Rules [: ✔ 1.) The basics ♡
Follow all gaia rules when posting in this forum. If you are not familiar with the rules, a couple helpful threads can be found under these Links: Mini-shops rules, Art Discussion Rules, General Art Shop Rules, and Art Freebies Rules. If you are unfamiliar with the rules, those links should help you out, and I suggest you do read them.✔ 2). Posting ♡
When you post, I cannot stress enough that you are aware of the rules. Some basics include:-Common courtesy; when requesting art, graphics, etc, stick around and chat with the artist, dont just buy your art and go ]:-No spamming; spamming is highly discouraged in many parts of gaia {Spamming is Posts that are gibberish, off-topic, contain advertisements or begging, or have low or no content are considered spam.} spam wont be tolerated here-Flaming & trolling; Posts directed at another member which are hateful, abusive, or intentionally inflammatory are considered flaming-such content will not be tolerated✔ 3). Buying Art ♡
Under no circumstances is selling art you personally have not made permitted.✖Modifying the artwork of others is still art theft, as is copying other images. Art theft is a serious offense and can result in a permanent ban from the site as well as potential legal action from artists whose art is involved. Selling or attempting to sell stolen art is also scamming, which recieves a permanent ban with no warning.
Abide by terms of use:✖When you buy art here, it is yours to use, however that use may be limited by terms the artist dictates which you legally must abide by. If you plan to use it for something off site or as a commercial peice, discuss this with them first to clarify the rights and useage of the work. To be safe, both artists and commissioners should keep a copy of the terms for future reference.
Obtain permission to alter art:✖For example, if you receive lineart that you wish to have colored, you must obtain the permission of the artist before modifying their work.✔ 4). Artist Rights {General} ♡»If someone in Minishops samples your image without permission, is in violation of your stated terms, uses a whole image without permission, or is in violation of another agreement, you have the right to request the removal or editing of that whole image regardless of any work done by the other party. If necessary, a moderator will remove it.»Anyone claiming to be the creator should contact a moderator or the person in question. They should be prepared to prove ownership, if it is disputed. This could involve emailing the moderator from the address listed on the site the image came from, or placing a note on the site, etc. Proof doesn't have to be given to the general public in order to protect the privacy of the artist. It will be enough for the moderator to say 'I have been shown sufficient proof to believe this is the creator'.»Maliciously impersonating a creator will result in action against your account.»If you should find someone who is stealing art from you, please report them. Posting accusations, "GTFO" or "Reported" can be seen as harassment or spam.
