DARR New Rules

Hello everyone-

Group manager Bell :iconasinglepetal: here. I decided to update the rules for the group because while looking through the rules they were rather outdated--and just old--that I updated them. The first rules are on the original site but it's 2017 now they are outdated and things change. We at the Deviantart Resembool Rangers (DARR) have listened and read our members concerns to the new rules. As of June 3, 2017, the DARR admins (Bell :iconasinglepetal:, Ro :iconsalamangkiro:, Sakura :iconmadiicake:, Nao :iconnaoguiarts:, Becky :iconanimefanbecky: and Speedy :iconspeedyalchemist:) have reworded and approved these rules. These rules will be in effect until the next revamp in ten years from this date, June 3, 2017.

Disclaimer/History
We here in the DA Rangers are an official branch of the Risembool Rangers (DARR), which began on Yahoo and branched off to several different places. DARR is a non-profit group. We are a bunch of fans that volunteer and donate (via prizes, art, writing, or publishing costs) based on our expertise. If you would like to donate, or help cover project costs please get a hold of a DARR moderator. DARR is not just a "Fullmetal Alchemist Club" we are supportive of everything Vic's worked on!  Whether the roles are well-known, or not.  We're pro Vic all the way!

We also support talented voice artists (Not just Vic ;-) ). Members will see fun projects in support of actors who have or are currently working with Vic. We at DARR would like our members to understand that we strive to make our group a happy and friendly environment.

“DARR are friends!” (pirate voice)
Here in the DARR, it is our goal is to provide a happy and positive atmosphere to all our members (especially those who are introduced to the world of Anime and voice actors-such as Vic Mignogna)! You have joined us because you have the same interests as us and we are so happy that you are a part of our family! :-)

As a family, there will be times that there may be some disputes or miscommunications, but that is normal because we’re only human after all . We do ask that if these moments happen that you would be patient with us moderators because we are learning as well! If you have any questions or concerns feel free to get a hold of one of our friendly mods (Bell :iconasinglepetal:, Ro :iconsalamangkiro:, Sakura :iconmadiicake:, Nao :iconnaoguiarts:, Becky :iconanimefanbecky: and Speedy :iconspeedyalchemist:) and we will resolve the issue as best as we can.

Membership
If you want to become a member it is easy as 1-2-3! Click the “Join group” icon on Deviantart. Once you have received confirmation that you’re in the group--you are officially a DARR Ranger! If you’d like to make yourself an official badge, check the Deviantart group main page where you can see a card template. Feel free to print that out and make yourself an official badge to post on your Deviantart page (once you have been confirmed, of course).

Member Rules
:bulletred: 1:  Be Polite; No Fighting
If you do not agree with someone, that's fine because we are all human beings and everyone has different likes and interests. However, we do ask that all our members are courteous on the Discord chat room and our Deviantart page. If you and a fellow member happen to disagree on a topic, please discuss the matter in private via DA notes, or a private chat room.

:bulletred: 2: No Spamming
Spam is for emails, not the group. If there is to be spam, that is from the DARR mods spamming the Group journals for cool contests, projects, events and awesome interviews/news about Vic Mignogna and his fellow voice actors! We, the mods, will not DA note you unless you signed up for a project you participated in to check on your progress. We will not email you unless you made special arrangements with a mod to keep you communicated via email.

:bulletred: 3: We choose what Art is accepted Here
If there's work of any kind submitted to our Group that do not adhere to our bilines (aka rules) or are not pre-approved by a moderator for our gallery, we will remove it.  Please do not take offense!  We're just a tad strict here.  The same policy goes for a Non-Vic-Related Artwork; it may-or-may-not be removed.

:bulletred: 4: No 18+ Content
This is a safe group. Not everyone agrees with 18+ content so we will keep it that way. In clarification of what is considered 18+ to DA: incest, porn, sex, inapropriate fetishes, pedofile ships. Shonen-ai is acceptable (light or suggestive not extreme). DARR will accept gallery submissions that entail fighting scenes as long as it is not too gory.

Please keep note that this is a site for all including kids so no 18+ content or inappropriate content unless the project is approved by the mods for we understand that some anime series that Vic--or any voice actor--is in may be targeted for a mature audience.

:bulletred: 5: Joining Projects and Contests
Joining a project is easy peasy! If you see a contest or project journal entry that you’d like to participate in all you have to do is leave a comment in the journal and we’ll message you to let you know that you’ve been  added to the list (via comment or DA Note).

As a member, we do ask that if you have signed up to participate in any major projects that you provide links of the completed work. When an assignment is completed, we ask you to post your work on your DA page and send the moderator that you are working with a DA Note or leave in the comments page of the journal you entered in with a link of your page. If for some reason you cannot complete a project, please let the moderator in charge of the project know and we can pass the assigned slot to the next person.

:bulletred: 6: Unfinished artwork
It is understandable that life gets in the way.  If you have signed up for a project that requires artwork to be done at a specific time frame we ask that you get that project done in the allotted time-unless you have made pre arrangements with that project moderator to extend the time.

If you have signed up on a project but we have not heard back from you after sending you a follow up DA Note/comment, we do have the discretion to pass the page that you were assigned to the next member interested (including works that are half finished). Some of the projects that we have posted are time sensitive and we want to make sure to have them completed to present as a gift to our fellow actors.

:bulletred: DARR  Polls
1. Contests are decided by member vote.
2. There are no campaigning for votes allowed in any contest.
3. The deadlines for contests are both a deadline as well as the date that the polls go up, give or take a few minutes.  
4. If there is a deadline conflicting with another contest, the polls may be delayed until the first contest that was put up ends.

:bulletred: Chat Room (Discord)

Rooms Key

3. The chat room has a three strikes policy. If you are rude to another ranger, bullying or annoying them, a chat moderator will warn you with a strike.
4. If a member has a strike or has been banned and would like to rejoin, the member must speak to a chat moderator that has given the strike:
          - Banned - The member must adhere the rules and understand that rules cannot be broken (kind of like equivalent exchange :P).
          -1-2 Strikes - Will be observed by the chat moderator to evaluate the improvement of the member’s behavior.
5. If you post anything that is inappropriate (Read section “No 18+ content”  if you are unsure) you will be removed from the chat room.

I honestly can't help but find it offensive that Homosexual pairings aren't allowed...

People don't have to like it but they should at least accept its existence.....
