~RULES/GUIDELINES~
(These rules are subject to change should the need arise.)

1.) To participate, you must have an approved application submitted to the staff of the D.C.U. You can do so privately to the founder, and or by posting it with in this thread.
2.) All designs are to be of your own making and original pieces of work. As design theft is not permitted by any means. If you suspect design thievery, please do report it to a member of staff.
3.) All requirements of any given challenge must be met! If your submissions is found to be lacking, and you are ask to make changes, please do so accordingly before deadline. Also be sure to keep everything to one post unless otherwise stated. Especially if you are submitting multiple designs.
4.) If you change your name here on Sylestia, please alert staff as soon as possible.
5.) Real life can and often prevents us from participation. So we offer a way to "OPT" out of the current challenge at hand. Just make sure to make that declaration of opting out before deadline. Wither publicly or privately. (The only exception to this rule during a (RARE)mandatory challenge. During this type of challenge, participation is a must by all!!)
6.)Communication is extremely vital...If a staff member contacts you via PING in this thread, or via PM...Please be sure to respond if and when asked too. Failure to do so is just rude and inconsiderate on your part.
7.) Respect one another as members, as well as respect staff. If you have issues with someone in the group, please seek a staff member you feel comfortable with to relay your concerns. Do not hash out things over the thread and cause mass disruption, disturbance, and or grief for one and all to see. Staff are here to help you feel as comfortable as possible. We want you to enjoy this group.
8.) ABSOLUTELY NO HATE....We will not tolerate an unsafe environment for our designers. Hate of any kind is not excusable by any means. Wither it be against any one racial group/ethnicity, gender specific or orientation, religion, creed, or what have you. HATE is HATE....And if HATE is suspected, it will be dealt with accordingly. So please do not keep quiet. Make sure to report if you suspect any hate occuring. This way we can deal with it and remove it to keep the DCU safe for one and all.
