#net rules

—General Rules—

Minors are welcome in the net, but writing 18+ fics will not be allowed for those under 18.

While joining the discord isn’t required, it’s reccommended to get any updates, project news, and announcements as quickly as possible.

Discord rules will be posted in the server

Any hate speech, discriminatory actions, bullying, or the like is not tolerated. If you are found to be overly aggressive or disrespectful, you will be warned only once, and then you will be kicked.

Solo stanning is allowed, but any hate will be met with consequences.

If you need to take a break or are leaving the net, please let us know. While fic posting isn’t mandatory, any blogs that are inactive for a long time without any warning may be removed from the members page as to avoid clutter.

You will not be kicked from the discord server for inactivity and if you ever return, we would be happy to add you back to the members page

If the admin reaches out regarding the net, please respond in a timely manner. Failure to do so may end in a warning point, and continual ignoring of any messages for over a month may end in a removal of membership. Appeal may be made through DM.

Warning points are split into two categories; major and minor.

○ Minor warning points (consistent forgetting to spoil sensitive context/sending things to the wrong channels) expire after one month, but if behavioural issues occur or no signs of stopping show, they can become major warning points.

○ Major warning points (direct disobeyance of rules, bullying, etc) do not expire. Aquiring 2 means a strike, and aquiring one more strike following that is an immediate kick. You are able to appeal through dm of me

— Writing Rules:

To have your fics reblogged, please use the tag #pirateeznet. If you do not want a fic reblogged, do not use the hashtag or tag the net.

No plagarism. Any plagarism will not be tolerated and if you are found guilty, you will be banned immediately.

Please make sure your fics list the following:

Fic pairings

Word count

Warnings

Genre and aus

Remember to credit any betas or banner makers

Any fics over 500 words should use a read more

Any fics with the following will not be reblogged

Graphic sexual assault, pedophilia and incest, animal abuse, glamorisation of any mental health or physical ailments, any material that may enourage sasaeng actions, and rape.

We reblog both sfw fics and nsfw fics. Please make sure you tag and add a read more to your fics appropriately to be reblogged. Failure to do so may end in a warning point if sent multiple reminders.

Important notice: If any rules are broken repeatedly or if you are caught lying about your age, you will be permabanned and blocked from the net. [password: maddox] You will still be able to reach the admin for an appeal.

If you have read the rules and understood them, you may apply here! If you are looking to be an affiliate, please double-check that your rules correspond with ours and apply here! Any other information about affiliates will be worked out through DM after the application is filled.

Check out the admin blogs (1)(2) (this is optional but also greatly appreciated ^.^)

Reblog the network post.

Track the tag #arohasnetwork to see network updates and member posts.

Put the #arohasnetwork tag in your posts if you’d like them to be reblogged by the network. (Remember though that the tag must be in the first 5 tags)

Link the network somewhere in your blog, it doesn’t have to be in your description, but make sure that it’s visible (we will be checking)!

Be at least 14 y/o

Tell the network via ask box if you change your URL. You’ll be removed if you don’t!

Be active and tell the network if you go on hiatus. If you’re inactive without notice, then you risk being removed from the network. You must have posted or reblogged something within the last 4 weeks.

If you post any content that isn’t yours, the network will only reblog it if you give proper credit to the source and follow that source’s rules (such as fansite rules like no editing/cropping). The network has the right to not reblog certain things that are deemed against the rules or to terminate your membership if you’re caught doing so. You’ll receive a message to remind you about this if it’s seen happening but if it happens too many times then you’ll be removed from the network. Stealing of any form is not tolerated.

Have a “read more” on text posts longer than 500 words or on any post that consists of many or long gifs (like gif reactions)

Be respectful towards other members. If there is an issue with another member, then please let one of the admins know or figure it out yourselves. This all must be done privately. If any drama erupts between members of the network publicly, you will all be removed from the network. No negotiations!

Show support for ASTRO and the members of this network! :)

Chat Rules:

Try not to spam.

Respect others and their opinions.

Speak with an admin if you have an issue with another member; we’ll do our best to come up with a solution for the situation.

Original version.

But because it's the net, we'll ALWAYS need this rule, as the folks on Xitter are proving once again already.

How long does a book, episode, or movie have to be out until we can stop tagging them for spoilers?
