Topic: [e621 Code of Conduct] Official changes, questions and answers

New Code of Conduct Update!

Changed Rule:

Impersonating an Employee or Moderator
Suggested Suspension Length: Permanent
This category includes:

  • Passing yourself off as a current or past employee of Bad Dragon, Dragonfruit, or e621, especially to post false information
  • Passing yourself off as a current or past moderator of Bad Dragon, Dragonfruit, or e621, especially to post false information
  • Passing yourself off as another user to harass or besmirch them or their reputation

Passing yourself off as anyone else is not generally acceptable, and if it is someone who has been suspended or banned, it may lead to your account being banned

This is intended to make sure that all official information comes from admin accounts, and not someone else. This includes posting official information on a friend’s account, or even an alternate one. Make sure that if you are posting information, you do it from your administrator or moderator account. This also goes for ban-evaders, if someone tries to impersonate them, we will assume it is them trying to evade the ban. Example: Hey everyone, it’s EDFDarkAngel1 on a friend’s account. I wanted to tell you about some of the upcoming site changes…

Added Rules:

Name Changes
Suggested Suspension Length: 3 days
This category includes:

  • Common names are not reserved, if you give up a common name through a name change we will not help you get it back
    • Unique names are reserved for 14 days

Common names (like names of popular characters and common words, e.g. "Charizard") are free to be taken by someone else after a name change and we will not help you get it back. More leeway will be given for more unique names (e.g. "SamCollie313" or "TheFlattestPumpkin") in the event that someone "steals" it.

This is intended to help give users some leeway with their username. We will help if a unique name is lost for any reason, but we will not offer assistance if it happens to a very generic name.

Solicitation
Suggested Suspension Length: 7 days

This category includes:

  • Soliciting personal or otherwise confidential information of another user or users.
  • Requesting, demanding, or offering to trade real life photographs, videos, or any other form of media from another user or users
  • Requesting, demanding, or offering to trade information from another user or users

If someone asks you for your own personal photos or other personal information, do not answer them and report the comment, blip, forum post, or dmail to the staff!

This is intended to keep the pagesite safe and secure for all our users. While we are not going to discipline any users for reasonable requests, such as a what they had for breakfast, or pictures of their world famous chili recipe, we do allow users to report any incidents that appear to act against the best intentions of the site.

Please let us know what you think of those. As always, feedback on spelling is most welcome.

Edit: Fixed some typos because I'm stupid, fixed an entirely wrong sentence because I suck at pasting.
