~!!Draw the Avatar Around You!!~ THEME: N/A!!!

[Prescription Joker]

(If you break a rule, and we "catch you" and WARN you about said rule, don't go and throw a fit or a pity party, just say thanks for the catch, and GO EDIT YOUR POST.)

1. Do NOT BEG or ASK TO BE DRAWN!
2. Do NOT ask to be drawn, in any form.
3. Do not spam! That includes random posts with JUST emotes.
4. Do not pm artists asking for art unless you're going to offer alot of GOLD.
5. Do not harass artists about promised art, we'll give when we're done.
6. PLEASE sit in here and chat, and get to know us, even if you CAN'T draw, you don't have to be part of this thread, but don't ask for art, just come in and hang out. Eventually someone is bound to draw you.
7. LISTEN to the mods Prescription Joker and Invisible Chii
8. RESPECT the regulars.
9. Don't complain about your art, it was FREE enjoy it!
10. If we choose to draw you, and not something with or on you, leave it be, we draw what we want, it's free art, be thankful!
11. We're not doing commissions unless you're going to pay OUT THE BUTT! (and the artists says they'll draw for gold, again don't ask or beg, or pm)
12. Saying thank you is extremely nice and welcome!
13. NO CHAT SHORTHAND! Do not post in shorthand, type out your words PLEASE!
14. No one is obligated to draw anyone, ever. >>; Even if you post all the damn time and no one draws you (which would be shocking) that doesn't mean it's owed to you.
15. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DRAW TO BE PART OF THE THREAD! It's just really looked well upon to draw first, it's... bribes us artists to draw you, if you draw us, but it's in no way a guarantee!
16. We will not PM your art to you, you have to come back and get it. DO NOT REQUEST art to PM-ed to you. IF we want to, we will, but do not EVER ASK.
17. We will NOT draw your dream avie, we DO NOT draw OC's, we do not draw them instead of your avatar, we draw your AVATAR. DO NOT REQUEST THIS.
18. 3 quote maximum when chatting guys, please.
19. NO ADVERTISING! that means no links to shops, no links to quest, nothing, if you wanna trade links, stick it in PM's. (in your sig is fine.)
20. NO BUMPING! of any kind! We don't need the bumps... this also falls under NO SPAM, which means emote ONLY posts. We don't freaking need it. (only time we'll pass on that, is if you're emoting as a reply to someone and YOU'VE QUOTED THEM! I DO NOT want to see posts where it's only an emote.
21. (does this really need to be here!?) NO ART THEFT!
22. Anytime! that it is mentioned that someone shall be rewarded for being the first on be it a page, first to a certain number of things, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE SPAM TO THAT POSITION! Do not count down, this is considered SPAM! (if you're having a conversation you can add at the bottom "1" and so on, but do NOT make your sole post a count to "win" wink
23. DO NOT QUOTE PICTURES! either edit it out or break the quote.
24. IF WE SAY DON'T DO IT, DON'T DO IT. If we say drop it, you drop it. DO NOT harass us through PM's. PERIOD.
25If you're not going to FOLLOW the rules, don't bother coming in, period.
For signatures: (if you could save to your own server that'd be super.)

1. The longer you stick around, the more likely we'll draw you!
2. Sit awhile, chat with us, talk with us, and we'll eventually draw you.
3. Quickest way to NOT get drawn? ask to be.
4. Quickest way TO get drawn? Chat with us and be friendly. ^^
5. Stick around for more then just art, we're a pretty fun group! You'll make friends I promise!
6. You DON'T HAVE TO DRAW, or even be able to draw to get art here, just hang out and chill with us and someone will most likely draw you.
7. You can HAVE a dream avatar, but do not under ANY circumstance, post it in a post asking us to draw that instead of your avatar. It can be in your sig, that's fine, we'll see it and we can CHOOSE to draw if we want, but do not ASK or POST asking us.
