1. Please be considerate to other pixelers that have posted.
- While Constructive Critism is encouraged, Flaming is definitely not. We expect that you'll give helpful advice in a manner that will both encourage the poster to do better, and help to point out errors.
- In addition to this I'd also like to ask that you don't sugar coat your comments either. Keep it to strict critique, and express what you really find wrong with the doll. The pixeler can't be expected to get better if you're saying that there are no errors. If you think the skirt should be fluffier tell them it'll benefit their finished product.
-Another note is that if you post a doll here you had better be ready for harsh critiquing. Both Plus and Moogle are members of the PPP guild, Moogle is a member of the Art Fags guild and a former Vampiric Daisy and so they are harsh critiquers. Please do NOT take it personally they are helping you whether you believe it or not and they have only the best interest for you as a doller. Meaning you need to be able to handle critiquing. If you can't then don't post your dolls. Simple as that.
2. Frankendolling is absolutely forbidden.
- Frankendolling in essence is taking pieces from other people's finished dolls and merging them together and calling it your own. Personal works should be at minimum 50% your own. Half is base, half is the actual outfit, hair, etc. (Collaborations are excluded from the 50% rule since obviously varying amounts of work are done by each person).
3. Always provide base credit.
- Basically 'forgetting' to add on base credit is stealing. If you know that you usually forget where you got your base from then type the website beneath the doll in paint. It's not difficult and that way you know you won't forget. (I have to do this myself sometimes). We'll remind you if there is none provided, we'd like a chance to use the base ourselves if we like it.
4. Don't argue with the Captains, or Crew.
- Myself and Playboy Moogle are the captains of this guild. It's co-owned, and she's got equal authority to myself. We may in the future consider adding crew members on, but only if we find it extremely neccessary. If you ask to be on the crew, you're automatically put at the bottom of the picking pile. Any complaints about crew members should be sent straight to myself or playboy moogle, please don't post them in the guild.
5. Follow the Gaia TOS.
- Possibly the most important thing to remember. Keep dolls to the pg-13 standard of gaia, please don't post any erotic art. Artistic nudity is allowed. Any member who breaks a TOS rule will automatically be banned, without a warning given and be reported to a Gaia Online moderator.
The following rules come directly from Didal's Sticky in the PP.
6. If you have several pieces that you would like feedback on, keep them in one topic.
- Making a new topic for every piece that you are posting clutters up the forum and is not fair to other posters, because it needlessly knocks their topics off the front page. Displaying all the artwork that you want critiqued in one thread will be more convenient for you too - all the comments that you will receive will be in one place and you won't have to switch between threads.
7. If you see a post that violates the rules, don't jump on the person who made it.
- It is alright to let a user know that what they have posted is unacceptable and that they should delete it, along with reporting the post in question. However, if someone else has already done so, again, just move on. Please do not respond to trolling, abuse or flaming - at best, you're making yet another post for the moderators to remove, and at worst, you risk starting a flame war. Report the problem and go find some bigger and better posts to respond to.
8. Arrogance in this guild will not be tolerated.
- The two of us put up with enough s**t in real life and with a few of our friends. We don't want to come in and see arrogance in our guild. It goes along the lines of common courtesy. You're no better than the next person and the only ones high up on the scale are The Plus and Playboy Moogle and that is only because we own the guild and as a member we expect you to follow our rules"
