Rules and Regulation for this thread :

1. Artistic nudity Vs. Pornography, ratings and a violence note.

Artistic nudity is allowed under certain conditions. Always note that there is a difference between "artistic nudity" and "pornography".

Artistic nudity is basically a picture that idolizes the body, perhaps in a drawing of a pregnant Pokemon. This can be showing beauty in artistic form.

Pornography is showing off of private areas rather mindlessly that doesn't have much artistic value and aims rather to, er, arouse someone rather than give them eye candy. Generally these are also questionably positioned a well

Also, the "direct link your images" rule in artistic nudity is a MUST. The reason for this is if someone accidentally clicks on your link and right there in their face is a picture of nudity, which would be especially bad if they were underage and of course some people may feel offended.

A small warning to say it contains such artwork would also be advisable for this and anything that goes along the realms of violence, just in case. If you are unsure if your artwork would be acceptable for view, just pm a mod and we’ll clear it for you soon as possible.


For violence, I do not mean Pokemon battles or people whacking each other, this is more into the realms of maim, blood and generally that direction. The maximum rating for the fanart area is Pg-13, if you are at all concerned please pm a mod and ask.


2. General SPPf rules still apply.

However, double posting is permitted only for updating your fan art thread with new work twenty-four hours after your previous post. You can always edit your last post before then. :2ne1:


3. Try to stay on-topic.

Self-explanatory. Try not to ask someone "how they made a picture" or if the topic has digressed, don't keep it going by adding on. Get back on topic because we don't want to have to do a mass deletion of stupid posts. If somebody has gone off topic, report it, do NOT reply.


4. Mod-whoring/Mini modding is looked down upon.

That's right, you heard me. Let the mods do their job and you do yours. We know that your heart is in the right place when you tell someone "you spammed!" or "your picture is illegal!", but posting in that manner is, believe it or not, considered spam. Contacting a mod to take care of the problem is the best option you have.

Use the "Report Post" button if you think there is something wrong with it, or if trouble begins to brew and there's no mods around to assist you. If you want a quick fix, you can even swing by the chat and ask for one of the active Mods, S Mods or Admins to help.

5. Use your common sense.

If a post or situation is questionable and not listed here in the rules, think about it for a moment. If you don't know whether to post something, think: "does it contribute to the artist?" "is it beneficial to the forum?" and other sorts of questions. See things from both sides, and from others' perspectives.

If you think people will react with hostility towards your post or you are unsure if your post is spam, it most likely is/will be. If you're still DYING to post though you're unsure of it and are afraid of breaking a rule, contact a mod about it and see if it needs corrections.
