Hello brawlers! Rena here, and I have a new set of rules for you! Now keep calm and carry on, because I promise they aren't as painful as you might assume. I know a new set of rules after years of the group's inactivity are a bit sudden, but don't worry. We will be trying to keep things as simple and as fair as possible for everyone, and the best possible way to try and maintain that fairness is to provide a detailed list of guidelines that everyone is required to abide by. There are no exceptions or any special treatment.

We will be adding to this list if we feel additions are necessary.

Please read the rules thoroughly and be sure to follow them. If you have any questions whatsoever about any of the rules listed below, please contact the mods by noting the group and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!


Joining:pencil:

:pointr: Please fill out the OCB character application, which can be found >here<! Be sure to fill out all of the listed fields on the app and the profile skeleton provided in the artist comment section below. This is required in order to join the group. We like seeing the OCs that will be featured in our group, and learning about them is always fun! <3

:pointr: The picture on the app must be your own artwork! We do not accept applications that make use of bases or tracing. If any of our members spot any we might miss due to us simply not being familiar with the original artwork, or the base used to catch on ourselves, please note the group about it and we will address the matter ourselves.

:pointr: After you have finished the app, filled out the profile skeleton in the artist comment, and posted it in your gallery, please proceed to click the join request button and link us to the application in the join request's text box. If you do not link us to your finished application, then I'm afraid we will have to reject your join request. We don't want to have to turn down anyone for such a simple rule, so please link your OC's application upon joining.

:pointr: Once everything checks out and you are accepted, please submit your application to the “Active Brawlers” folder. Please select the correct folder! It can get a little confusing if deviations end up in the wrong folders lol.

:pointr: Please be very patient with both mods. We both have jobs and responsibilities outside of DA. We also become involved in other fandoms from time to time. So if it seems as if we are taking a while to get back to your join or submission request, please don't comment on the front page about it. You can simply note the group if you have concerns- one of us will get back to you eventually. Just make sure that the contents of your note do not contain rude remarks or any other kind of inappropriate behavior. If it does, there's a good chance we will not respond and deny your join request or give you a warning if you are already a current member. Those kind of behaviors will not be acceptable here.

:pointr: Actions that can decrease your chances of being accepted include:

:bulletblack: Requesting to join in the group's front page comments

:bulletblack: Rude, or just plain verbally abusive behavior towards mods and other members of the group.

:bulletblack: Sending a join request without an application link.
(We're understanding if it is accidental upon the first request, but if you do this intentionally it won't look so good on you.)

:bulletblack: Extensive history, or even a recent history of tracing or blatant plagiarism. (We are not a bunch of thieves here, and we mods do not encourage tracing or intentional plagiarism. Please read the guidelines in the “Submissions” section for more information on this topic. <3)

:pointr: By joining, you have agreed to following the list of rules we have laid out for the group. Please follow them!


Basic Rules:pencil:

:pointr: Be respectful. We don't want fighting of any kind. Anyone found lashing out at someone within the group will be warned, but if it continues we mods will not hesitate to kick the rude individuals. Now we're not saying we won't hear out both sides of the story if anything were to happen, but please try to be nice to each other.

:pointr: If your submission is rejected or removed and you'd like an explanation, please note the group and we will respond. Chances are, if it is rejected or removed, then you have broken one of the submission rules listed down below. Please keep them in mind. We will also note you if any rules are broken as well, so that you will be aware. : )

:pointr: Please do not advertise on our page. If you want to affiliate with our group, then that's all fine and good; however, please don't go spamming our front page with advertisements. Please note the group if you want to affiliate. Thank you. : )


Submissions:pencil:

:pointr: The base submission limit is 2 per month, per user. We want to stay more focused on showcasing acutal artwork in this group. While is does take some artistic skill to turn a base into a picture, you still can't call it 100% yours. We know all of our members are great artists, and we want you all to know that too. We encourage you to draw and share your creations with us. Let's spread a new outlook on art in this community! We do not judge talent or skill level here.

:pointr: Dollmaker pictures are not allowed in the group gallery at all. DA already has rules against dollmaker pictures in user galleries, and we certainly aren't here to encourage breaking those rules. Dollmakers cannot be claimed as an individual's artwork, unless that individual so happened to create the actual dollmaker game itself. But how often is that really the case? Not very often... Do not submit your dollmaker pictures to our gallery. Keep them in your scraps folder where they belong, in accordance to DA's dollmaker rules.

:pointr: Tracing will not be tolerated – period. We're lenient on screenshots, since many people like to make screenshot edits, but if you are tracing over characters in the screenshot then it will be counted as a base submission. And, we DO request you to link the originals. If you are merely adding to a screenshot, then we have no problems with that. However if you are tracing someone's art, then it will be rejected and removed. We do not condone tracing over other people's hard work, it's just not cool man... : ( And if any of our members suspect any tracing we mods do not catch right away, please note the group. Do not confront the offender, we will address the matter. If you have any proof of the suspected tracing whatsoever, then please provide that for us.

:pointr: Plagiarism is looked down upon- pure and simple. Now we are not saying that there isn't such a thing as coincidence. Inspiration can come from just about anywhere, and a lot of artists are inspired by the same things- even each other. So if two OCs have some coincidental similarities, that's all fine and dandy. Because if both creators didn't intentionally take from the other, then there's nothing to be guilty about, right? When I say “plagiarism” I mean directly copying someone else's design ideas or story ideas for their OCs intentionally. There is a difference between inspiration and blatantly copying someone, and it can be real obvious when you're just copying someone. You can't just take someone else's design, change just one or a few things about it, and call it yours. Even if no legal action can be taken out against you for doing it, it is still wrong and immoral within the artist community- and quite frankly, it doesn't make you look very creative or trustworthy. Just be very careful where you get your inspiration from and how much you take from it. Coincidences are ok, because lets face it, they do happen- but intended copying is not.

:pointr: Please give credit! If you are using bases or anime screenshots in your submissions, please link back to the original images/bases. (Even bases you may find outside of DA) If you do not link credit, it will be removed/rejected. If you merely forgot, we will let it go, but the submission cannot enter the group a second time until you have edited in the proper credit into the artist comment of the picture. This also applies to image stocks, or background images found on Deviantart AND other websites. Link us to the original image and where it is found, not just to a google search. If it is a free use resource, PLEASE follow the creator's rules regarding the image. This is merely a courtesy to the maker, and it's good to be respectful – yes? : )
