This is a suggestion sheet. Here I will 一覧 off rules that are part of the club currently and will not be changed, as well as suggestions for rules, and leave the コメント for what あなた want as rules.



Solid Rules (unchangeable Rules basically)

~No sexuality: No over-showing of cleavage または sexual body parts, no sexual gestures, no blatant porn, no Yuri または Yao, in roleplays, stories, または pictures. This club has already gone through a 月 of porn pictures being flashed on it and we don’t want that to start up again. It doesn’t matter if characters are married, in love, または if it’s just TOUCHING a body part, we need to keep things clean. (Now before I go on, because these are Mobians, yes nudity is allowed, but only in the context where あなた don’t 表示する parts. I’ve 投稿されました unclothed characters of both gender before but I never draw the parts meant to be covered. Everyone can do the same.)
NOTE: あなた aren’t going to be flagged as inappropriate if あなた 表示する a small amount of cleavage または naval. This should be AVOIDED but for the most part this sort of thing is usually much less important than the effort put into the pictures または stories and such. It is not our goal to make sure that everyone’s pictures and hard work is removed which is why people need to be careful with what they post. I don’t want to ruin anyone’s 日 so please don’t make it so anyone has to.

~No overgore: Now gore in general can be used for certain things. If あなた 表示する a bite-mark, または you’re 表示中 special kinds of BONES（ボーンズ）-骨は語る- または body parts that are スーパーナチュラル または something along those lines, revealing that sort of thing is allowed as long as it isn’t overly gory. We don’t want to see intestines spewed all over the place, nor do we want to see blood gushing from someone’s shoulder. A cut, または even a little bit of blood is perfectly fine, but please don’t go crazy lest あなた ruin someone’s Dinner.

~No spamming: Basically don’t post things that aren’t sonic-fan-character related. If あなた have something non-fan-character related that あなた want to talk about あなた may post it once in the コメント または in the links, but only one または the other. This does NOT include constantly saying “Hello” または “I’m back” または “I’m leaving”. Those コメント were not allowed to begin with, but people just kept doing that and ignoring that rule. These コメント are almost never productive, they almost never turn out to be true as people leave and come back constantly, and they cause other コメント relating to the club to be sidelined. If あなた have something important, and によって important I mean life-threatening-important, then あなた can post about it, but try to keep things on a small scale.
Also yes this does mean that unless you’re posting a music-video for someone’s theme song, what あなた post needs to have to do with Sonic ファン CHARACTERS. Sonic-Franchise stuff in general isn’t supposed to be here. Unless you’re posting something like Sonic Shorts 6, with it’s Fan-character guide, it’s SONIC-related, not SONIC-FAN-CHARACTER related.
NOTE: This does NOT mean that あなた are not allowed to 表示する things that combine both ファン and cannon-related material, such as pictures with Sonic and your fan-character, または them in a fanfiction. Those are fine. But if it’s something that’s just cannon-Sonic, it doesn’t belong in our

~No Recolors: Recolors take the art from an actual artist and change it slightly, then 表示する it off as your own when it isn’t. Regardless of that, even if あなた get permission from that person we don’t allow it. Recolors don’t look pretty and cause the club to look messy. Keep them from being in our community please.
Based on the other hand, and Furry-Doll-Makers, are suggested AGAINST, but they are not illegal on this club. We do not consider Furry-Doll-Maker drawings to be hard-worked art, but they can be used to model designs for characters, and are therefore useful. Bases are good also for modeling and creating templates to help people along in a stuck design.
The reason however that these are warned against is because of how often they are used. Constantly these can be seen on the club if allowed to spread. Thankfully of recently it hasn’t been very bad, but if you’re using either of these please keep it to a minimum. Thank you.





SUGGESTION RULES
(These are rules that I wish to add but are not set in stone unless I am 与えられた enough support for them)

~Language: I understand that this club doesn’t cuss too often, but let me be clear about something here, there is a reason that Cuss-words are called that. They are meant to be foul versions of other words to cause offense. No one here is going to use the N-Bomb right? Then why do we use the F-Bomb? または the FM-Bomb? または the S-Bomb?
My suggestion is that there be a on the type of language allowed. I understand that people aren’t going to stop cussing all-together but I think we need to be もっと見る civil about the words we use.
~No F-Bomb “Literally meaning sex and rape, this word is extremely unprofessional”.
~No S-Bomb “If you’re going to say poop in the first place then at least just say poop, not a word that is meant as a comparison to poop as an insult”.
~No N-Bomb “Self-explanatory”.
~No religious Cussing “This is something that I PERSONALLY cannot stand. There are religious people in our club. Every 日 they come to this club and have to put with “Oh my god” and “What the Hell”, または “God Dammit”, along with “Damn you” most of us have to restrain a lot of negative feelings. We don’t appreciate hearing people lightly use words that we are very serious about. One could argue that saying “Damn” would be an exception, and あなた can argue that if you’d like, but at the very least we all should be respectful enough not to use the word “God” in vain as a cuss-word.”
This suggestion applies to chat, roleplays, and anything else text-related. I understand that some use Cuss-words as a way to express emotional tension in their character’s personalities, または to 表示する traits and fables and such. My suggestion to those is to simply replace the words with something else if あなた have to at all. Regardless of that however it does not apply when concerning religious cussing, または the others listed above. Those would not be allowed regardless. If あなた want to talk like that あなた may do so in your own area, but it does no harm not to cuss, but it can do harm when あなた do cuss.

