ROLEPLAYS
All roleplays must have a plot, characters and a purpose.
Our goal is to create an engaging chat centre for people to actively enjoy and to avoid conflict that comes from loose ended roleplays.
SCREENING ROOMS
Screening rooms are to play content that is on topic or relevant to the community at all times.
❹ REGARDING PROFILES ❹
TOPIC
Profiles DO NOT have to be on topic to the Amino. You are more than welcome to theme your profile after anything you would like, or have no theme at all!
The only restricted theme is suicidal or depressive profiles. You are free to express yourself through your profile, but the creation of profiles that are designed only to communicate depressive or suicidal themes will be hidden for the safety of others and their wellbeing.
You may also change your profile to express that you have exited the Amino or gone on hiatus, but please refrain from using dark or aggressive imagery or language when doing so.
CONTENT
All images and language used in your profile must follow the same standards as other material on this Amino. This means strictly no sexual, intensely violent/gorey (specifically real-life gore) or offensive images.
Even if the images used are cropped, they will still be considered inappropriate and the account hidden or banned.
Below is a list of things that will be considered sexual.
Genatalia, exposed or enlarged breasts, pornographic imagery, nudity, bodily fluids, ahegao/hentai, etc.
Profiles are expected to use fairly mild and non-aggressive, non-offensive.
IDENTITY
You are welcome to roleplay as real-life role models or celebrities with your profile, however you must specify that you are roleplaying. Any user claiming the identity of a well-known individual will be contacted by a moderator and asked for proof of identity.
Any impostors will be banned immediately as this is identity theft and will not be tolerated.
ART
You may use images that don’t belong to you for your profile (without credit), but may not claim the images as yours.
Be aware that many users from the Amino itself prefer others not to use their artworks. We advise you to ask for permission before doing so.
If an original artist contacts you asking you to not use an image in your profile, you will be expected to respect their property and remove it.
CONCLUSION
Thank you for reading the Guidelines!
We aim for this version of our Guidelines to be quick and fairly easy to read and find the basic rules of our Amino.
The Guide to the Guidelines goes into depth about why each rule is in place and the purpose it has in keeping our Amino safe and healthy.
Again, our moderators are more than happy to talk to you about our Guidelines! Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions or uncertainties about what has been said, if something is unclear or not covered, and especially, please tell us if you have any feedback and believe a rule should be changed! We value your voice, and will be sure to consider your thoughts when we revise the Guidelines next.
