Behaviour 

  • Be respectful, and treat others the way you want to be treated. Ancient Outpost is a safe place and we ask for any and all behaviour to be respectful towards other players and staff

    gory will be censored and filtered appropriately.
  • One account per Player, please make sure your active account name and Discord name are linked to your on-site account in some way. Having multiple accounts or using
    alt accounts to ban evade is grounds for suspension or a permanent ban.
  • Please use appropriate filters on our website and server when submitting art and literature. Depictions of gore and violence is okay as long as everything is tagged and filtered
    appropriately, and thumbnails do not show the excess of it. Any sort of depictions of sexual acts is not to be submitted to the Website or our Discord Server.
  • Though we allow for cursing, do not direct any sort of cursing towards another user.
  • While depictions of fictious politics, religions and cults in art and literature is allowed, we ask that real life, heavy or controversial topics are avoided.
  • ​Harassment of any kind is not permitted, if you need to report harassment, use the ticket system on our Discord.
  • Furthermore, do not ask or harass other users for anything they own that is not offered for sale or trade, this goes for both public and private inquiries.
  • Do not participate in Mini-Modding or answer questions directed at moderators or admins. If there is an issue, please feel free to use our Discord ticket system.
  • Do not DM moderators or admins unless it is a pressing matter due to issues with other members or admins, for example when you cannot use the ticket system out of your safety.
  • We reserve the rights to remove any sort of hateful, illegal, or otherwise offensive content from our website and Discord and terminate users on the grounds of breaking this rule.
  • We also reserve the rights to outright ban users if their behavior is making others incredibly uncomfortable and do not contribute to a safe and relaxed atmosphere.

 

​Uploadable Content 

  • Ancient Outpost, its associated Website and Discord server run on a PG-16 basis. Users are not required to filter swearing and/or content with mild gore and violence. However, we
    advise to always tag your work appropriately and filter any gore or violent content that goes outside of just a few bloody scratches or blood smears.
  • You may not use other artists work and claim it as your own under any circumstances. This includes tracing, AI generated content, photography etc. Users found in violation of this
    rule will face suspensions or bans.
  • All works uploaded must be accessible to staff members to be counted for anything within the website. If a staff member can not gain access it may be voided until made visible.
  • You may not use official group resources to create your own images or works. This includes tracing the Import linearts.
  • You may not upload any official Imports to any other websites, such as deviantArt. They may however be uploaded to character storing sites such as Toyhou.se, but only if they are
    properly credited and link back to this website. 
  • It is advised you hold off of drawing your Import's design until it has been approved and uploaded on the official Imports account. Furthermore, you may not submit any activities or
    claims depicting an Import that has not yet been approved and uploaded. This is to avoid incorrect versions being depicted and art being rejected. 

 

ownership

Between you and Ancient Outpost, you will retain ownership of all original text, images, and other original content you provide to the ARPG and
website, and all intellectual property rights in your content.
Ancient Outpost is not liable for any user content submitted that is unlawful in any way.
Ownership of characters belongs to you and you alone. We do not approve of or allow split ownership, meaning every Import may only have one owner.
In the case of a ban we will not revoke the ownership of your characters from you. They will remain on-site as is, but will be frozen, meaning you cannot sell, trade or use these imports in
Ancient Outpost in any way, shape or form.
If you wish to have a character permanently removed from the site, please contact an administator.

 

BANS AND WARNINGS

Ancient Outpost works with a three strike system. The third strike is a ban from the group.
Depending on the severity of the cases and the offense, the strike system may be bypassed and a ban will be issued right away.
This includes, but isn't limited to: Illegal content, threats, severe harassment, racist, transphobic or homophobic behavior, cheating and other term breaking offenses.
A single strike may run out after 4 months if the offense was not severe enough to warrant a permanent strike. You will be notified of both temporary and permanent strikes.
Bans that are not temporary are permanent and cannot be appealed.
