[center]About Manga Mavericks[/center]
Manga Mavericks is a community where writers and artists can
share their manga stories and artwork, collaborate with
eachother members and most importantly help eachother works all
in the efforts to improve skills all while trying to figure out
what it means to make a manga. We are not DeviantArt or other
forums where we welcome improvement last and building a
community second. Manga Mavericks has an active goal to improve
our writing/illustrating skills and always will.
We do not push members away and welcome all even if they do not
intend to be part of the developing community. If you want to
just share your work, it may be subject to critique, advice, and
other forms of opinions. if you don't want to be part of a
community that wants to help improve, or help others improve,
you may have a difficult time settling in.
[center]Rules and Code of Conduct[/center]
Manga Mavericks expect members to be mature and capable of
handling most situations. But if there is a serious problem,
please ask a moderator for additional help. Manga Mavericks
understands that all members are human and at time imperfect.
Some members in the heat of an argument, forget the rules exist
or are too angry and say something they may regret.
Don't deviate from main topic
Please try to stay on topic of what the thread presented. Even
if you believe the member is breaking the rules, report the
problem if they have not listened the first time. If you are
accused of breaking the rules, ask a moderator to review the
issue for you before responding. Manga Mavericks understands as
discussions continue, the topic often changes as well. Do not
report if the topic has moved on to a different yet adjacent
topic.
Bashing and insults
Debates and heated discussions are bound to happen. We welcome
all forms of opinions if its all in efforts of improving our
skills. We do not welcome bashing members for their opinions or
works. Remember that feeling insulted doesn't mean that an
insult was explicitly given.
We expect all members to be capable of diffusing the bomb on
their own before moderators get involved. If one is offended or
has felt they are being bashed by a particular member, the
offended member must request the offending member through
private messaging to modify their comments in effort of
maintaining peace. This must be done BEFORE replying back in
public space. This is mandatory.
If the member refuses to review their own comment, and you've
attempted to speak with them in private message, you may ask a
moderator to review the comment. Other non-involved members can
also ask ahead of time, but should not ask for moderator unless
the situation has escalated.
No piggyback comments
If another person from another forum or site wishes to post
their opinions or reviews, you cannot post on their behalf. They
must be accountable for their own opinions and thoughts and
create their own account. A temporary block will be made on the
spot for anyone who is posting on behalf of someone in a thread.
Stalking, spreading propaganda
Please do not visit forum threads and reply in efforts to go
against any member or "build" any form of negative reputation on
any member. We are all aiming for the same goal of improving, do
not create tension in which will put it at an immediate stop.
Moderators will know when one is being sought out and kindly ask
the person to stop if it gets out of hand. We will NOT punish
the member who was sought out, but moderators will ask the
person to avoid the person and to report it again if it becomes
a problem.
Giving credit
All pieces of work that were not illustrated or written by the
one sharing, must give credit to the original artist/author who
wrote it. Especially if this is a fellow aspiring artist/author.
It is highly encouraged to give the name, the link of where it
was found, or where they can purchase the art legitimately.
It is OK if one could not find who the original artist/author
is.So long as you were able to post the link of where it was
found.
Advertisement
We generally don't want members joining strictly to advertise
their other websites. Especially if one is advertising to join
another forum. We want to grow, and expect one to at least
attempt to be part of the community when one creates an account.
If you want to make any form of advertisement of any other art
site, it is best to keep it only within your signature.
Multiple and Necro posting allowed
Since some areas of the forum may be designed for only updates
from the Creator of the Thread such as New Chapters and New
pieces of artwork, MangaMavericks allows multiple posts. However
it is advised to use the "Edit" feature if posts are within 24
or 48 hours.
All opinions about the forum allowed
Some forums may have a dictator-like behavior and will Ban
members for stating their opinion about the forum. We not only
welcome positive opinions but negative ones as well. If we want
to improve, we also want the forum to provide better care and
options for members in order to have a comfortable stay.
Sometimes the most negative opinions are fueled with passion for
wanting a better experience. MangaMavericks understands that.
So long as the goal is to help us improve, we will take anything
into consideration.
