Official Forum Guidelines

[Aspect™]

Welcome to Willard Networks!
(Forum Rules & Guidelines)​

These are all the currently active Rules & Guidelines for these forums. We acknowledge that reading and following a huge list of rules can be boring and annoying at times. For this, we tried to keep them as clear and short as possible. Note that, despite these rules, if a member of the Administration Team feels like you shouldn't be doing something, please listen to them. If you disagree or have a problem with an action taken against you by a member of the Administration Team, please contact a Staff Manager.

The following rule has been added to the Forum Guidelines:

10) AI-GENERATED WRITING IS FORBIDDEN

ⓘ As a server heavily revolving around collaborative storytelling, we believe any usage of AI in creative writing to be a disgrace to the gamemode and as such is exclusively banned.
AI-generated images are permitted, but will be upheld to strict quality standards, and will be removed if they do not meet them.

In an effort to facilitate this change, we are establishing the Media Team - a new group within the Staff Team comprised of prior members of the community holding the 'Content Creator' role, and prior members of the Ministry of Enlightenment from Willard V2.

The Media Team will be available to create artwork for both the community and the rest of the Staff Team alike, Faction Leaders, Event Team, etc.

In addition, we will be looking at creating a central forum thread within the Media Team sub-forum to consolidate resources such as guides, tools, tutorials, and other assets useful in content creation.
