- 11 -

No piracy encouragement, no links to pirated content, etc. This includes releasing content from behind paywalls such as Patreon.
 

- 12 -

Absolutely NO sharing screenshots from private sections of the site. By this we mean anything not publicly accessible, such as submissions, forums, clubs, and profiles.

 

- 13 -

No venting or discussing discourse or drama on xCreativeClashx.net; no exceptions. If you'd like to discuss discourse and drama, consider joining our Discord, where we have a dedicated channel for these topics!

 

- 14 -

No sales of any kind are to be organised on xCreativeClashx.net; no exceptions. This includes commissions. This is because securing a host for CC has been difficult, and managing sales or related disputes is not in our remit.

 

- 15 -

We do not allow users to share, promote, link to, or request assistance with AI generators or AI generated content on this forum. This includes but is not limited to ChatGPT, Dall-E, NAI, Charai, Pokefusion etc.

 

- 16 -

News and articles regarding IRL politics are not permitted in this forum. This includes topics involving political institutions, lawmaking, policing, government bodies/officials, court cases, religious abuse, genocide/homicide/murder, hatecrimes, and terrorism. Discussions of fictional politics are allowed.

 

- 17 -

Do not post content with identifiable information of real people, including photos containing faces, emails, etc. If you’re sharing screenshots of personal texts or interactions, all identifiable information (including names and/or photos) must be fully blocked out.

 

- 18 -

You must respect other users across CC spaces. This is not a space to have discussions on whether or not someone's identity or issue or 'valid' or 'real'. This can include, but is not limited to:

• Do not use terms such as 'OCD', 'psycho', 'narcissist', 'schizo', or other terms related to mental health disparagingly as these are potentially ableist remarks
• Do not have discussions on if someone should be allowed to reproduce (in other words: eugenics)
• Do not deny how someone says they identify, including any & all queer or LGBT+ identities and issues, race, and/or mental illness or neurodivergency
• Be mindful of how you discuss things you don't like (including fandoms, kinks, characters, etc). Don't kinkshame, and don't be a jerk; if someone is talking about how they like a thing, it's inappropriate to tell them you think it's gross/inappropriate/unattractive/etc unprompted

 

- 19 -

You are only allowed one account per body. (Please see our FAQ on this rule for further information relating to people identifying as Systems)

 

- 20 -

Do not post, link to, discuss, or share content which contains or directly alludes to any sort of sexual content involving underage characters, hereby defined as any characters that are, or are visibly intended to be, physically under 18 years of age. This also includes content intended to showcase fetish(es), and nudity with genitals visible or sexualised nudity.

 

We strive to allow artistic freedom in all mediums as we are able to within the extent of the law; unfortunately, such content poses an existential risk to CreativeClash.

 

• Do not post creative works (such as art or writing) that depicts character(s) that are clearly underage engaging in, or stating to engage in, sexual acts or situations.
• As art contains multitudes of different styles and characteristics, this will necessitate moderation on a case-by-case basis regarding some illustrations and/or character designs. We do not make judgements solely on the basis of art style alone, and we do not remove images or characters simply for being depicted in a “cute” or “chibi” art style.
• Aging-up characters that are portrayed as underage in canon is allowed, as by definition this makes the character an adult.

 

All content is subject to moderation, and removal if absolutely necessary. See >here< for further clarification on this rule.

Three Strike System

We operate on a Three Strike system for moderation. You can receive a strike if you break our rules or as a result of inappropriate actions on our site.

You can receive two strikes, then on the third strike you are banned from the event.
We may issue a warning to caution you of certain actions instead of a full strike.
When issuing a warning or a strike, you will receive notification on your account.
You are welcome to appeal to Staff regarding a warning or strike, or ask for clarity on our actions.

Some actions will result in an instant ban from CC spaces. This is a non-exhaustive list of criteria that can result in an instant ban:

• You are found to agree with the theft of creative works to program AI-generation
• You are found to be harmfully homophobic, racist, transphobic, etc, or be associated with a hate group.
• You are found to be, support, or knowingly share spaces with people who are pro-contact or neutral contact in regards to paraphilic disorders
• You are found to share non-public CC information outside of CC spaces. This includes sharing screenshots, or copy-pasting text.

In the event you are banned, you will be barred access from the website and emailed notification of your ban.

Being banned from the website may also result in a ban on our Discord server.

Content Warnings

For the comfort and safety of other participants we ask that you add content warning tags (as applicable) to your characters and posts. A sample list of what content we would like people to tag for is below.

What we mean by 'tagging your posts' is literally tagging them as per our post-tagging system (you can find out how to do that here), as well as including them in the body of your post somewhere appropriate, such as with a profile or character. Tags for content must also be placed directly before any links that contain content worthy of warning if linking to external sites.

Everyone is welcome to post whatever content they like, and likewise can list what content they do and do not consent to receiving.

Please respect other participants and do not create content for them they have explicitly stated they do NOT want to receive. We encourage communication so please ask your 'victim' if you aren't sure what content they would like, or simply don't create it unless explicitly listed.

Please at least warn for the following content:

• Dead Dove content such as underage, incest, bestiality, non-con, gore, vore, etc
• Triggering content such as self harm, eating disorders, drug use, etc
• Hateful content such as hate group imagery, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.

This list is not exhaustive and Mods may as you to add additional content warnings if we feel it is necessary.

When in doubt, it's best to add tags for anything you think of. It will always be better to list warnings you're unsure about than leave them out.
