rule 0: the primary goal of this site is to be a place to share art, artist resources, expertise + experience, etc. in a kind of chill + relaxed environment for all present; to that end, moderation for anything that doesn't directly fall within the text of the following rules but runs contrary to the primary goal is at the discretion of the admin and moderator(s).
rule 1: racism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, ableism, and any other bigotry not directly mentioned will be met with either a warning or a permanent ban depending on the nature and severity of the offense. if necessary, judgment about nature and severity can and will be formed via discussion by the admin and/or moderator(s) with the offended party/parties, and things such as off-site harassment by the offending user(s) will be factored in.
rule 2: don't be an annoying asshole. while there are more eloquent ways of putting that, users who are reported for doing the internet equivalent of "i'm not touching you"/"quit hitting yourself"-type behavior will be banned.
rule 3: as a courtesy, don't re-post or link to anything posted here by another user unless you have their express permission.
rule 4: wipe your feet at the door. what this means is, unless it's relevant to this site and current conversation(s) on it, please try to leave off-site discourse outside if possible.

rule 99: rules may be added or changed as necessary.
