Default Rules of The Furry Fandom

Kinda liked this, figured I'd share it here.

Written by Samuel James Fox.

1) By joining this fandom, you agree that you will get ridiculed someday.

1a) You agree that you will act responsibly and maturely. This means that you won't, for example, try to blank that Encyclopedia Dramatica article you don't like. Not only this doesn't work, but it'll get you ridiculed even more.

2) Three words: Orthography, grammar, and punctuation. This fandom doesn't need idiots who can't greet someone without replacing entire words with abbreviations.

2a) I'm dead. Fucking. Serious. Writing like a mongoloid pisses off EVERYONE, especially those whose native language isn't English and who learnt it - be it entirely by themselves or with help. See, I learnt English ENTIRELY by myself, and while it's still not perfect, I'm doing my best to be comprehensible.

3) You will NEVER bother an artist with requests unless said artist SPECIFICALLY states he takes requests.

3a) In an art site which allows you to comment on an artist's work, you will NEVER ever type shit like "murr I'd fuck her/him/it/whatever" and the thousands of derivatives which are just as stupid and retarded. There are better ways to praise art.

3b) You are allowed to diss shitty art without restraint. Wannabe artists have the duty to use their judgment to assess the quality of their own art and to decide whether or not they should upload it. This is even more important when said art is drawn porn. If you can't draw anything correctly, DON'T UPLOAD IT. Do this fandom a favor and do not pollute the internet with your sub-par excuse of a drawing.

4) You will not take photos of yourself in a fursuit, no matter the costume's quality, where you are engaging in sexual acts, be it with another person, a sexual toy, or your hands. It's people like these who give this fandom a bad name.

4a) Diaper fetishists, stay the fuck away from this fandom. "Diaperfurs", get the fuck out. You are not liked in here. We hate you. You guys are awful even by furry standards.

4b) You are responsible for what you say in there. If you say that you diddled a kid or that you fucked a dog, you must accept the consequences.

4c) You will not take the defense of people convicted of serious crimes, and you will not complain if they get banned from a website even though their crime has nothing to do with it. (I'm looking at you, Frank Gembeck fans.)

5) Upon achieving fame, you will not act like a snob at others. You may be famous, but you are only known in the furry fandom. There's far better people out there, so don't let your ego take over.

5a) You will not rip off people. Your customers are most likely what helps you pay the rent. If you commit a fraud, and people gets word of it, you're pretty much dead in this fandom.

5b) You will accept responsibility for giving the fandom a bad name if you end up saying that you fuck your mate in a fursuit and proceed to parade with it on national TV.

5c) You will accept that we are entitled to hate you just as much as you hate us. You will not use substitutes to names (the usual idiots instead of liberals) to make your rhetoric sound more manly. It does not. All it does is make you sound like a pompous asshole.

6) You will not threaten to sue a website for failing to live up to your personal expectations. This means that you won't threaten to sue just because a site will not force your set of beliefs down the throats of others.

7) If you fail to follow these rules, we have the right to insult and humiliate you until you leave this fandom.

I think these are normal rules, I just can't find anything too... different.
As for number 2..
English is not my native language, and no matter how I talk normally people start typing "talk english" and that pisses me off.
You should add:
8. You will never threaten an artist's life because what he drew for you wasn't for your taste.
8a.That means no knives, biological weapons and shotguns.
8b. Your argument is invalid.

Diaper fetishes aren't really that bad compared to say, zoophilia.

I agree entirely with almost all of it.

4a could be worded differently. Yes, diaper fetishists need to GTFO, but diaperfurs aren't all necessarily fetishists. Albeit most are, but those that are can simply fall under rule number 4 as a whole. No need to have a separate subrule for one group of weirdos and not others. (I can't help but notice that cubporn isn't mentioned on that list)

Of course, maybe I'm just the wierd one among the weirdos.

This seems legit. I agree with everything except 3b. Criticism is one thing, trashing is another.

3 can be tweaked a little, as it doesn't hurt to ask if they're taking requests.

I personally have no issue with people who 'cant draw' submitting art. I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today if it weren't for people on the internet encouraging me to keep drawing even when all I did wasy shitty sonic recolors. Granted I'm not exactly amazing now but still
