Just a Friendly Little Reminder

I just wanted to remind you of some often overlooked rules.

You can not put Fan Fiction in Fan Art. You may do like was done with the Royal Court Follies and have a Story Thread in Fan Fiction and a graphics thread in Fan Art.

Fan Art is intended to display your screen shots and other graphics related to LDW based topics. You are limited in the amount of text you can include with your graphics.

You also are limited in the amount of graphics you can place in a single post. The recommendation is no more than 4 graphics total or 2 large graphics per post in Fan Art. You can make followup posts as replies to the original and put more graphics in each of them.

Lately, we've noticed a disturbing trend in Fan Art. We've had to remove several of your pics! It seems a shame, that you work so hard to create these, but forget to follow the rules.

The same general rules that apply to word posts also apply to graphic posts. It is NOT ok to post pics that show villagers "passing gas," or other bodily functions.

It is also not ok to show villagers jumping from high places. It's ok to show them on roof tops etc, so long as you aren't depicting them jumping in a way where they could/would be hurt.

Remember these are "E" rated forums, and the pics must reflect that. Here's a little piece of advice I give the Fan Fiction Authors: "Can I show this to my Preacher; Teacher; Parents & a 6 year old child without being embarrassed?" If the answer is "No" to any of these, then you shouldn't be posting your pic.

Whats wrong with showing villagers jumping?
