Graphics Class Rules and Guidelines ..::IMPORTANT::..

You will find all rules and guidelines concerning Student Works here. Reading these rules are vital for one to conduct and operate within student works properly without breaking the general or section rules assigned here. We wish for everyone to read and adapt these guidelines and rules so we can enjoy a more pleasant forum without further commotion. Note that breaking these rules will result in consequences varying from minor warns to permanent bans depending on the severity of the violation.

How-to-rate

Unsuitable rates are posts that usually contain absolutely no constructive criticism and instead are either denouncing the art or mocking the user itself. Criticism is allowed but it needs to be constructive. Examples of non constructive criticism:

• Quoting another user without posting any new content yourself. This means that empty quotes are not allowed and will result in a warning.

• Expressing your feelings toward the art with immature means like: "" or "fail"

• Quoting someone and simply posting "agreed" is not allowed. Note that this rule currently applies only on the Ninja Works and Art Schools domain.

• Rating topics are for the art itself, so criticizing the creator of the art is prohibited.

• Sarcasm can be interpreted as non constructive criticism as well. This means that so called "false rates" are not allowed. More about false rates below.

• Posting "ripped" or any sort of variation of it on someone's topic is not allowed. If someone is actually ripping, contact a moderator via private message as soon as possible. Posting "ripped" will just cause a chain reaction of similar posts.

• Simply posting "needs more work", "terrible", "horrible" and/or anything similar is not allowed. When giving out criticism, should it be constructive.


False rates are rates where a user gives another user a rating that wouldn't, by any means, fit the artwork's quality. Whether it's a rate "praising" or "denouncing" the artwork with ill intents, the post will be a warnable offense. Art is about opinions; however, certain boundaries still exists even with opinions. Rates can be ambiguous but always remember to rate seriously or at least positively.

Clone rates & CnC's are posts where a user literally spams the same rate and/or CnC to multiple different rating topics. For example, a user goes and rates everything as 2/10 or 10/10 topic by topic just to boost his/her post count for the sake of others and their work.
