This is the official A & M Art Fight rulebook, which is applicable to all of our accounts, including the server and this website, and members within our space. Please note that we are working with volunteer moderators and may enforce rules using their own discretion. If there are any questions or concerns, please send an email at am.artfight@gmail.com with your name and email address.
As a member of our space, you are subject to our rules at all times and your actions can impact fellow members. The administrators of this community value respect and kindness above all else and expect you to do the same. There are specific rules for the server and the event as well as general rules applicable at all times.
Common sense rules, such as “no trolling or discourse baiting” and “no harassment,” are implied and enforced based on the discretion of the moderator team.
Our moderator team works on a three-strike system. The first and second strikes are given with a warning. The third strike is an immediate ban from the event. We do not tolerate intentional rule breaking within our space.
