Group Rules and Guidelines - Update

We are a group open to all kinds of members and fans of Dragonball but, to make sure that a certain level of respect is maintained, some rules and guidelines have to be followed.

General Rules:</u>


- Respect all members, administrators and regular visitors of the group. No one likes to be offended and here is no different. If you want to be respected, don't forget to respect those around you.

- No bashing of the fandom or its characters. Criticism is fine (We do accept the use of sarcasm, irony, or comedy]. We all have our less favourite characters and series, but saying it or showing it through an artwork or fanfiction in a offending way [e.g: "I don't like Character X because she's a b**ch" or "Dragonball X is a piece of sh*t"] is not acceptable.

- No bashing of Akira Toriyama. Please, respect the genius that is the creator of the Dragonball series. _{No more explanations are needed, if you really are a fan of the Dragonball series.}

- This is a Dragonball group, so no discussion of other media [mangas, animes, music, movies, fanart, videos] related to anything else that doesn't involve the Dragonball fandom directly. But discussion of other media when compared to Dragonball fandom is allowed and encouraged.
   
^{The violation of these rules will be punish either with a warning, a suspension of member privileges (e.g:. no blog or deviation submission for a certain amount of time),  and possible banishment of the member, depending on how serious the fault committed is. Any case of violation will be discussed among admin and the member who committed the violation will have the chance to defend him/herself before any measure is taken. However, ignorance (as in claiming not being aware of the rules) is not an acceptable excuse.}


Guidelines for Deviations Submission :

- The feature section of the gallery is open for any member BUT we strongly recommend you to submit them into the sub-folders if you think it's fitting into the subject (e.g.: if you have a stamp, put it in the "stamps" folder, if you have a fanfic put it in the "fanfiction" folder, and so on.

- The limits of how many deviations can be submitted to the group are:

Members can submit 1 deviations per day;
Contributors can submit 3 deviations per day;
Co-founders can submit 3 deviatins per day.

_{This limits can and probably will change over time, when and if necessary.}

The of kind of deviations we accept:</b>


- Linearts (for the "Coloring Book" gallery folder _{which automatically means that you allow other people to color them});

- Fanart related to the Dragonball fandom
- Animations [No animations using clips from the anime, exception for stamps and some avatars ]
- Memes
- Fanfictions
- Cosplay photos
- Web design and Desktop Customization (banners, signatures, avatars, wallpapers,etc)
- Fancharacters _{(Note that a fancharacter is a character fully created by you, but within an existing fandom while an OC is a character created by you but it has no relation with any specific fandom)}
- Crossover fanarts
- Essays (in the form of literature, but with previous consent by at least one of the admin, send a note  for that).
- Manga Colorations  


Themes Allowed and Mature Content Policy:</b>

Mild mature content (blood, violence, sexual themes, nudity, language,etc) is allowed as long as the deviation is properly tagged with the "Mature Content Warning";

BUT we don't accept explicit mature content. If it's a sexual theme or nudity, the image has to be partly censored (meaning  both female and male genitalia have to be covered somehow). This isn't a hentai club. If you do have more kinky deviations, please direct them to one of our affiliates, and/or

He accept Het, Yaoi, Yuri, Furry, Cross dressing, Gender blending  and Mpreg material, as long as it respects our mature content policy, described above in this section.

_{Important note: We all know that not everything is "black & white", regarding these rules. There are some "grey areas" that may lead to ambiguous situations that even us, the admins, might have some difficulty in processing but we will do our best to do a fair judgement.}
