1. Only one thread per member UNLESS you would like to have one dedicated to SFW art and one for NSFW

2. Please do not self-promote your own work on other peoples' topics! Either make your own or post a topic in Offer Service

3. Please please PLEASE do not offer critique or "constructive criticism" be it genuine or otherwise unless the artist asks for it first!!

4. Tag NSFW topics as "NSFW" or "18+"!!! (If the topic starts out safe for work and not safe for work content is later added, please edit the title of the topic to reflect it)

(The rules for Et Cetera are basically the same as the General Rules but for the sake of convenience I will repost them here with any addendums made in red.)


We ask for everyone to show respect toward other members, to this community, and to try their best to get along. The rules are drafted to best reflect this. Most of these rules are common sense and just ask you to show a basic level of decency. These rules apply across all of Just Be Nice and Have Fun (JBNAHF).

1. Respect your fellow members - This includes no attempts to insult, deride or provoke other members. This is a forum dedicated to good vibes, after all. Flaming and baiting are big no-nos as well as causing drama so please just keep it civil and if you take issue with any user either send them a DM or bring it to the attention of a Moderator. In any debates or discussion, respect is equally important; remember that the goal is not to be right, but to reach a better understanding of the subject and each other.

2. Follow Topic Intention - Within Reason Each section has its own set of rules and etiquette (for example some allow spam, some do not); please respect them and read the rules before you post! Don't turn a topic into something it's not unless the author states that they do not mind if the thread derails. We will keep a very casual mindset about the Et Cetera section unless this becomes a problem. If so, stricter rules will be enforced. If the opening post is random/spammy, then it should follow the topic is random/spammy. If it's casual keep your post more casual and if the opening post is detailed and serious please follow suit. The only time you can do this is if the topic's author or section-staff member says it's okay. Otherwise just make a new topic. Finally, if a topic-author asks you to follow certain rules to post in that topic (ie: it's an RPG, a debate or someone's journal for example), then do stick to them.

3. No Harassment - Harassing another member through PM, IM, or on the boards. In most cases this may be following an argument. If you feel you are being harassed and want the member to leave you alone, then PM them back requesting very explicitly for them to not contact you any further and block them if possible. If they proceed to contact you then please contact a member of staff. If the harassment in nature is violent, sexual or stalking then please contact us immediately.

4. No Bad Posting Behaviors - Including but not limited to posting more than six topics in the same section in a one hour period, (even though this is a spam section please be courteous and do not flood) speaking excessively in a non-English language (thusly making it impossible to moderate your post), posting background music or media without warning, oversized Signatures over 400 pixels tall (including all text and images), posting a mass of images in a post without a long post disclaimer and so on. Only exceptions are if a section-staff member gives you permission.


5. Work-Safe Content - While we are not PG13, please note that some people post from work-places/school and colleges and that not everyone wants to read very crude posts or images. If your post or posted image goes too far we will send you a polite reminder to tone it down or potentially remove the post depending on the severity of it which will be at the moderator's discretion. Swearing is fine, but show some taste in what you post and do not post pornography or anything that may get someone in trouble at work. If you intend to post something NSFW (not safe for work), please either spoiler tag it or post it in an 18+ tagged board.

6. Follow Complaints Procedure - If you have a complaint as to how the board is run, its rules, how they are applied, or about its staff members please post this privately to a member of our staff; do not make a topic about it. This process ensures that any issues/problems are dealt with quickly in as drama-free manner as possible. Note a complaint is not the same as giving constructive criticism or suggestions on how to improve and you are free to post that (General Discussion is the best place to make a topic) as long as it is respectfully put and does not cause drama.

2. Respect the Community - Each section has its own set of rules and etiquette (for example some allow spam, some do not); please respect them and read the rules before you post!