~Common respect: Always 表示する respect to one another. If あなた are in a disagreement あなた may debate, that’s fine, healthy even. But as soon as hostility rises up, または if blame/name-calling is put on to the table, it needs to either stop または be moved elsewhere.
This also applies to those who wish to reveal something about another person. Before あなた decide to post something against someone I suggest that あなた tell one of the users longest running here about it. If あなた feel that it was one of us who has done the deed, または that あなた cannot trust us, then talk to a different person about it for approval. If someone has done something against the club then it is best to keep the peace as best we can. That means that we need to allow the person あなた have something against to privately speak about it first before jumping to conclusions.
NOTE: However, in the end if it is something that greatly affects the group, または is a matter of abuse against a user, the information is free to be revealed. Anyone who does not want people to see their skeletons has every right not to 表示する them, but people should know that no one around them is perfect. The other reason to reveal such evidence in an event like this is that of proof to those that may doubt または call names to someone for what happened.
Also, public attacks will not be tolerated. It is the very last resort that someone should be reported, and their account removed, which is why we must do everything we can to end the attacks if done, convince the person to stop, and then if we need to レポート them. If offensive content is shared then reporting it is your duty as a member of the club, but those who post it should always be allowed to defend themselves. However to those that feel upset that progress may be lost, such as in roleplays and such, if あなた post something offensive in the club, publicly, then that means there’s a chance someone may find it who shouldn’t see または read something like that, so unfortunately if offensive enough such posts will be reported on the spot. Please remember to keep courteous about what あなた post.

~Self-Control: Most know that I quite enjoy being random-happy-fun-times, but constantly bouncing out spasms of energy all over the club can greatly irritate people, and alienate them as well. Joking about, even 芝居 completely insane, is perfectly fine, but only when anyone who is involved with the content あなた are doing in that in, approves of it.
FOR EXAMPLE: If あなた post a picture または a post, and start up a ランダム laughy-taffy adventure in it, あなた should make sure examine how the people react who also コメント on it. あなた should ask if they are okay with being crazy. To those who did NOT post the content however, remember that this was not yours and regardless of what あなた may want the post is someone else’s and they are allowed to do what they like as long as it does not violate the main rules.
This suggestion also stretches to that of the Chains. Now Sara, myself, and a few others came up with an idea for a Chain-Club already, so あなた don’t have to worry about that, but posting dozens of ランダム comments, または repeatedly going berserk in roelplay comments, those things are not allowed. Self-control is a constant must around some people. When both people are perfectly fine with crazy, do whatever you’d like, but if one is not alright with the situation, please be courteous.

~Involvement: Our club has a HUGE problem and that is the fact that almost NO ONE gets involved with ANYTHING larger than a small roleplay. We almost NEVER get 回答 to contests anymore, group-stories are non-existent, フォーラム die quickly, and stories are rarely read. There is a simple solution to this.
>If あなた are asked to read a story, take time to at least read the first few parts. If あなた aren’t interested then あなた don’t have to continue but we should always give something a chance.
>If あなた want someone to read your story then take time out of your 日 to read one you’ve seen.
>If あなた see a contest being held, go through your schedule and think of if あなた can enter. If あなた see three または もっと見る entries then あなた don’t have to try it, but we should NEVER see a 質問 that says “Help Wanted” for any other reason than no one being online.
>If あなた agree to be part of a フォーラ Roleplay, always try to stick with it. If あなた can’t continue do NOT vanish from it, but at the same time don’t say you’re going to leave right off the bat. Talk to the members, mainly the creator of the forum, and talk it over until there is an agreement. In the end あなた can always leave when あなた want, but at least give warnings first.
>Feedback: Whenever あなた are part of a forum, a roleplay, see a picture, hear music, watch a video, read a story, etc. make sure that あなた at least say SOMETHING about it, whether you’re talking about a suggestion, a compliment, または just asking about it, to 表示する that あなた at least remember what it was about. Something was cool in it? Tell the person. They won’t know unless あなた tell them, and always do your best to be supportive and make them happy. If あなた think it’s terrible, then suggest a way to make it better, but mention strengths in it as well.
In the end I think this will always just be a suggestion, but it’s quite rude when someone puts together a huge even, taking a lot of time out of their life, and a lot of planning to do it, only to have almost no one, または no one, enter into it, (Most recently being the drawing contest, and the Godless World story ideas によって Grace).


~Understand the レポート system. I will go over what the buttons are for.
>Inappropriate: Something that is offensive, vulgar, または insulting によって any means.
>Spam: Something unrelated または repeated; something unneeded.
>Broken: Not-working correctly, half-loaded, glitched
>Outdated: Expired, no longer usable または reference-able (I will note that this rarely happens on the club, but this does apply to contests, story/game-suggestions, etc. that never happened and will note return. These just confuse new users)
These are there for a REASON. They are there because if something fits that criteria then they are allowed to be reported. Before someone says “Someone can just say that something like a spoon is offensive” most of us are mature enough to tell the difference and not play that card, but either way あなた can always tell what is offensive based on the club rules. If something is in contrast to them then it is inappropriate.
Do NOT be afraid to use these if あなた have to, but only do when あなた have to. These are not your enemy. A lot of users get very upset when something of theirs is removed, but most of the time it’s removed because it was against the club, and facebook, rules. These people sometimes go after those who reported them. While people should always discuss problems first, if あなた feel that あなた need to レポート something, あなた should do so and not choke. No matter how upset someone may get it will need to be done and the longer あなた wait is the longer that it is there, breaking the rules, and/or offending someone.




THOSE ARE MY SUGGESTIONS BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT あなた GUYS THINK AND WHAT RULES あなた WANT TO ADD YOURSELVES. POST THEM IN THE コメント BUT PLEASE TRY TO BE BRIEF. THIS WAY WE CAN IDENTIFY WHAT IT IS あなた WANT TO BE A RULE AND THEN WHEN PROMPTED WE CAN GO OVER THE SPECIFICS SO THAT IT ISN’T TOO COMPLICATED TO UNDERSTAND.


Thank あなた for reading.
