Rules

The rules are as follows, but note that they are subject to change:

General

We're here to share free knowledge. To keep it like that, we don't charge you for what we do, neither do we accept you charging others for any services.

Our group is NOT a free advertising platform. If you got something you think might fit our group's goal, please write us a note and we may give you permission to advertise it.

Normally we write blogs if we want to hire somebody for our team. If you want to be part of the Artistle-Team and we're not actively hiring, please send us a note and we will see if we've got a spot for you.

Please do not post any mature content. We want the learning experience to be available for everyone.

Submissions

The following is a list of our open gallery folders and a short description as to what to upload in them:

Featured > For works featured in our group journals.

Art Challenges > For works submitted to the Artistle Art Challenge series.

Contests > For works submitted as entries for group contests. They are transferred to subfolders once the contest is over.

Lessons > For tutorials and lessons. Please feel free to submit to the relevant subfolder. If you're unsure, submit to this main folder, and an admin will transfer them to the relevant subfolder for you.

TeamWork > For tutorials and work created by participants for the TeamWork Project.

Artistle Related > For badges and stamps created to support the group and its projects.

Chat

Be polite to others.

Our chatroom is English only. We're there to learn from each other and the easiest way to make sure everyone gets the chance to learn, we agreed on the language the majority of us speak: English.

If you are a member of our group you will be promoted to the "Member" category in our chat. Please don't beg to be promoted to any other category if you are not a member of our team.

Sharing your art in form of so called thumbs to get constructive critique is encouraged, but everything considered as Spam by our moderators is of course not allowed.

The following categories are used in our chatroom. Those describe the status that users have within the group and the chatroom.

• Founders: Founder & Co-founders of Artistle
• Team: Members of our team (including chat moderators)
• Ex-Team: Former team members of the group
  
• Members: Members of Artistle
• Factotum: for chat bots only
• Guests: Deviants who are just visiting the chatroom and are not members of the group
• Muted: Temporarily muted deviants who were muted, because they repeatedly didn't follow the rules as stated above.
• Banned: Temporarily (and in most cases permanently) banned deviants who were banned, because they repeatedly did not follow the rules as stated above.
