:bangbang: PSA - UNSPOKEN RULES :bangbang:

BOO :bangbang: :smirk_cat:

Hello! I know you're all probably tired of me making broadcasts by now but sos, there's a couple more to come within the next couple of weeks.

Today, I'm bringing you our unspoken rules, as well as a couple which need reiterating, or reminding of.

Please bear in mind, it is not just me who makes these rules. We have a dedicated team of staff who I have consulted on with these rules, in order to update them as we see fit from the previous of staff who made them.

Without further ado, let's get started with the unspoken but still enforced rules!

Unspoken Rules ;;

Now, I know people would tell us to simply put these in the guidelines, however, they aren't as strict as official guidelines, or we would talk to the about it and try to explain better before, unless things spiral out of control.

Music / videos / music /gaming in VCs -

We understand that most people want to sit in vcs playing games while talking to their friends, or watch videos in the backgrounds.

The live stream mode is perfectly acceptable if you want to watch a movie or music video with people in calls so long as it is within and follows both ours and Team Amino's guidelines. However when in a normal vc, we try to enforce that people keep from anything mentioned in the subheading because it can be distracting from things going on in the audience (main chat), and we can't moderate the songs or movie choices, which could be severely inappropriate or have any content in it.

Urban legends -

This area has caused a lot of discussions over the years, and has remained a grey area within not just our community, but the CreepyPasta fanbase as a whole.

Because they do take up a large chunk of lore within the fandom, we do allow Urban legends, such as Wendigos and Skin Walkers, to be used within roleplays, profiles, or topics of discussion.

HOWEVER ;;

(See how it's a big however? Very important)

If using an Urban legend for roleplay or profiles, they MUST be appropriate, without any cultural appropriation. We ask that people do efficient research into the topic if they are going to be using it.

When it comes to discussing it, the same has to he said. It MUST be respectful to the cultures. Recently, several people have called these parts of culture 'hot', or have played smash or with them, which is offensive, and key examples of what NOT to do.

For this rule, we have consulted Native , friends and staff who have informed us more about the topic, and agreed that it'd be difficult to remove it from the community, and that if it is to be allowed, it must be done respectfully.

Complete ignorance or disregard for this rule could be taken as cultural appropriation, if the is purposely making inappropriate jokes or roleplays out of them.

Reminders of current rules ;;

Inappropriate jokes -

Now, it's pretty common to make Inappropriate or sexual jokes to people or your friends, or send memes and stickers with inuendos, but we don'tallow it. We get a lot of 'they're my friend' or 'it's just a joke' from people who get caught out. We know this, but at the end of the day it's still an app for children.

The acronym -

We here use CRP/CRPA as our community AND fandom acronyms, because stands for child porn, which we do not condone at ALL.

Shipping characters -

Shipping characters is a big part of all fandoms, and fanbases etc etc, however, a key thing to is that shipping children is NOT allowed.

No matter if you're doing it through art, roleplay, personal headcanons etc, they are still CHILDREN, below the legal age of 18.

Child shipping in any of these forms is not allowed at all, not just in this fandom, but any. We will take action if we see it or are made aware through reports about it.

There are people who have argued about how the legal age of consent in their countries is 16, and while this is true, they are still a MINOR. The age of adulthood is 18, and we abide by that here as well. To like such ships, make the art etc, would be art form of , or pedophilia in some cases.

For more information, and a reminder of which characters are children, please see this PSA by the former Agent, Raven ;;
