Admin Post: Rules of Conduct

[sunlit_skycat]

Rule 0: Rules are for the community, not community for the rules
The rules here are meant as a guide for keeping the Blue Heron Tea Nook suitable for its intended purpose, and are not exhaustive. Posters are expected to act in good faith while in this community. Posters who are continually disruptive to the community will be dealt with appropriately, even if the letter of the rules are not broken. Rules will be added as necessary.

Rule 1: Acceptable content
This is a place for Pact and Pale related fic and meta. Fic and meta should be formatted correctly, with further instructions here.

• Works must involve characters from Pact, Pale, Poke, or Pate, meaning no elsewhere fic. Elsewhere fic about original characters should be posted at hillsgladehouselibrary 
• Works must be at least 300 words or longer
• Direct depictions of sex are not allowed, but sex between characters may be implied or referenced.
• Content warnings beyond the listed major set are not required
• Comments do not need content warnings for anything discussed in the original post

Rule 2: Don't be hateful
The Blue Heron Tea Nook is meant to be a welcoming community. Posters should not advocate violence or harassment against real-life groups.

• Be considerate of how your statements can be interpreted by others
• Do not use slurs to describe real people
• Do not talk about how great it would be if someone was raped, tortured, maimed, etc.

Rule 3: Be civil
Be courteous and decorous to other posters. Do not harass each other.

• When disagreeing, attack the argument, not the person
• No flaming

Rule 4: Don't steal credit
Any works posted here should be made by the poster

• No AI-generated content
