General Rules:

-Be nice! Harassment/putting down other members is absolutely not tolerated.

-Mature content must be put under the mature filter.
-Only journals relating to Lunerest will be accepted.

-Sales are final, refunds will not be provided.

-Any design can be traded for a voucher of similar value to the design.
-Always credit the artist for the design.
-If you have a xyn based on another design the xyn form must be traded with the original design if they were to be traded.

Designs:
-You may give your design alternate/non-canon forms or turn them into other species (as long as you have a MYO slot/permission!)
-You may make minor changes to the design such as swapping a trait or doing minor colour alterations, but they must be recognizable as the original design.
-If you want to do a complete design overhaul there is an item in the Nightsky Plaza for that, however, the original design will be donated back to the group to be raffled or used as a prize.
-You may use the design for personal/nonprofit businesses, use it as a fursona, use it on other sites or gift/trade the design.


MYO:
-MYO slots may be resold for the original price you purchased them for, whether it's group currency or USD, however if it was an event prize or you traded for the slot, you may not resell it. Proof of ownership & how you obtained the slot must be provided if you are reselling.
-MYOs and MYO slots are tradable.

Blacklisting:
-Minor offenses will result in a warning and you will be reminded of the rules and TOS.
-Depending on severity, you will be given a strike/temporary ban/full ban.
-Death threats, harassment and chargebacks will all result in an immediate ban.
-Scamming/cheating will result in a temporary ban upon the first offense, subsequent offenses will result in being permanently banned.
-If you are blacklisted all of your Lunerest characters will be voided from the masterlists and you will be banned from the group and website.
-Claiming ignorance is not a defense, you will be held to all rules when you own a Lunerest species.
