New rules + Final update on low-effort and trend posts!

Okay, starting with the important thing first: All of the rules have been (slightly) revised, and new rules have been added! Some of them we were already kind of enforcing anyways, so it’s not too drastic of a change. Please take the time to review all the rules! I don’t wanna hear any “but I didn’t know that was a rule!” if ya get in trouble for something, this is your opportunity to avoid that by familiarizing yourself with the new rules!

Now onto the poll results and how we’ll be handling low-effort/trend content from now on!

I know, we’re all tired of hearing about the low-effort stuff, but hopefully this is the last announcement we’ll have to make about it. Now, after reviewing the poll, everybody seemed pretty keen on keeping most of the trend posts! People also gave some suggestions to further balance things out, so there are some exceptions here:

1: The OP of the trend posts has to be ACTUALLY interacting with people! We’re talking more than just replying with one word/emoji/number, etc. Like at least reply with a sentence at minimum (or an image of the thing you’re doing) And don’t leave a bunch of people hanging, if you can’t reply to everyone then lock the post (view the pinned post on how to lock your comments)

2: No more trend posts where you’re asking people to do something for you. Such as “Make (free) art of my avatar” or “Make lore for my avatar” or “what would you (insert thing) with my avatar”, that type of stuff. If you are not at least reciprocating, then it’s low-effort!

3: THE IMAGE MUST BE MADE BY YOU! No more just copying and pasting a chart you found online. You guys know the ones I’m talking about. Either edit it to change things up a bit or make your own. And as I mentioned the other day- no image unrelated posts! The image has to be related to either avatars or whatever the thing it is you’re doing! I was pretty lenient on not enforcing this rule but from now on, we’re taking the post down if the image isn’t related.

This is what the people wanted, so this is how we’ll be handling these types of posts from now and. So as long as you aren’t doing the stuff I mentioned above, your post should be completely fine. And please don’t report trend posts as low-effort unless they fall under the specific criteria I mentioned!

Phew, that was a lot. I’m gonna go play forsaken now
