If you see another user harassing or breaking a rule please note the group or a mod.
If you spot an inconsistency or loophole in the rules or guidelines, please tell us!
3. Code of Conduct
Be kind and considerate to other users.
Depending on the severity of the offense, we will hand out warnings or bans for the following conduct inside or outside the group:
Warnings & bans: We don’t want to punish anyone for accidental or unintentional rulebreaking- we believe in fair judgement and can understand when a mistake has been made, but will take action with evidence of purposeful intent. Depending on the severity of the misconduct and judged by the mod team, any of the above behavior may result in a warning, or a temporary or permanent ban. Multiple warnings will lead to a ban. Intentional character trade & resale scamming in or outside of the group may result in a group/species ban.
4. NSFW & content restrictions
Only pg-13 content is allowed in the group. We may ask you to censor or remove content if we feel it breaks the pg-13 rating. General violence is allowed as long as it isn't any of the below. Light blood must be censored with a mature content filter. We don't want deeply disturbing or upsetting content - please contact a mod before making your piece if you are unsure about your idea.

6. Guidelines for Following Prompts
A user can receive multiple warnings for minor offenses before a ban is considered, but bans can be enacted immediately for major offenses. So that users are informed, we will do our best to communicate with any and all users who have broken rules or may be at risk of doing so. We do not wish to bans users for honest accidents, misunderstandings or mistakes.
Grounds for warning: Breaking group rules, A user's inability to pay for pouflon sales they are claiming or bidding on, attempting to claim group currency on art that has already had currency claimed on it, art theft (posting art that you didn't make and claiming you made it)
Grounds for immediate bans: Chargebacks (paypal or otherwise) multiple cancelled bids across auctions & sales, scamming users, intentional character theft

5. About Badges
Restrictions
- You cannot transfer badges to another user or account. (username changes are fine as long as the deviantart account itself is the same)
- You can't claim badges on someone else's behalf or for someone else’s work (unless there is a prompt or event exception) Badges can only be exchanged by the account that earned them.
6. Guidelines for Following Prompts
- Medium: You can work in any visual medium, digital or traditional, as long as it fits the prompt and requirements. If your medium or method is unusual, please ask a mod if it will be accepted before you start. Some prompts are more open, while others have more specific requirements.
Mods will decide if the skills used in your method are similar enough to the ones needed for in the prompt. ie: the scene calls for a colored and shaded full scene, but you want to sculpt it out of plasticine in flat shapes instead of drawing it- this would be accepted, but a photograph of a sculpted model posed in your garden as the bg may not be accepted. - Writing: Writing is allowed in the pouflon group & prompts will list out writing requirements.
- New/Old Art: Unless otherwise specified, the art you submit for prompts must be new art made just for the prompt and can't contain recycled drawing.
A user can receive multiple warnings for minor offenses before a ban is considered, but bans can be enacted immediately for major offenses. So that users are informed, we will do our best to communicate with any and all users who have broken rules or may be at risk of doing so. We do not wish to bans users for honest accidents, misunderstandings or mistakes.
Grounds for warning: Breaking group rules, A user's inability to pay for pouflon sales they are claiming or bidding on, attempting to claim group currency on art that has already had currency claimed on it, art theft (posting art that you didn't make and claiming you made it)
Grounds for immediate bans: Chargebacks (paypal or otherwise) multiple cancelled bids across auctions & sales, scamming users, intentional character theft
- A user that has been blacklisted from pouflons is allowed to keep their existing pouflons but cannot acquire new pouflons by any means, be it buying, gifting, trading, etc.
- The blacklisted user is still able to resell and trade their pouflons, MYO slots, and inventory items that were obtained through cash.
- After mods have communicated with the blacklisted user, they will have their account balance reduced to 0.
- Final Sales and trades of Pouflons by banned users will be observed by Moderators.
- Revocation & seizing - These are actions only used by the group in extreme cases such as those involving theft or scamming. Pouflons possessed by blacklisted users before they were banned will only be revoked if the banned user obtained them by scamming or theft. Revoked pouflons will be rehomed at the discretion of mods, we will often transfer the seized pouflon to the previous owner or the victim of scamming or theft.
- Any pouflons obtained by a banned user at any time after they have been notified of their ban will have their trade or sale reversed by request of the group, and in extreme cases where that is not possible, the pouflon may be revoked from the banned user without compensation. Do not attempt to acquire a pouflon if you have been banned.
