All artwork should be of your own creation.Art theft is a serious violation of the artist’s code and will automatically be considered a ban-worthy offense. Always make sure to provide the source of the posted artwork/material. You must provide a source if posting any of the following:
Traced art is acceptable, but you must provide the source or reference.
For artwork that is not yours, add a link to the source.
Art must follow global rules (PG13) - Any sensitive content must be spoilered including but not limited to art/photos featuring insects, blood, gore, and horror. Even light blood must be censored. Mild blood is acceptable, but heavy gore is not allowed. In addition to using the spoiler feature, you must give a warning as to what the link contains. For example: "Blood warning spoiler: <imagelink>" If you have any questions about whether an image is appropriate or how to spoiler an image, you may PM a staff member.

Do not PM artists and beg them to make free art for you.They put a lot of effort into their drawings and may not draw whatever you want for free. (up to the artists' discretion)

General
Be nice to people. Respect people. Don't be rude to people.
PS is based in the US. Follow US laws. Don't distribute pirated material, and don't slander others. PS is available to users younger than 18, so porn is strictly forbidden.
No cheating. Don't exploit bugs to gain an unfair advantage. Don't game the system (by intentionally losing against yourself or a friend in a ladder match, by timer-stalling, etc).
English only, unless specified otherwise.
The First Amendment does not apply to PS, since PS is not a government organization.
Chat
Do not spam, flame, or troll. This includes advertising and flooding the chat such as by copy/pasting logs.
Don't call unnecessary attention to yourself. Don't be obnoxious. ALL CAPS and formatting are acceptable to emphasize things, but should be used sparingly, not all the time.
No minimodding: don't mod if it's not your job. Don't tell people they'll be muted, don't ask for people to be muted, and don't talk about whether or not people should be muted ("inb4 mute", etc). This applies to bans and other punishments, too.
We reserve the right to tell you to stop discussing moderator decisions if you become unreasonable or belligerent.
