Amaranth Legacy:Rules

Amaranth Legacy has a simple and easy-to-follow set of guidelines which are expected to be followed in all of our community spaces, which include:

• our website,
• our website chat, and
• our Discord server.

Be polite

Treat others with basic respect. Avoid starting arguments and be cordial. Give constructive criticism when asked.

No inflammatory or offensive profiles

This applies to usernames, profile pictures, and user pages.

No bigotry or bigoted content

This means being discriminatory to people based on immutable characteristics (examples: gender, race, nationality, sexual orientation, age).

Content which contains in-universe bigotry but does not support it is allowed.

Use English

This is primarily an English-speaking community. Therefore, we require the use of English when communicating and in pages. We may allow languages other than English in the future, but as of right now, we ask you to use English in all instances.

No rules lawyering

This means evading or using the literal meaning of the rules to go around the intended meaning of the rules. If you do not understand a rule, please ask a Community Manager.

No vandalism

This includes, but is not limited to:

• Blanking pages (deleting all of the text)
• Deleting pages without the author's consent
• Making significant changes without the author's consent

This does not include:

• Grammar and spelling fixes
• Standardization
• Categorization

Regarding page ownership and use

One of our tenets is author autonomy. This means that we will not interfere with your work or restrict your content unless it breaks our rules. Because of this, you have total control over your content, its styling, and who you choose to collaborate with.

Your content may be edited or deleted by staff if it violates our rules. If this happens, you are not allowed to revert the changes.

In terms of your lore and how it is used, everything you write is your own. Within your own Scope, you have total control over the canon and everything therein. People cannot make unwanted changes to your story or setting, nor can they reuse your content without your permission. Staff will enforce this on our websites. If you wish for any or all of your pages to be removed at any time, staff will do that for you. Any (otherwise rule-abiding) edits by other users that aren't fixes of or for technical bugs, accessibility, standardization, spelling, grammar, or explicitly permitted collaboration will be reverted by staff. This goes for edits by staff as well.

If you wish to permanently leave our community and want continued protection over your lore, make it known that you want your content deleted. Staff will do that for you so that nobody can enter the history and steal your content. If you do not do this, it may be adopted and rewritten by other authors.

Our enforcement of these is limited outside of the community. In that case, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International applies to your content.

If you do not put your page in a Scope, your article may be adopted into a Scope at any time.

Regarding sexual and violent content

Don't publish, post, or upload any sexually explicit content, real-world violent content, or photorealistic violent content. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Visual depictions of reproductive anatomy
• Visual depictions of sexual intercourse
• In-depth written depictions of sexual intercourse
• Visual depictions of real-life injury or gore
• Visual depictions of photorealistic injury or gore

Some instances are allowed, such as:

• Anatomical descriptions of reproductive anatomy
• Non-detailed written depictions of sexual intercourse
• Written depictions of injury or gore
• Visual depictions of injury or gore in a fictional context

This is decided case by case by staff, and there is a very thin line between allowed and not allowed. The previous list is only a general overview. We reserve the right to approve or not approve your content.

No AI-generated text content

You are not allowed to post AI-generated text content, either in full or as a significant part. However, you are allowed to post:

• AI-assisted text content, such as:
  • Using AI to reword your text
  • Using AI to provide inspiration (sparsely)
  • Using AI to provide organizational assistance
• AI-generated text content with significant modifications

We hold the stance that creative literature is about human expression of ideas, and that AI is incapable of replicating it.

Regarding fanfiction and derivative works

Ask an author before creating an alternative version of their work. As for fanfiction of existing properties, we ask that it remains on the Fandom.

Avoid using other people's images

We encourage users to create their own images using whatever tools they like. In addition, many of our members are willing to create images for you.

If you are using an image from the Internet, make sure you are allowed to use said image and properly attribute the source and creator.

Regarding templates

Templates are an easy way to quickly change the look/layout of a page. Feel free to create as many templates as you need. However, for organization and standardization purposes, please refrain from creating new infoboxes.

If you feel that no infoboxes work for your needs, shoot us a message on our website chat or our Discord server and we can talk about either making a new infobox or adapting an existing infobox.
