✯ RULES & GUIDELINES ✯
Oh, yes! While rules are boring, they are necessary to the site's purpose. So, we'll keep them short and simple.
Be sure to read, understand and follow all rules listed.
Violation of any rule can, and most likely will, get you banned and thrown into the pit of DARKNESS! And no, it's not colorful down there.
1. Respect goes both ways. Please respect all of the artists and authors, and don't trash their work.
Keep critique creative. Don't be rude.
Also respect the staff - without them, there would be no Colorful Darkness.
2. When submitting art, stories or other media, keep it clean!
Inappropriate language and nudity is not allowed and will be removed immediately - without warning.
3. If you have a personal grudge or problem with any of the members, please take it off the site, or at least take it to PMs.
We don't want to see you arguing or fighting with anyone, about anything. There IS a difference between debating and fighting. Please keep debates clean and creative!
4. Your submissions must be your own. I imagine I'd be pretty angry if someone stole my drawing or song and claimed it as their own.
In fact, I might get all crazy-ninja and hunt them down and make them eat cat boogers. Yep, I'd be that angry.
It's all about respect, so please do not steal other people's work. It isn't that hard to make your own. Art is art, no matter the level of skill the artist has. Make your own!
5. SPAM stands for: Short Pointless Annoying Messages. So please, don't do it! Make every post meaningful and intelligent.
This means, nothing like: "omg i knoo". When conversing with anyone, try to speak eloquently!
*Also try to avoid double, triple or quadruple posting! There is a Modify button. If you've already responded, edit your first post and add onto it.
6. When critiquing any media, don't just say, "Oh that's awesome great job". That's very vague and it is considered rude. It can also be considered spamming - which can get you banned for a week.
Take some time and really give a good critique! Try to add some real insight, like: what you thought of it, how it made you feel, what you would improve, etc.
Now...if you actually read all of that, congratulations. You won't be thrown into the pit of DARKNESS!...or pelted with cheese...moldy cheese.
...yeah right. You better run >_o
