We are more than happy to see you here and glad to accommodate your stay; we only ask that you maintain the rules that we have set in place for everyone's general conveniences. We regularly use our website (here), Discord, and Deviantart so it is highly recommended (and required) that you join in on the later of the two so that you can be kept up to date with the ongoing progression of Mystirva and our group. We ask that you read through everything and take note on all that we have to say so that everyone can have a wonderful time during their stay here and to further our goals to maintain an enjoyable place for all that find their way here.
Key Rules to Follow
The first and foremost of our rules is to treat others with respect and kindness: The main goal of the Kobbits of Mystirva is to promote a growing and supportive community where those that pass into it are allowed to enjoy themselves and have fun. All forms of harassment, bullying, ill intent, hate, and the like will not be tolerated while within the group. Anything said with the intent to hurt others or promote drama and general problems will be treated with zero tolerance and will be treated as a bannable offense. Examples include, but are not limited to: homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, or ableism. Everyone will be held to the same standards over this matter.
Be careful/mindful of your words and your actions as you proceed: Similar to what was stated above, watch what you have to say and how you say things. Individuals have their own feelings and opinions over matters; and if theirs does not find line with your own that does not make them automatically wrong (nor does it give you the right to act in a negative way towards them). Discussions are fine, though some subjects should be better avoided; and arguments are not acceptable. Talking negatively about others in any way is not acceptable. Drama is not acceptable. We are here to create a supportive community that strives to help bring one another up and make each other feel better. If you are asked to move a conversation to DMs or to drop the matter entirely, especially by any form of staff, then we ask you to do so. Pressing matters further can result in staff actions and potentially being banned.
Please respect all Staff members: All of our Staff within our server work very hard to provide the best experience possible to the members of Mystirva. We ask for patience and understanding while we work with everyone to create the best possible community that we can. In tandem with this, please treat the Staff with as equal respect as you would anyone else. Just because a member of the community does or does not have a title attached to their name does not excuse anyone from any of the other rules within the group. However, we ask that you do not block any of the Staff members of the group nor directly DM them without direct permissions to. We have dedicated specific channels for all Staff questions and the like and appreciate that you use them for all questions and concerns. If, for any reason, a Staff member has treated you unfairly or broken any of the rules within the server then they too will be held accountable for their actions.
You must be 15 years or older to participate within the Kobbits of Mystirva: We ask that all those that wish to join our group must be at least 15 years of age due to the mature themes of the group. Please, do not lie regarding your age. All those cause lying over their ages will be banned.
Content warnings and maturity: The Kobbits of Mystirva is a group based heavily on horror themes and elements that some might find disturbing. While we will do our best to contain some of the harsher aspects of the group behind general warnings prior to each section; however, the following are commonly found throughout: mild gore, body horror, trypophobia, entomophobia, arachnophobia, and various other horror and mature themes. While we do allow others to follow suit with their own stories and artwork, we ask that you too try, as we do, to mark any elements that could cause issues or that could be found triggering to other viewers. However, with this, we still have members of the group that will be under the age of 18 and ask everyone kindly to refrain from any and all 18+ content that is not “safe for work.”
Do not plagiarize or use art that is not your own: Please, do not trace or steal artwork. You are allowed to use references if need be, but only if you credit that original artist to the piece used for said referencing. While we do promote collaborations and the growth of our members through working together, credit still needs to be given where it is due. Use your own, original pieces.
On accounts and your own artwork: While we require that you join both our Discord group and our Deviantart group so that you can participate fully; we would like to note that only one account is allowed per person. If you wish to move to another account, please notify Staff of this choice so that the proper actions can be taken and what can be moved from one to the other done in a proper manner. Furthermore, any artwork that you have created should not be deleted. Artwork is used to show both progression of your actions personally as well as actions within the group. If an original application is deleted, so to is all of the progression made with the now gone Kobbit.
