Rules and Regulations

Elftown's number one rule is 'Don't be an asshole!', which means you should respect members, and try not to cause a lot of trouble. Also, you must obey things such as copyright laws, and other rules that deal with uploading art to Elftown. If you do this, then you should be fine here!

Dealing with Offenders

Unfortunately, not everyone likes to follow the rules. However, there is something you can do to help the problem. If you see someone who is breaking one of Elftown's rules, you should report them using the 'send report to guards' button in the Elfhouse. The Guards and Patrollers are constantly inspecting houses, and would appreciate your help!
Also if you are harassed by someone it might be useful to block that member.

2006-07-01 [iippo]: You can put a link to the poll in your description, yes. 

2006-07-03 [Zab]: I think he/she meant a poll, like a wikipoll, in the description..I don't know if it works or if it agrees with the rules:P

2006-07-05 [kittykittykitty]: It's not possible to put a poll in your description (I just tried :P )

2006-07-06 [Zab]: Then we have the answer on that, thanks for finding out :P

2006-07-06 [iippo]: So if something is impossible to do, then it is also impossible for it to be against the rules :P

2007-01-06 [weirdscarydyke]: Can I get into trouble for having a picture of my beloved bong on my profile?

2007-01-07 [Slavork]: as long as it's not disturbing, and it's your bong and you made the picture (not a picture from google), it's ok :)

2007-01-11 [Aldalome]: hello, I have a question about the uar.
Is it allowed to have logos form lets say, brands and bands in your house?
And the 2 example pictures that were made for the mainstreet image competition, is it allowed to post them into your house?
and someone put an oficial badge ( hedda's badge into their drawing slot) should I report that?

2007-01-11 [Slavork]: your first question, no logos and brands aren't allowed :) all art that isn't made by you isn't allowed, unless you got permission from the artist.
same for your second question, only if you ask their permission. (and give a note that they gave you permission, so they get the credit)
and yes, you should report that :)

2007-01-11 [Aldalome]: Thank you I've been watching these houses since yesterday. I'll report them right away.

2007-01-11 [Slavork]: thank you for reporting too :)

2007-01-17 [Aldalome]: Hello, I have a question about reporting people (again)
I don't know if I can report these two [doc snov]The picture in his photoslot already disturbs me, but its the picture in the drawingslot that really caught my eye. As you van see its signed Max Hallberg. Max Hallberg exists, he is an elfwood artist. http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/art/h/a/hallberg/hallberg.html
On this persons profile it isn't even shown that he is an elfwood artist. The world possition is also wrong.

next one up is [Just An Awesome Guy] the picture in his drawingslot is copyrigted, but i have trouble finding it on the net.

I know this wiki isn't the place to write semi repots, but I'm just not really sure about these two.


2007-01-17 [Zab]: I think you should report at least the first one, since you have good reasons to believe it's not his and can link to the real artist. :)
I thgink you can report the second one too, if you believe he hadn't made the image. :)
(Not a guard, but I think I'm right x)

2007-01-17 [Aldalome]: Reported them.
*sigh* why do people keep putting stuff like that into their slots or descriptions? Can't they read the rules?

2007-01-17 [Zab]: Of course not, rules are for nerds, didn't you know? It's ''cool'' to break them... ;)

2007-01-17 [Aldalome]: proud to be a nerd then

2007-01-17 [Zab]: Yep.

2007-08-21 [moonscale]: I've been looking for the new rules because I think I've found some people violating them but I cannot seem to find them and when I go to report them the relevant rules are not available from the choices. Did I miss something?

2007-08-21 [sequeena_rae]: I assume you mean the copied texts? Just put it under 'other' in the guard reports. It's a new rule and there's a massive influx of reporting (I assume) so it's easier on them to have it in 'other'.

Also;

G-5. No random copied writings in (descriptions of) houses.
Writing not your own is not allowed, unless someone wrote it especially for you (a friend).
Example: No copied stories, song-lyrics etc
Short quotes, or the likes, that don't exceed 4 phrases/lines/sentences are OK.
Copied questionnaires are allowed with a limit of 50 questions. Therefore choose your questions wisely.

2007-11-02 [taleya]: I have a question: I am new on here, so I want to know can i use pictures of fantasy artists for my embroidery woks? Or is it absolutely prohibited?

2007-11-02 [iippo]: You mean use them as a reference? So you look at them an then repeat the image in a different medium (embroidery). I'd say that's okay, but it would be easier to understand if you could show an example :)
