THE CANVAS

Zero tolerance. Treat all members with respect regardless of their skill level, background, artistic medium, race, religion, gender, sexuality.

Feedback should be constructive. Critique the work, not the individual. Aim to help others improve, not to belittle or discourage. Encourage positively.

Share only your own original work unless you have explicit permission to share others' work. Credit must be given to original creators when sharing.

Respect copyright laws. Do not use others' works without permission or proper licensing.

Do not share personal information (yours or others') without consent. Be cautious about the personal stories or identifiable details you share in public forums.

Content must be labeled properly and not be pornographic or contain explicit sexual material.

Encourage active participation. Promote inclusivity by occasionally organizing events or challenges that cater to different skill levels and mediums.

Avoid spamming, including repetitive posting or unsolicited direct messages for self promotion.

Disputes should be handled privately when possible. If mediation is needed, use community moderators or admins.

Members are encouraged to invite new artists, but ensure they are aware of and agree to these rules. So they can feel ownership and can propose new ideas.
