All of Proboards Terms of Service apply, PG-13 posting, images, and behaviors! Can't remember all the rules? Brush up here. So everyone knows the TOS rules for PG-13 content, please read this thread! Abiding to the TOS rules, you must be 13 years or older to join. Once you have joined with your username in which you wish to be called by (meaning do not register with random numbers, letters, or something like "pornstar" because your account will be deleted immediately. We assume members who register like that are only wanting to spam or "troll"), you need to edit your profile. Please visit our Community Guide for information on editing your profile.[break][break]
It has been addressed by Proboards that all abusive content on a forum: posts and chat box messages, will get the forum deleted. Therefore, if you have something to address/complain about about a certain user or website, please do this via Discord (alannaburkhardt#4507). Any content seen on the forum that violates Community Guidelines considering abuse will be deleted on site, no warnings. With respect in mind, do not hassle any member on Adoxography nor put them down for their creations. If any member is seen or reported being disrespectful, they will be dealt with accordingly. While we have a discussion board, not everything is welcome. Anything that could spark disputes will be moved to the breakroom board and locked followed with a PM telling you why. We all have our own opinions about real life debates on the news and in your communities, however, here at Adoxography we respect all beliefs and opinions and wish to avoid sparking conflicts.[break][break]
PMs are very handy on this forum, however, there are restrictions. PMing any member asking for a personal request, coding assistance, or advertising is absolutely not allowed. This includes all support for resources posted on Adoxography! Unless an author requests it, post on the resource's support thread and not via PM. This is why we have a request board, a burnout board, and an promotions board.[break][break]
When using our resources, we ask that you let the author know that you are using their work; this is not only a common courtesy, but is required if asking for resource assistance. Even if your forum is not guest accessible, post on the support thread for that resource with the link to the site you are using the graphic, theme, remodel, or plugin. When using a template from Adoxography, make sure to link to the exact thread(s) in which the template is being used, even if the thread is not accessible by guests, it is still expected.[break][break]
We know our members often post their content on multiple sites, however, when posting resources on Adoxography, we request that you add credit or a link back to Adoxography or your account on Adoxography out of courtesy. While we understand you might be members of other resource forums, it is rather rude to post a resource on Adoxography and the credit links to a different resource community. That being said- we hold the right to edit your resource to add credit to Adoxography if you do not.[break][break]
When posting a pre-made theme we ask that all of the main remodels within the pre-made are your own and not another's work. This includes but is not limited to the board remodel, mini profile remodel, information center remodel, and any sort of header or home page remodel. If a pre-made theme is posted on Adoxography that breaks this rule, the thread will be locked, download link removed, a warning added to your account, and you will be notified to change your pre-made within one week or it will be moved to a locked board only accessible by the team.[break][break]
Maybe some of you haven't heard of the term "ripping" but the meaning should be obvious. Do not steal! What is considered ripping? A number of things: re-posting a resource you edited, even if dramatically, and claiming it as your own is ripping. Removing the credit of a resource is ripping. You might read in people's resource rules to "not use this as a base," what they mean is do not rip their work. Do you see something in a resource that you like and want to know how the creator did it? PM the creator and ask politely. They will most likely give you the code, link you to where they found it, or show you how. Most ripping is done because people don't ask, they just take.[break][break]
If another forum "inspires" you, that's great! However, our rules are such: We will not help you copy a look of another's work. While you cannot copyright ideas by law, this is considered stealing and overly unsound within the community of Adoxography and many, many others. If you are found asking for help to copy another's work, it will be denied and you may possibly be banned depending on the severity. While we are a community dedicated to helping each other learn and grow by also providing for others of lower skills of our own, we will not help you mimic another's work.[break][break]
In order to be considered a commission, a transaction of financial value must be exchanged- this does not include Adoxography's virtual petals. Commission values set by the creator are non-negotiable and any haggling will be considered harassment. Failure to complete an agreed transaction from either end, the commissioner or creator, will not be tolerated. While Adoxography's team will do it's best to mediate any issues, we will not compensate for another's broken agreement.[break][break]
Being a resource site, we have rules regarding registering, participating, and using our resources. All of our rules are highly important. To insure they are followed, we use the warning system here on Adoxography. All acts against the rules will earn you an increase of 10% on your warning level. Once your warning level hits 30% you will be banned for three days, 60% for two weeks, 90% for one month, and 100% forever. If you are banned forever, your account will be deleted along with all PMs & threads you started. Warning levels are only visible to team members and yourself. You will be notified via PM of an increase of your warning level with reason as to why. The point of the warning system is to encourage our members not to disobey forum rules, therefore, warning levels will not be eligible to be decreased for any reason at any time.
