BUCK BUNKER RULES AND GUIDELINES 

We operate the website https://buck-bunker.com/ (the "Site") which manages the closed species “Bucks”

General Rules

• The Buck Bunker (“Site”) is a website dedicated to the “Buck” closed species, meaning you cannot make one without permission.
• Any type of homophobia, sexism, racism, hate speech, ableism etc will NOT be tolerated.
• We do not tolerate or support AI, and we will not allow the sale and distribution of AI art within the species (this includes showing any AI art).
• Art theft will not be tolerated in any form (AI art, tracing, claiming other's artwork as your own).
• Keep all political, controversial topics, etc off the Site.
• You may not have any admins/moderators blocked as it interferes with our duties to the Site. 
• Do not slander or talk vaguely about other people, we’d prefer if any issues with others are kept out off the Site. 
• If you have an issue with a member due to buck-related things or genuine concerns (e.g.- A well-known scammer joins the Site) please DM a moderator via discord  https://discord.gg/kepzJRh  or submit a report.
• Ignoring an admin/moderator comment or response relating to rule-breaking is not allowed and can result in a punishment. 
• Admins/Moderators are not to be downplayed when they are enforcing the Site rules
• Don’t overshare personal information (addresses, phone numbers, passwords, etc)
• This website is SFW, NSFW content is NOT allowed and will be deleted. Further action might take place if a user continues to post inappropriate content. 
• Any NSFW artwork will need to be heavily censored. No artwork showing heavy adult themes (sex, kinks, bodily fluids, etc). We only accept artistic nudity when a censor bar is present. 
• Artwork containing blood, wounds, and gore needs to be censored.
• This site is minor-friendly (a) subjecting minors to dangerous content will result in a ban (b) if proof is given that an adult is grooming a minor on our Site the adult will be banned (c) minors must be at least 13 years of age with parental consent to join the Site. 
• Please refrain from heavily questioning admins/moderators to update something (a)Asking questions like ‘When will x be updated, when will x happen’ will be ignored unless an admin/moderator in charge of said update is MIA (missing in action).

Strike System

We have a 3-4 strike system, if you tally up to 3/4 strikes depending on strike severity and how soon they happen after one another, we have the right to blacklist you and ban you from the species/server/website. Minor offenses can result in verbal warnings (such as arguing with a mod, being passive-aggressive in chat, etc) or a temporary mute. Too many minor offenses can turn into an official strike. More serious offenses are considered scamming, inflating resale prices, selling traded 'bucks/myos, etc. These can result in a ban from the species/server/site.

Messaging the Creator

Please respect the creator of this species' boundaries and follow the rules listed below

• We ask that you do not private message the Creator Sharkscry ‘Sky’ for any reason regarding ‘Buck questions unless Sky states that you can PM her. PMS are still open for people who Sky owes things too (commissions, an adopt file, a design she owes, etc).

Trading/Selling

• Please make sure you’re willing to part with whatever you are putting up for offer.
• Do not back out of selling or trading a buck if the issues revolve around you changing your mind about getting rid of said buck.
• When you accept an offer to trade or resell a buck details are to be worked out between the two participants. If looking to cancel a trade, details must be worked out between the participants as well unless it involves someone attempting to scam (E.g.- You sending the money to purchase a character and then the user not transferring said character to you).
• You cannot sell anything species related unless you have put real currency into obtaining them and/or additional purchased art. (E.g. you cannot sell something you got as a gift, in a raffle, or for free if you did not spend any real currency to obtain it).
• You can resell anything you bought yourself for the exact original purchase price or less, you cannot resell them for more (unless it has extra commissioned art adding to the value and has been appraised by an admin/moderator).
• All premade 'bucks that you resell over their base value (commissioned art) must first be appraised. This is to prevent price inflation & scamming.
• All 'bucks/Genos/Myos/Items that you are reselling must have some kind of proof of purchase attached, this is to avoid price inflation & scamming.
• All 'bucks MUST be submitted and uploaded on buck-bunker.com before trading.
• All advertisements may be reposted once a day.
• No guilt-tripping or pressuring people to trade.
• You cannot trade unapproved MYO designs, all designs must be submitted and approved first through buck-bunker.com before they’re put up for offers.
• If reselling 'bucks, please state whether or not it is first come first serve, you are tentative, etc.
• All specified details must be clear in the ad/post.
• If you are trading a ‘Buck that has both a non-buck and ‘Buck form from before it was banned please trade BOTH versions of the character or a strike/ban will be given to you. 
• 'bucks need to be submitted to the Site first before you can use them.

'Buck Editing Rules

These are the official rules for editing adopts/designs by sharkscry

• Minor edits are okay to do (getting rid of a marking, changing a marking, changing eye color, changing horn type, altering one color as long as it's on one part of the body). Minor edits are changing something in ONE area (leg, face, tail, body).
• You may revert to an older design of a 'buck with a MOK.
• You may not revert to an older design of a 'buck if the original/previous design was illegal and is no longer allowed (e.g.- pokemon based 'bucks, 'bucks with scales before Primals, etc).
• Changing more than one thing requires a MOK.
• You can remove/add accessories & scars without a MOK.
• Changing hair is a major edit that requires a MOK (because it counts towards color count).
• Minor changes can be submitted to buck-bunker.com without having to submit the original first.
• Major changes require the original design to be submitted first, and a MOK is required to change it.
• Altering the entire palette is a MAJOR change and requires a MOK.
• You can get rid of morphs (such as morphed ears), but the series must remain the same and you still need to stay in the same area for editing (getting rid of morphed ears = only allowed to edit the face/head).
• You can change traits in one area (must stay within the series).

Appraisal Rules

You may only sell 'bucks if one or more of the following apply:

• You personally put money into the 'buck via commissions.
• You bought the 'buck from someone else.
• You bought the 'buck from Sky via adopts, a custom, etc.
• You may add on the monetary value of an myo slot if the slot was purchased.
• You do need an appraisal if you are adding the value of a slot plus the design value (e.g.- A $25 myo slot + a $25 custom).
• You must provide proof of original payment if selling for the price you bought it at (this includes designs made by the creator).
• You don't need an appraisal if you are reselling a ‘buck at their base/price (I.e. gachas, Flat sales, auctions), However, you do need proof of sending the original payment attached to said characters toyhouse or your AD.
• You need an appraisal if you are adding onto the monetary worth of a ‘buck.
• You do need an appraisal if you are adding on monetary worth from commissions and you were originally traded the 'buck (E.g.- you were traded a 'buck and bought a $10 commission of it and want to sell it for the $10 you must get it appraised).
