⟁ • Follow the Basilisk Stew ToS at all times.
⟁ • Be civil towards one another in-thread and the guild, whether or not you like a certain person. This also means be civil to newbies, even if they ask a thousand and one questions. Be welcoming to newbies, as they help our shop grow!
⟁ • Try to monitor how you speak. This means please refrain from chat speak or spamming the thread. If you feel like the thread is dead and needs life, start a conversation instead of simply saying 'bump'. Chatter is always loved in the shop! Cursing, while allowed, should be kept at a minimum.
⟁ • While you are absolutely free to vent in-thread, please spoiler anything that could be triggering, as well as warn in red what the content may contain. This helps protect those who cannot handle certain topics, and helps you get the help you need!
⟁ • If you believe there is an issue with another customer that a staff member must know about, or you're aware of another breaking the rules, please contact us at the main mule!
⟁ • Refrain from begging or whining for a character. We have plenty of events, and you will surely get a character through the various means we have. However, if you're caught whining, staff will be less likely to grant you a raptor. Good behavior is rewarded, bad behavior is not tolerated.
⟁ • When you enter an event, game, or another service we provide there is a chance you'll lose. Should you lose, please remain a good-sport. There will be other chances! However, if you win, please refrain from excessively bragging.
⟁ • Do not copy, steal, alter, or mimic any of the graphics used in this shop. This includes but is not limited to banners, raptor lines, user-made content, and such. You may place ponies you own or have permission to use in your signature, in banners, and such as long as you do not alter the lines.
⟁• All trades must be sent within 24 hours of acquiring a raptor. Failure to do so may cause the staff who ran the game/event to re-roll for a new winner.
⟁ • You may not use a mule to acquire more ponies. If you are caught doing so you'll immediately be blacklisted.
⟁• Do not sell a raptor you've received here. If you don't want a raptor anymore you may take them to our swap & gift thread. (insert link(s))
⟁ • If you are gaming a character off, you may only advertise 3 times a week that particular game. This includes in-thread and the Discord group chat!
⟁ • You need to own a raptor here before you can roleplay. You may not borrow another person's raptor, whether or not you have their permission.
⟁ • Humans do not exist in this world.
⟁• RP is not required to keep most raptors. RP does come with perks, however! Staff may never take a raptor away due to lack of RP, unless the character is essential to the lore of the shop and a warning is given before the raptor is homed that RP is required to keep them. Certain characters gamed off that influence how the shop runs will have warnings that they are RP required, so no one is blindsided.
⟁ • When someone declines plots, RP, or a breeding that means no. Continuing to pester them will cause a staff member to intervene.
⟁ • Evil characters are allowed, and loved! But, please refrain from RPing excessive violence in-guild or in-thread, as it can trigger a customer!
⟁ • Certain things should never be RPed in public, whether in-thread or in-guild. This includes sexual violence, abuse, torture, and other grim topics. Death is permitted, as well as fighting, but please use common sense. If we catch an RP pertaining a subject we do not permit we will delete the RP without warning and contact the participants.
⟁ • Plots pertaining to rape is not permitted. If we see in your plot thread you seeking a plot related to it, or the act being documented in your journal we will ask you to remove it. Backstories with this event in it will also be asked to be edited.
⟁ • In the interest to make the shop run as smoothly as possible and as well as secure safety, people who cause actual harm to a staff-member that does not occur within the shop can be removed from the shop completely to ensure safety. This is only for extreme situations, where having that person within the shop will genuinely hurt a staff-member.
⟁ • To join the guild you need 100 posts. If you do not have 100 posts but have a friend in the shop, said friend can vouch for you and we will accept you. If you lack a friend in the shop, consistent talking in-thread will allow entry into the guild. Just stick around!
⟁ • If a staff-member quotes you with directions, please take any questions about said directions to that specific staff-member. Going to another staff-member can cause communication errors, and stress. If you are participating in customs/breedings/an event run by a specific staffer and need a direct answer about said event, please ask the person running the event.
