 strike warning. If we have reason to believe that you are a serial tracer, you will be banned immediately.  
    • Tracing is a legitimate learning tool used in professional art with photos the artist has taken themself or has legal permission. We are okay with the second and third points but not the first. Do not submit traced art.  We will also consider if the artist is no longer actively tracing.   
  • We aim to be a healthy and safe community. We do not condone drama of any sort and reserve the right to remove you from the community if you do so. 

  • The following is a loose list of things that could result in your removal:   
  • Abuse or harassment of our moderators in ANY form.  
  • Starting fights with our moderators or owner.  
  • Abuse of any of your fellow members, including gaslighting, calling out another member publicly. 
  • Ask for a moderator if you're unsure for mediation purposes or contact the other member directly to resolve this situation. 
    • » Please state if you want a second opinion only and not to reach out to the other user for mediation purposes.
