Forum Area


Be relevant.
Don’t post to promote your own agenda (use blogs instead).
Be unique - search first!
Add value to the whole community.
Use forum posts to get other's opinions.
Be specific, and add details.
There are no private discussions.
Post to the proper category.


Blogs & Favorites


Blogs and favorites must be relevant to the community.

It’s best to first create a favorite and then tag your blog posts to your favorite.
For best results, post at least three photos in your blog posts and tag the relevant favorite.

Blogs should not single out users negatively or in ways that could be considered bullying.

This includes satirical content putting down or insulting another user for any reason

Unsolicited advertisements for sites (including download links) and/or scheme sites are not allowed unless cleared by a leader this includes advertising your amino without seeking approval from a leader. Failure to do so will result in your post being hidden.

This includes but I'd not limited to advertising monetary transfers of any kind. This community has a wide age range of users therefore we deem it necessary to not allow any transaction transfer of money to be advertised or discussed on VGA.


Plagiarism


Posts must be in the your own writing. Referencing or copying from other sources is acceptable, provided that the content is clearly indicated and linked to the original owner.

Copying from other sources without clear indication when asked by a Curator, or dishonesty claiming the content as your own, will result in your post being disabled.

This includes copying another user's post without their consent.


Public Chats


Posting inappropriate, sexual, or graphic content in public chats, or encouraging the posting of such content, may lead to the immediate termination of your account.

Public Chats must be relevant to the community. Generic topics such as romance or high school are not sufficient.

Public Chat conversations must be appropriate and stay within the Community Guidelines.
For best results, create a detailed description and clear rules for every Public Chat you start.
The owner of a Public Chat is responsible for the content of the chat and it’s conversation.
Role-plays that use terms to specify sexual orientation in their description e.g. “straight”, “gay”, are not allowed. These types of RPs historically lead to sexual themes that are not appropriate for this community.

Discussion of torture, mating, “forcemating”, slave, master, kidnapping, etc is not allowed.
While owners are allowed to remove other users from their chats when conflicts arise, you may not make invite-only or otherwise exclusive chats in the public chat section. Please use group chats if you wish to restrict who joins a chat.


Important Safety Tips


Protect your personal info. Keep your full name, exact address, phone numbers, online account info, and credit card information secret to avoid scams, bullying or other dangers.

Never meet up with people you only know from the Internet.

Report a user if you feel they are a danger to the community and any of it's members.

Do not engage in sexual activities, make sexual proposals or respond to them. Report any sexual activities or proposals immediately.

Please note: In order to properly comply with the App Stores, we are unable to allow nudity of any kind on the app, even if partially censored or artistic in nature.

If another user violates these guidelines, we encourage you to inform the moderator by flagging the page for review. We need your help to keep this community alive and well.
