Etiquette Policy
DiagramArt is an expansive, worldwide ecosystem of professionals who create works (diagrams and sketches) spanning every subject and every level of talent and skill.
As the guiding force of this large and vibrant marketplace we have two primary and often conflicting goals in the service we provide for you, the members of the community; the first being to ensure that members are free to express themselves within reason with as few restrictions as possible while nurturing an environment of creativity, learning, and talent and the second is to protect the members of the community, to the best of our abilities, from infringement of copyright, discrimination, harassment, and prejudice.
All authors (sellers) of the DiagramArt community are expected to be familiar with these rules of etiquette and they will be enforced evenly and without bias in every situation which is brought to the attention of the administration regardless of the membership status of the user in question.
Quality of Digital Content
While we do not impose quality standards we do ask that you practice self-moderation in what you choose to submit and that you submit your works into the most appropriate category and use appropriate tags for quick and accurate search.
Respect Your Fellow Authors
As a vibrant and growing professional community DiagramArt welcomes all kinds of original content; but we MUST insist that the content which you submit be your own original works.
Your digital content must be your own original creations and you may only use resources which are considered legitimate and legal. Submissions which make use of works without proper permission or licensing by the original author will be removed as they come to the attention of the staff.
If you have reason to believe that a DiagramArt submission violates this policy you should use the official Copyright Violation link which is available on “Contact Us” webpage.
Mature Content
When we discuss mature content we are specifically referring to digital content which contain images, subject matter, or other themes which some viewers may find offensive, distasteful, or otherwise undesirable to view or to read.
DiagramArt strictly prohibits the submission of materials classified as pornographic or obscene. There is no exception to this prohibition.
Certain content may be deemed obscene by the administration and as such the staff reserves the right to remove such content immediately upon discovery. The administration reserves the sole right to review and classify questionable material as obscene or not obscene.
Exploits, Vulnerabilities, and Site Abuse
The DiagramArt staff will not tolerate attempts to exploit or disrupt the layout, navigability, or general use of the site. Such actions disrupt the ability of the community to access and review artwork and are considered Site Abuse.
We will issue no warnings for violations of this nature. Violators will be banned immediately upon the discovery of the disruption or abuse.
Changes in Etiquette Policy
As new situations come to our attention we may find it necessary to alter or expand upon the policies stated here with little or no notification and any such changes may be enforced in full against previously existing submissions or behavior.
Alterations of policy may be announced through either the DiagramArt Blog or through other Announcements.
