Rules related to posting stories and images.
#1 Make sure they are in the right place first. Questions about the world goes to Discussions, character references goes to Characters, comics goes to Stories. Stuff like that.
#2 Size your artwork appropriately. No need to have a 2000x2000px image of a headshot. Keep the file size down to a reasonable level as it helps make pages load easier and our life a little easier on the back end.
#3 If you have to have a large image, feel free to post a link and a small version! We understand that some of you can make super detailed images and we still want you to post them on here. So where possible you can post a small version of it that may not do your art justice and provide a link to your own art page to have a full size version.
#4 You have to own the artwork and stories that you post. We take art theft very seriously and will enforce that. Its okay to have characters that you referenced from other people in your art/stories. But if there is any copy/pasting, tracing, or elements that you did not have permission for we will issue a warning to your account and remove the image/story.
#4.5: This counts only towards artworks made for Cyden. No taking the art someone else made on the forum and using it for your own needs, EVER. But not everyone is an artist and not all of you can give us a visual of the piece itself. If you have to, you can find the images you need online on your favorite art sharing website, or even commission an artist to make your visual come to life. Just credit the artist and/or leave a link to where you got it. While also making it clear you didn't make the piece. If you cannot provide this information then it falls under art theft.
#5 Mark things [NSFW] in the title if they involve gore, blood, nudity, sex, or similar Not Safe For Work (NSFW) things. If you aren't certain, then mark it NSFW to be on the safe side. Cyden is a dark place, dark things can happen. We don't want to stop people from making relevant pieces of work. Lets just warn people first.
#6 We can take down postings if they violate the rules. I can't imagine it being necessary if you follow the rules on this page, but I thought it should be noted.
