Hey all, if you didn't already know, we have a thriving community chat using Discord, which you can easily join here: https://discord.gg/0Z5KXe8U3zyF19yW
If you are already in the chat or are interested in joining, I want to lay down some ground rules and guidelines to help clarify what the chat server and its specific channels are for.
General Guidelines
- The chat is intended as a secondary social platform after the forums. It's for random discussion that doesn't need to be referenced ever again, or for discussions that require real-time back-and-forth. If you have something important to share or want to have a discussion that people can refer to later, please use the forums! The same goes for sharing important artistic or other inspiration and for posting artwork where you don't need immediate feedback and want to be able to refer back to the feedback you receive. We still want the forums to be the primary place for social interaction wherever possible and sensible.
- Just like in the forums, we will not stand for any harassment, harmful language, bullying, or other actions that would hurt our members. Be polite and considerate! If you see another member behaving in a hurtful way, please alert us using staff @ entervoid.com. You can also use the "block" feature in Discord by tapping or right-clicking on a user's name and selecting the "Block" option.
- As per Discord's Terms of Service, you are not allowed to "post, upload, transmit or otherwise disseminate information that is obscene, indecent, vulgar, pornographic, sexual or otherwise objectionable." For VOID, this most importantly means no NSFW artwork will be allowed in the chat (this includes any kind of nudity). If you would like to share NSFW art, please post it here in the forums (and don't forget to add "NSFW" to your forum topic!). If you MUST share NSFW or other "objectionable" art in the chat, you may link to an external site with a warning, but don't post the image itself in the chat. If you have any doubts whether your art is NSFW or not, just post a link to it. Better safe than sorry!
- For everything but the #general channel, do your best to stay on topic. If you find yourself off on a tangent that might divert attention away from the main purpose of the channel, feel free to move your discussion to #general or continue any one-on-one discussions via direct messaging.
Violation of these rules may result in either temporary or permanent bans, so be on your best behavior! We'll warn you before taking action, but if you ignore our warnings you will be subject to disciplinary action as appropriate.
Thanks for helping us maintain a positive, focused art community by following the rules and guidelines for both the site and its chat server! We have an amazing artist family here, and we hope to continue to grow and invite new members to a place where they can feel at home, so keep up the good work and GO MAKE ART! <3
