    New Upload Rules - 2021

    General rules (heads, bodies)

    - All custom designs are allowed as long as they follow the shape/form/size of a typical human custom: Normal human head shape, normal human body shape, 2 arms (normal human shape), 2 legs (normal human shape).

    - Respect copyrights and only upload graphics that you have made yourself or that you are authorized to use: Any concepts that are taken from television shows, video games or any other forms of media will not be accepted (this includes content from anime, "meme-heads" like troll face, etc). No customs that have copyrighted logos on them such as Batman, Spiderman, Nike, Adidas and so on.

    - Customs that are deemed overly sexualised or explicit will not be accepted.

    - No customs that face in the wrong directions: e.g. Left-facing frames can’t have a right-facing head

    - No customs which make you appear less visible or camouflaged on certain grounds: e.g. grass textured heads or bodies.

    - Full flat singular colour heads are not allowed, they must contain shading: Generally, customs that are just in one color won't be accepted.

    - No customs that appear realistic or contain real-life people and/or animals.

    - Different colors in different frames is not allowed: For example, one can not have different eye or hair colors on different sprites (ie. cannot have blue hair in the idle frame and then pink hair in the grab frame). The only exception to this rule is aspects such as watermarks/expressions/symbols appearing differently across frames (e.g. smiling on grab).

    - We won't accept customs with missing frames.

    - We do not allow any drug-related images.

    - No images that may be deemed racist, offensive, gory, violent, or inappropriate to the game.

    - Do not use pure black or pure white in your graphics: These two colors are used for transparency in-game and will not be visible on any images that are uploaded.

    - We do not allow any political topics/figures: e.g. via custom uploads, shields or gang logos.


    Heads

    - Small bandanas on heads are acceptable as long as they do not cover the entire head: It can wrap around the entire head as long as parts of the bandana are partially hidden by hair. This can be either on top of the head and/or worn as a mouth/neck bandana.

    - Small accessories such as earrings, piercings, and small hair ties/hair clips are allowed (as long as they blend into the hair): Additionally, tape and pacifiers covering the mouth are allowed as long as they are small.

    - Any other sort of hats on heads will not be tolerated: Glasses are considered as hats and are therefore also not allowed on heads.

    - We don't allow heads that have frames facing in the wrong directions or frames that are out of place: A head that has frames out of place will appear with cutted frames and random pixels/lines that appear unattached to the head in the upload tool.

    - Players are not allowed to upload any protected staff heads: Slightly edited versions of them are also not allowed.


    Animations:

    We only allow small animations on heads. Any animations similar to the following are allowed:
    • Tears rolling down face
    • Blushing animations
    • Any animation WITHIN the eye area as long as it’s not flashy
    • Mouth movement (ie. smiling, yawning, but tongue sticking out as a gif is not allowed)
    • Slight ear twitches
    • Glowing earrings are also allowed, however they can't have a flashy animation.


    Any animations similar to the following are NOT allowed and will be disapproved:
    • Heads that have smoke coming out of their mouths or animations on any part of the face/head (except those mentioned previously) will not be accepted.
    • Any type of glitch effect on the head
    • Animations on hair are not allowed (ie. nothing shining or changing color on the hair) unless it’s a simple ‘hair moving in the wind’ animation


    Bodies

    - We do not allow body animations.

    - Bodies that are primarily one flat colour will not be accepted.

    - We do not allow bodies with weapons attached: This includes swords and guns on the back of the bodies, however, small knives on the front are allowed as long as it is not an existing knife within the game.

    - Bodies with capes, small wings, and backpacks are allowed.

    - Small accessories (ie. mugs) on the sitting frames are allowed: Large accessories such as laptops and such are not allowed.

    - Bodies with hats (such as scarves) are not allowed: Small necklaces on bodies are fine.

    - The death frame has to be a normal body on the floor: It cannot be things such as blankets, body bags, or anything else.

    - Bodies with over-sexualised proportions are not allowed


    Shields

    - No shields which cover, hide and/or replace the entire head or body: Shields cannot be the same size as a player or be able to cover another player. Generally shields shouldn't cover more than 50% of the player character.

    - We do not allow shields that show up as hats, heads or bodies.

    - We do not allow status codes

    - We do allow shield animations: However, they should not disturb the gameplay in any way. No flashing animations.

    - The maximum width for a shield is < 512 PX and height is < 128 PX.


    Gang Pictures

    Most pictures are acceptable as long as they do not include images or content that is vulgar/offensive towards someone else.

    All images allowed except for:
    • Real life people (real-life scenery & animals are allowed)
    • Anything inappropriate/vulgar/offensive/racist/drug-related
    • No social media posts/tags
    • GIF files


    Please note:
    Any player who uploads gang pictures with vulgar or sexual content, will receive an immediate warning. If the player decides to submit another inappropriate image, they are at risk of losing their gang as a form of punishment, and in severe cases may result in a permanent ban.

    So on the shield, I know back then scarf shield was a thing. But scarf are hats correct? So now its now allow anymore? How about sunglasses with a necklace or with a small scarf? Sunglasses/ regular glasses is hat right? Not only that i seen those old funny shield with a buff muscular body also. Also like hairpin or stuff glowing around the hair for a shields is it allow? Or that consider hat?

    Okay so I need to know what the definition of overly sexualized content means because if you look at my avatar from front theres nothing extremely bad looking about it, its just that the proportions it goes by are a lot smaller then seen on normal bodies. One day the body type has never been rejected and was accepted regularly without having any issue, now they deny it within 5 seconds of reviewing it.
    When you think about it, its kind of ironic they made these rules because at the end of the day there is a few of them sold in this one shop at the mall, meaning if you wanted to make that rule official you'd have to remove those bodies completely out of the game. The worst part about it is they are the same shape but yet those are seemingly allowed and my custom is not and gets disregarded without second thought. Like one cannot just dissaprove custom versions while still keeping the shop counter part in the game as if its no big deal. Pretty unfair

    Non-human uploads are allowed - the general shape just has to be similar to a human's proportions.

    Are small horns on the head allowed?
    Even if it's the same color as your hair?
    or can it be of different colors too?
