Since Baltic Sled Association is based off of CS Oekaki, it is understood that all users follow and understand Tess and Nick's rules. Since all users of this site are from the Oekaki forums, it is expected that you know what all of these rules are as this understanding is required in order to have a Baltic. If you do NOT know these rules, please contact an administrator so the most up to date link can be given to you.
While interaction with other users is fairly limited and public, base guidelines and understanding of this include:
- General kindness towards others, so no bullying/harassment/hate speech
- Utilization of only one account, with said account having accurate information - you are not allowed to register if you do not meet your state/country's age limit, same as CS
- No cheating or scamming, including in trades with other users or in personification of art theft / lack of crediting
- No adult content, such as illegal material, graphic content, adult conversations/allusions, or offensive material. Everything must be child friendly
- No requesting personal information of others, or providing personal information such as age, specific location, school, or other identifying details
In terms of species specific rules, we have both community rules and owner specific rules.
Community Rules
▪ Follow all of the CS site rules on all places related to Baltic Sled Association, including the discord chat
▪ General closed species rules apply here: no unofficial adopts, stealing characters, etc
▪ General common sense rules: respect others, no guilt tripping, staff impersonation, etc. Absolutely no discrimination is welcome here - there is a zero tolerance policy
▪ No mini-modding, even if the content being provided is correct
▪ Please allow for three weeks time before inquiring about contest judging/nursery batches/etc
▪ For any issues, please contact Baltic staff! If it is an issue where CS staff must be involved, then please contact us after contacting staff so we can be aware!
Ownership Rules
▪ You may own as many dogs/reindeer as you would like, but be mindful of other members!
▪ Any design changes must be discussed with staff and approved.
▪ Any character under new ownership requires a post on the original thread by the original owner, and confirmation from the new owner.
▪ You may not sell any husky or reindeer, regardless of value. However, all adopts may be readopted out, traded, or gifted!
▪ Huskies and reindeer traded can only be traded for baltic related items (other official baltic adopts, items, slots, etc) or custom made art (no premade characters). You can also trade slots, permitted the baltic already has the slot open!
Disclaimer: as of 5/7/2020, the Baltic Sled Association staff retain the right to revoke any adopt as seen fit. This includes but is not limited to due to any bannable offense, or breaking a rule. Any character that was owned before this date will not be under this rule: however, any ownership changes past this date will fall under this rule, as the owner would have not owned the character before this rule was put in place.
