2. When posting artwork, cite the source and name the author. If possible with links to their socials.

1. Don't be an ass. While disagreements are normal in a discussions, personal attacs and harassment are going to be removed.

last rule: Don't bring us in legal trouble.

No fur-shaming. Seems to go without saying, but there are various levels of the fandom, from those who appreciate the art, those who like the lewd stuff, those with partial costumes end/or who cosplay furry adjacent characters, to the full fursuiters — all should be welcomed.

NSFW policy. What is/is not allowed, what should go into one of the dedicated communities instead, etc...

3. AI content is not welcome. (You can still post discussions about it if the topic is something you consider important for the community.)

Description adjusted to:

General community for furry stuff, art and memes everything furry-related (discussions, texts, art, your own work, ...)!
No matter if you have one or multiple fursonas (animal-based or not), maybe even with a fursuit, or are just here to enjoy the artworks; all are welcome and respected here.

Also, would somebody be so kind and report this comment so that I can see if notifications work as expected?

Update: ok, thanks everyone.

So, I'm not necessarily going to toss out a rule suggestion, rather a dynamic that I've found that I feel is worth noting.

In rules-bound communities, spaces flourish and perform the best with next to no rules. This however induces the problem of having people who speak out in ways that're unwanted. Juxtaposed to this, spaces with overbearing rules often drive users away and create a "hush-hush" zone, where organic conversation cannot truly occur. You may've seen this often with a sort of "positive vibes only" places, where everyone seems to speak with a face of ^w^ and nothing else.

I have always had a bit of a philosophy towards this after seeing several discord servers' communities, and then having a large community of own. In a nutshell, our rules performed best when boiled down to "Be good." Not everyone has a clear definition of 'good', so we tossed out a few examples, but that's all for rules on vocalizing the self. There were more, but that's just because the server was NSFW-friendly, and only had regards to that.

Not to say this approach works everywhere, but I feel openly saying that "Good rules, but minimal rules" is a good summary in a nutshell.

• No foxes on Fridays. 30 day ban.

I think there should be a rule against gatekeeping. This could be about gatekeeping gender identity, gatekeeping being a furry, or gatekeeping the way people are allowed to make their characters. A lot of other furry communities have problems with gatekeeping and I think we should take a stand against it.

And yes I do think this should include reductive ideas like "closed species" which have no legal basis and are often enforced by empty threats and harassment.

It's fine to have rules, but in a community that is as broad as "Furry" there should be limited content restrictions. Rules should be there to enforce good behavior and good-faith discussions.
