Site and Group Rules
By accessing and using this website and participating in the Deviantart group and Discord, you are agreeing to uphold and follow the rules set forth on this page. The purpose of these rules is to protect users, and maintain game systems fairly, as well as create a safe and fun environment for everyone! If there is an issue with anything listed on this page please reach out immediatly.
Community Interactions
Interactions in comments, and in discord, must remain cordial and polite, taking into account tone and familiarity between members. Hostility and rudeness towards staff and other members will not be tolerated. Discussion, and heated discussion, is of course permitted as long as it is in good faith and all parties treat each other with respect.
Users are expected to follow the rules below:
- Be respectful, Kind, and courteous
- Do not engage in harassment, abuse, or other harmful behaviors towards other members
- Disagreements should be made privately, if at all, so as to not start fights publicly
Trading with other users
Trading with other users is encouraged and allowed, both within the site and within the discord server. Reignsrest will do its best to ensure smooth experiences, but it is up to the users to complete trades and protect themselves. In the event that a user does not uphold their end of the deal, reaching out to admins may help to resolve the issue peacefully, but they will be limited in what they can do. It is expected users complete all deals made in a reasonable time if goods or money is exchanging hands.
Users are expected to follow the rules below:
- All trades between two users where one user has already sent their half, MUST be fully completed
- Sales involving USD that are not completed may result in a ban if no resolution is found
Private interactions, rp, and disputes
It is not the administrators job to untangle disputes or interactions between members that are conducted in private. It is up the users to protect themselves when engaging in RP, private interactions, and other communications with other users. The exception to this is if a user is found to be harassing another, abusive, or otherwise harmful in ways that break our community rules.
Users are expected to follow the rules below:
- Respect boundaries of members, and their characters.
- Do not go against the wishes of a characters player for any reasons
- Respect the "open for gift art and gift writing" indicators on character profiles
User submitted artwork/literature
All works submitted to the galleries on Reignsrest.com must be created or collaborated on by the user submitting it in order to remain in the gallery. Commissioned works may only be submitted if the commissioned artist is not on the website, and allows reposts of their artwork and proper credit is given.
Users are expected to follow the rules below:
- Works must not depict ANY overtly sexual themes, underage characters in sexual themes, or non-consensual situations of any kind
- Depictions of violence, blood, and mild gore are allowed but must be under an appropriate content warning. Excessive violence and gore is prohibited.
- Artworks must be largely your own creations, however, the use of brushes and other resources are welcomed!
Theft of Art, Concepts, and Ideas
We take theft very seriously, and as such any accusations of theft should be brought privately to the admin team and not aired out publicly in the discord. This could range from art to character concepts, and an investigation between both parties will incur with the hope of peaceful resolution. Ill-intent is never immediately assumed.
Users are expected to follow the rules below:
- A users characters and concepts should be their own, and not taken from other members of the community
- A user may concept ideas with another user, but credit should always be appropriately given
- Collabs within the community must always be given proper credit
- Tracing, stealing artwork, or copying another user (or other artist in general) is expressly prohibited
Game Mechanics
Users are expected to uphold game mechanics as they are meant to be used. Accidental abuse due to limitations of the systems is not punishable, but intentional abuse may result in penalties, removal of items, or ban depending on severity.
Users are expected to follow the rules below:
- If a bug or glitch is found, a bug report must be submitted so it may be fixed or removed
- Bugs that benefit players cannot be abused for personal gain
- Abuse of game mechanics with knowledge those mechanics are changing in the near future may result in denial of submissions, characters, or claims.
- Intentionally trying to go around mechanics set in place due to limitations in Lorekeeper or admin limitations may result in penalties, denial of submissions, characters, or claims.
