Feral Awakening Rules

Cursing
Cursing is fine to an extent. Words like damn, hell, and shit are okay as long as they are not used toward other users. The f word and other curses are not allowed. Using curse words consistently is also not allowed.

Linking Inappropriate Content
Linking inappropriate content, such as songs with cuss words that we do not allow or worse, is like you performing the action yourself. Make sure your links are clean before you post!

Harassing Other Users.
Harassing others users in any way (bullying, provoking, invading their space when asked to stop, sexual harassment, etc.) will not be tolerated and will leave you with a strict warning. This applies to Role-Play rooms as well. Excessive bullying, even if RP, is unacceptable.

Suicide/Death Threats and False Deaths
Suicide and death are very serious matters and talk of them will be treated with warnings and eventually a ban. Threatening another user with death WILL result in a ban that could be permanent based on the severity of the threat. Lying about dying or lying about someone else dying to get attention will result in a ban as well. (EX: "My mother just died. ):" and "I haven't been around because I'm dying from cancer.") This applies to Role-Play rooms as well.

Discussing Beliefs
Discussion of beliefs, such as religion or abortion, etc., is highly discouraged as it could lead to feuds between users. You may discuss these things, but in a kind manner.

Discussing Bans
Discussing bans on any site, whether or not it is Chatlands, is prohibited as it can start heated arguments and lead to the bashing/degrading of the site being discussed.

Begging to be an Admin
Begging to become an admin is harassment and will lessen your chances of becoming an admin in the future. If you want to be promoted, do not beg and remain active around the chat. Wait for the applications to open and fill it out to your best ability.

Harassing the ART
Bothering the ART about poses, rooms, or objects you've uploaded that have not yet been accepted is not acceptable.

Bashing Other Websites
It's rude and degrades the site you're talking about. We don't want to see this on Feral Awakening, so if you have something bad to say about another website, either keep it to a PM or yourself.

Forum Signature Sizes
Every image that you put into your sniff causes more information to be downloaded by a person's computer, which could cause Internet problems and lag/loading pages slowly. In order to keep this at a minimum, we ask you don't fill your sniff with a ton of pictures or super large ones.

Sniff Content
Links in sniffs that cause pop-up windows will be removed from your sniff and you will be given a warning. Other rules such as our profanity rules also apply to sniffs.

Multiple Logins
To keep FA's chat tidy, we require only one account per user to be active on the chat at one time, though you are allowed to own more than one account. This allows for more users to come into the chat.

Spamming
Spamming the chat lags some users and gets very annoying very fast. Please, do not spam. If you do, you'll get a warning and if you continue to spam you will be kicked from the room. This also includes moving around the chat too much.

Caps
Refrain from using caps too often. Seeing them consistently can get annoying.

Copyrights
It's respectful to give recognition to the artist that made the art you use. Please keep copyrights.

Art Theft
Art theft will result in bans. Do not upload poses that you do not own or put art you do not own in your sniff, forum avatar, or signature.
