ARTISTS RIGHTS
• CODE OF CONDUCT
This set of rules outlines the behavior expected of someone who owns a Spacepuff. Failure to adhere to these rules can result in your Spacepuff being revoked, suspensions, bans and blacklisting depending on the severity of the issue
​
• No harassment will be tolerated. This includes but is not limited to the following:
Contacting Spacepuff owners that are NOT listed on the Rehoming Hub to inquire if they are interested in selling or trading for their Spacepuff. This includes any medium of messaging (Discord, Skype, deviantArt, etc.)
​
Using the group as a public platform to drag out drama between members. This includes behavior such as badgering for one’s attention or using the Discord chatroom as a means to single out someone in the group.
​
Revealing any private information about any of the members to anyone else (be it in other private conversations or in the public Discord) without their disclosure or permission (such as names, genders, or any other details they wish to keep private). Public passive aggressiveness or “vaguing” about others is also forbidden.
​
• Rude behavior is also a big no. This includes behavior such as:
Deliberately breaking the Discord rules.
​
Consistent “trolling” and attempts to ruin any roleplays, chats, events or otherwise.
​
Offensive art and writing, be it submitted to the group or dropped in the Discord.
​
• We do not condone scamming nor theft on any level. Some examples are as follows:
Requesting customs to be exactly identical to any pre-existing Spacepuff
​
Using a single MYO Slot or Spacepuff to scam multiple people into buying it
​
Buying a MYO Slot or Spacepuff from a member and then immediately chargebacking
• In the chance of a situation arising, please be sure to follow these steps known as DDR to help remedy the situation:
​
Document the situation
​
Take as much evidence and proof as you can and organize it into a st.ash or Google Docs file. We do not accept copy-paste logs; we absolutely need unfiltered screenshots in order to assess the problem. Here is how to take a screenshot on a Windows computer, and here is how to take a screenshot on a Mac.
​
Defuse the situation
​
Before attempting to contact The Spacepuff Team, try to amend the issue with the other party first. Talk to them directly and document proof of any attempts of trying in order to help the Team in further assessing the situation.
​
Report the situation
​
If you find that there is no way you can find compromise on your own, take all of the proof you have and contact the Team by noting the Spacepuff group on dA with a brief summary of what has happened alongside either a st.ash link or Google Docs link that holds all the screenshots and details. It is important to act as soon as possible with situations such as chargebacks or scams just as it is important to report harassment as soon as you’re able to. From here, the Team will step in and intervene to the best of their abilities.
​
As stated above, The Spacepuff Team is NOT RESPONSIBLE for any Spacepuffs or items of value (such as money or art) lost in the event of a scam nor are they obligated to compensate for any loss.
