Code of Conduct

Last updated: 07 Apr 2021

We're a small business. Most of our time is taken up creating new content and working on commissions, so opening up our website to public content is something we want to do in the right way.

Coming from a streaming background, we understand how important it is to listen to feedback and make changes based on our community's input.

We value all opinions, open communication and constructive feedback provided by our community and we want to make sure that our public forums are places where anyone can voice their thoughts and opinions freely and openly.

With that in mind, here's a rundown of the type of content that isn't allowed on our website, and the enforcement actions that will be taken if this content is found on our site.

Breaking the Law

You must respect all applicable local, national, and international laws while using our services. Any content or activity featuring, encouraging, offering, or soliciting illegal activity is prohibited.

Suspension Evasion

All suspensions are binding until expiration or removal upon successful appeal. Any attempt to circumvent an account suspension or ban by using other accounts, identities, or by appearing on another user’s account will also result in an additional enforcement against your accounts, up to an indefinite suspension.

Violence and Threats

Acts and threats of violence will be taken seriously and are considered zero-tolerance violations and all accounts associated with such activities will be indefinitely suspended. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Attempts or threats to physically harm or kill others
• Attempts or threats to hack, DDOS, or SWAT others

Direwolf Design does not allow content that depicts, glorifies, encourages, or supports terrorism, or violent extremist actors or acts. This includes threatening to or encouraging others to commit acts that would result in serious physical harm to groups of people or significant property destruction. You may not display or link terrorist or extremist propaganda, including graphic pictures or footage of terrorist or extremist violence, even for the purposes of denouncing such content.

Hateful Conduct & Harassment

Hateful conduct is any content or activity that promotes or encourages discrimination, denigration, harassment, or violence based on the following protected characteristics: race, ethnicity, color, caste, national origin, immigration status, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, serious medical condition, and veteran status. We also provide certain protections for age.

Direwolf Design has zero tolerance for hateful conduct, meaning we act on every valid reported instance of hateful conduct. We afford every user equal protections under this policy, regardless of their particular characteristics.

Unauthorized Sharing of Private Information

Do not invade the privacy of others. It is prohibited to share content that may reveal private personal information about individuals, or their private property, without permission. This includes but is not limited to:

• Sharing personally identifiable information (such as real name, location, or ID)
• Sharing restricted or protected social profiles or any information from those profiles
• Sharing content that violates another’s reasonable expectation of privacy without permission

Spam, Scams, and Other Malicious Conduct

Any content or activity that disrupts, interrupts, harms, or otherwise violates the integrity of Direwolf Design services or another user’s experience or devices is prohibited. Such activity includes:

• Posting large amounts of repetitive, unwanted messages or user reports
• Distributing unauthorized advertisements
• Phishing
• Defrauding others
• Spreading malware or viruses
• Misinformation (such as feigning distress or posting misleading metadata)
• Selling or sharing user accounts
• Reselling Direwolf Design services or features
• Defacing, or attempting to deface, website pages or other Direwolf Design services (such as uploading inappropriate or malicious content)

Nudity, Pornography, and Other Sexual Content

Nudity and sexually explicit content, such as pornography, sexual acts or intercourse, and sexual services, are prohibited.

Content that threatens or promotes sexual violence or exploitation is strictly prohibited and may be reported to law enforcement. Child exploitation will be reported to authorities via the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Sexually suggestive content is also prohibited, although it may be allowed in educational contexts or for pre-approved licensed content, in each case subject to additional restrictions.

Extreme Violence, Gore, and Other Obscene Conduct

Content that displays extreme or gratuitous gore and violence is prohibited.

Intellectual Property Rights

You should only share content on our website that you own, or that you otherwise have rights to or are authorized to share on Direwolf Design. If you share content on our platform that you do not own or otherwise do not have the rights to share, you may be infringing another person’s intellectual property rights.

Content Moderation

We rely on our community to help us to moderate content on our website. If you see something you feel may be in violation of our Code of Conduct, we have provided quick and easy ways for you to report and remove that content from our website.
