GRAPHICS FORUM RULES

What follows are the official rules for the Graphics Forum. Please either copy/paste this topic or keep a link to it so that you can post it for anyone who might not be aware. These are not for debate at this time but if you have any urgent questions you are welcome to mail me.

1. STEALING

A stolen graphic pertains only to those stolen from Marapets members. A graphic stolen from a site outside of Marapets should be reported to that site. We will only be dealing with member to member theft. Please remember ideas cannot be stolen.

If someone has stolen your graphic then send in a support ticket. If there is someone regularly stealing and/or repeatedly buying graphics to sell on please mail me and I will deal with it.

PUNISHMENT FOR STEALING
1. Minimum-graphic removed, fine and profits removed
2. Minimum-graphic removed, larger fine and profits removed, forum ban over a few hours
3. Minimum-graphic removed and profits removed, one day underaged
4. Minimum-graphic removed and profits removed, 1 week underaged
5. Minimum-graphic removed and profits removed, underaged indefinitely

2. KEEPING YOUR WORK SAFE

We need evidence before we can stop graphics theft. Times and dates are important. Please use one of the following to protect your work:

* Watermark it
* Upload it to another site and send the link to yourself in mail at the end of sale
* Mail yourself daily with a list of who you have sold to and describe the graphic

There will be NO paid protection teams of any sort from this point onwards to chase after stealers or to defend you if you are being harassed. Report to staff instead as that's what we are here for. The report button is there for a reason.

3. RATING/CRITICISM OF OTHERS WORK

If someone is asking for a rating and/or critiques:

Please be polite when offering opinons on others' work. There are people behind these monitors! Whenever possible, try to offer something positive as well. People are more likely to pay attention to someone who makes them feel like they have a chance. A good example is something along the lines of "Good eff

There is a place called AF
and it is a scary place indeed
so before you ever venture there
take this warning and heed

Because all of those in there
are mentally unstable
one likes to kill Unicorns
and another believes he is a table

So here I am and will tell you a bit
about each of these creepers
so don't every say
Miss Shy isn't a keeper

Indygo had a fetish for worms
Middy liked the fish
but Ian liked all monkeys
and ate them on a dish

Chi needs to take some meds
and Mary hates your eyes
and wee Steph was english
and drank tea with her pies

Katie is a murderer,
she likes to stab the bread
and celebrates when the jam squirts out
signaling it is dead

Brandie likes Zebras,
especially when they are dead
and SB loved a Bunny
next month they shall be wed

Nat liked to burn her own skin,
Maurlady liked to live without sin
which really is much weirder
when surrounded by the likes of Gin

Wolfy was a silly one,
but madder than the rest,
even when poor Shy
tried to do her best

MrsRena has a husband
who is also her Dad
if you go by mara names
but no one ever had

QueenKa is actually a Knight
and X laughs at slapped kitties
and MissLeigh had
that were not itty bitties

Gennie is a wild card
no one knows what she may do
but certainly she wont watch
when Jimilee takes a poo

Heather is a strawberry
what do you make of that?
and why does miss Bratty
think she is a cat?

There is more my friends,
and I will warn you in time,
but sit back and enjoy
Miss Shy's warning rhyme

Ones added throughout the thread:

Lex makes a good point
but the truth still remains
Lex isn't the sharpest spork
in the dish drain

mymysweetiepie is another creeper
I do not know their name which is sad
but judging by the hat with ears
I really should be glad

Bobncat thinks she is a smurf
but we all know it isn't true
she just held her breath too long
and now she is permanently blue

Ari likes to take pictures
of herself in the nude
Victoria is a weird one
but don't tell her as that is rude
