These rules apply to all channels, statuses, avatars, profile banners, and profile bios. This also includes content that is linked from an outside source. Though we cannot moderate what you post on other sites, we can moderate whether or not you are allowed to direct others to those sites via the server.
Treat all other users and staff with respect. If you have nothing nice to say, then don't comment. We do not tolerate any teasing, bullying, insults, or harassment. If you have problems with another user you can block them here on
Discord and Chicken Smoothie.
Our server rules mirror those of the official website. We are required to follow the same rules in order to affiliate with Chicken Smoothie.
We do not allow:⬝
"Vaguing", or talking about a specific user or trade negatively without saying who.
⬝
Guilt-tripping or begging behavior in trades or for art, characters, positions in roleplays, or other similar perks or associations. You may not try to force or pressure someone into accepting your offer or giving you something, even if it’s not for free. You may not intentionally make someone feel bad about their choices or actions, such as how much they are selling something for.
⬝
Ranting or heavy venting If you need support please reach out to resources such as family, friends, counselors, or mental health professionals or visit the
Comfort Corner thread.
⬝
Threats or messages promoting violence directed toward any real person or entity, including public figures, even if intended in a comedic way.
⬝
Discrimination or hateful comments based on any protected class or identity, including but not limited to age, race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
⬝
"Trolling", such as posting to shock others, derail conversations, directly oppose others, or bait users to click any link.
⬝
Spamming and disrupting the flow of the chat, especially through the use of excessive emojis, mini-modding behavior. To better understand what constitutes spam please review
this guide.
⬝
DNI Lists Users may not list DNIs on their statuses, profile bios, nor may they link to other sites that contain DNI lists.
⬝
“Anti-” statements Statements may break this rule even if they do not include the prefix “anti-” if they are intended to be negative. Please express your interests in a positive manner.
⬝
Debates about real-world topics such as political affiliation, and stance on divisive political issues. Your own gender identity, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation and broad statements supporting human rights (such as stating Black lives matter) are exempt from this. Please be aware that some statements (such as All Lives Matter) are inherently anti-human rights and will be moderated accordingly. Depictions of the Confederate flag are not allowed.
Do not use offensive language.⬝ Your profile bio, status, avatar, and profile banner should be free of all offensive language and "curse" words in links, images, and text.
⬝ Offensive words cannot be abbreviated, misspelled, or censored (partially or fully with symbols such as *&#!), as the offensive intent is still clear. Attempts to circumvent word filters will result in disciplinary action.
⬝ We allow a few specific minor curse words to be used in forum posts as long as they are not directed at other people. These are: ass, damn, crap, and hell.
⬝ Words classified as slurs are not acceptable even if directed toward yourself. This language will be handled on a case-by-case basis as usage is always changing and evolving.
⬝ You may not link to songs, articles, or websites where offensive language is displayed or spoken.
Keep all of your posts, discussion, links, and images child-friendly! We do not allow gory, gross, or overly violent/bloody content.⬝ "Candy gore” where the only difference between your image and real gore is that the blood color has been changed or that a creature with skin/fur has had their exposed organs/entrails turned into candy is not acceptable.
⬝ A few scratches or bruises and minimal blood are acceptable. There should not be pools of blood in a scene. Blood coming from the eyes or other orifices may be more heavily moderated.
⬝ If a limb or head is severed (including for reference purposes) there should not be detailed muscle shown or blood coming from the area.
⬝ Urine, excrement, and/or vomit should not be depicted in artwork or images.
⬝ Real-life images of injury or death of humans or animals are not allowed.
⬞
Mentions of or content related to self-harm, suicide, and abuse are not acceptable, especially when relating to real people. Characters in drawings may have scars that could be interpreted as pertaining to self-harm, but this may not be confirmed in any way.
⬞
Overly frightening images or writing should not be posted (example: content based on creepypasta). Some content may be “disturbing” without displaying any overt rule-breaking and is subject to removal at the discretion of staff.
⬞
We do not allow discussion or artistic representation of illegal or semi-legal drugs or drug paraphernalia (including marijuana), alcohol abuse/alcoholism, or underage use of nicotine cigarettes/vapes or alcohol.
⬞
We do not allow users to request medical advice for themselves, other people, or their pets/animals due to the danger of receiving such advice from unqualified people and children on the Internet, and concern with discussion of sensitive topics.
⬞ Innocent images and content from media that contains elements that are not child-friendly are acceptable as long as the media is mainstream and widely known (example: Game of Thrones). Content from lesser-known media may be moderated more heavily. Content from media where adult content is the main/sole focus is not allowed.
⬞

Romantic encounters should be between consenting individuals that are fully clothed and must be limited to hugging or chaste kissing on the cheeks, lips, or hands.
⬞
Images that display nude breasts, butt, or genitals are not allowed. We allow reference images and simple cartoon art styles (example: Donald Duck) that display these areas only if they meet the following criteria: 1) the character is covered in fur/hair that obscures the details of their anatomy, 2) the only detail is simple outlines to show the shape of the body, 3) the character is in a modest pose and setting, and 4) there is no flesh-toned shading in the genital area. Characters (even in reference images or without nipples) with smooth-skinned breasts or butts must be covered by clothing.
⬞ Photos or drawings of people or characters with skimpy/see-through clothing, in suggestive poses, focusing on the breasts/butt/crotch, or with clothes slipping down/off are not allowed.
