The Sparklepack is a ProBoards community aimed towards a userbase of all ages and backgrounds. Therefore, maintaining a friendly, orderly, safe, environment is a priority to the staff. Outlined below are a series of rules listed for the purpose of such. By creating an account, you have agreed to these rules and our terms and policies. We reserve the right to ban or terminate your account if you fail to abide by these rules.
* General Guidelines -
- Be respectful and kind. Remember PLUR when interacting with other members! Do not pick on other members, start fights, insult, berate or otherwise behave unnecessarily aggressively toward another member in the forum. If there is an issue with an user in the forum, please PM staff about it.
- Be careful with flashing, excessively bright graphics. Of course, we love bright, vibrant colors here. But please make sure to hide flashing images or images that may cause extreme eyestrain behind a spoiler tag. Otherwise, go nuts!
- Maintain all content on the forum appropriate. Do not post, discuss, or provide access to NSFW or NSFL content in any capacity. This includes pornographic material, gore, excessively disturbing images, discussions of illegal paraphilias (fictional or not), and other cases we may not have accounted for in this text. Not only is it against ProBoards' Terms of Service, this forum is 13+. Disregarding this rule may cause your account to be disabled or banned as soon as we are made aware.
- Keep language appropriate. Swear words are fine, and as much as the staff supports the reclaiming of identity slurs, we would advise to keep it under control, to use spoiler tags when discussing them, and to avoid calling other users them in an attempt to 'reclaim' such words, as to comply with rule I. Excessive abusive language, outside of a context that justifies it, will be censored or deleted, and may have your account warned or otherwise penalized.
- Stay on topic. Do not derail threads, and do not post outside of the category most appropriate for a thread. If you mispost, and you don't want to delete your thread (maybe it's really long, or full of formatting you don't want to rewrite), you can ask a staff member to move your thread for you, no big deal. We get it.
* Board-Specific Guidelines -
Wild Things:
- Directly link to every find you have. A good rule of thumb is, if you don't know who made it, don't post it. The only exception for this are posts asking for help in finding credit for art that has been deleted. Artists are free to ask for their work to be taken down at any moment, and we will comply.
These terms are subject to change, and usually an announcement will be released when such changes are made.
