Cheers! As far as unacceptable content, the regular forum rules apply to the ArtMaker Forum.
(I am reprinting them here for convenient access, but recommend all new users to the boards read "Welcome/How to use these Boards").
From Chi Chi ...
---------------------------------------------
1) solicitations or planning of illegal activities, bandwidth theft (image links to sites that don't know they are serving pictures for us,) offering for sale pirated copyrighted materials, or other activities that could get the boards closed down are forbidden.
2)posts so hateful that they disturb the entire flow of conversation for an extended period of time or extremely nasty personal attacks, will be removed (this has happened twice to date.)
Though there are other kinds of speech that occasionally pop up here that I find personally repugnant (rascism, ageism, sizeism, etc.) I still defend their author's right to post it as long as it is not so extreme or prolonged as to threathen the community, or illegal. These posts are not removed.
You will find when this happens that the moderators will come in and defuse the situation, often with humor. The community will also step in and make it clear how distateful they find this. Usually, the person either retreats or tempers their words from then on. I prefer whenever possible to let the community do it.
3)Links to images that clearly could be classified as kiddie or animal porn will be immediately removed.
