Community Policies

Renderotica is dedicated to fostering a creative space where artists can freely express themselves, provided they adhere to specific legal and community guidelines. Below are the policies governing participation on this platform.

Posting Guidelines

The following restrictions apply to all areas of the website, including but not limited to the Gallery (images, descriptions, comments), Community (forums, blogs), and private messages:

Children and Youth

  • Depictions of children or child-like creatures (including imaginary ones such as fairies) under 18 years old are strictly forbidden, even in non-erotic scenarios.
  • Text, props, or scenery implying a character is under 18 years old are not allowed.
  • All characters in images must clearly appear to be 20 years or older. Moderators reserve the right to remove any images that do not meet these standards.

Bestiality

  • No depictions of humans engaging in sexual acts with animals or vice versa.
  • Animals include any currently living real-world species.
  • Mythical creatures are permitted unless they closely resemble real animals (e.g., unicorns are disallowed, but a bipedal minotaur is acceptable).

Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) Images

  • The use of Generative AI has become more common and to recognize this, we have created AI categories and Preferences that must be used.
    • ANY use of AI tools to generate or edit images must use the Generative AI Gallery Categories AND the Generative AI Preference, or your images may be removed by Content Moderators without notice
  • Images that appear to be photos of real people, whether AI generated or NOT will be removed without notice
  • If you disagree with an image being removed, you may share your working files with the Content Moderator so they can see that it was rendered and created within a software program such as Daz Studio, Poser, Blender, ds Max, etc

Intellectual Property

  • Copyrighted content remains the property of the original owner. Renderotica may use posted images for operational or promotional purposes without notice.
  • Members retain the right to remove their contributions.
  • Do not post work you do not own or have permission to use. Violations resulting in valid DMCA notices may lead to account termination.
  • We do NOT allow photos or photomanipulations of real people.
  • Do not repost Renderotica images elsewhere without permission.

External Links

To foster a creative, supportive community while protecting the integrity of our platform, we have updated our policy on offsite links and references. The aim is to encourage open discussions without promoting outside platforms in a way that disrupts the forum’s focus or erodes the sales of our Content Artists.

  1. Offsite Links
    1. Prohibited: Direct links to other marketplaces or commercial platforms (e.g., linking to Daz, Renderhub, Gumroad, etc.) are not allowed in posts, image descriptions, or signatures. This helps maintain the focus on our community and prevents external marketing within the forum. Offsite links can also damage our own SEO statistics and result in less natural traffic through search engine queries.
    2. Exceptions: Non-commercial links that offer educational value or tools relevant to the conversation (e.g., tutorials, resources) may be shared in dedicated threads, provided they are not promoting another business or marketplace.
  2. Site References
    1. Permitted: Mentions of other platforms by name (e.g., "I got this model on Daz") are allowed, as long as they are part of a meaningful discussion or critique, and not overtly promotional. Users should not encourage others to leave the platform or promote alternatives to our marketplace.
    2. Limits on Promotion: Repeatedly mentioning other platforms with the intent to divert traffic or business may result in post moderation or account restrictions.
  3. Self-Promotion
    1. Prohibited: Posts or descriptions that solely exist to promote another platform, marketplace, or individual business are not allowed. If you wish to promote your personal work, use designated sections of your Artist Studio (Like Profile page or Blogs) and link to your Artist Studio Profile through Gallery Descriptions or Signatures.
    2. Permitted: You may reference personal projects or portfolios if it is relevant to the discussion and adds value to the community, but avoid over-promotion.
  4. Forum Moderation
    1. Posts and comments will be monitored for compliance. Members who abuse these guidelines will be subject to warnings or have their posts removed.

Gallery Categories and Preferences

Members can customize their gallery preferences to filter unwanted content. When posting images:

  • Select appropriate categories to improve the viewing experience.
  • Misclassified or improperly submitted images may be removed without notice.

Violations and Repercussions

Content violations are determined by site administrators or moderators. Actions taken may include:

  • Warnings: Typically, one warning is issued for violations.
  • Account Revocation: Severe or intentional violations may result in immediate account termination.
  • Public disputes regarding policy enforcement are prohibited and may result in an immediate ban.

If you are unsure about your content, consult the Content Moderator before posting.

Reporting Violations

  • Use the "Report Abuse" link above images to report potential violations.
  • Moderators will review reports and make final decisions.

Member Conduct

To maintain a positive environment, all members must adhere to these guidelines:

  • No personal attacks on members, past or present.
  • No threatening, libelous, or defamatory messages.
  • No spam via private messages or emails originating from the site.
  • No activities that disrupt website operations, including actions causing denial of service.

Violations may result in warnings, suspensions, or permanent bans depending on severity.

Solicitation of Illegal Software

  • Soliciting or trading illegal software (e.g., warez) is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate banning.
