We\u2019ve put together a set of community guidelines that we believe will help you get the maximum enjoyment from the National Art Society.
\nOur goal is to ensure that these set of guidelines are easy to understand and easy to follow.<\/p>\n

We hope our site becomes a safe space for artists to interact with and grow together. Like any community, we do need to have some basic rules to help keep conversations smooth and the atmosphere fun and professional.<\/p>\n

Keep it civil aka don\u2019t be a jerk<\/h4>\n

We\u2019re going to get into the thick of a lot of discussions and that\u2019s okay. These discussions often entail topics that we all personally care a lot about and will passionately defend. But in order for discussions to thrive here, we need to remember to criticize ideas or critique artwork … do not attack people<\/b>.<\/p>\n

So, remember to avoid:<\/p>\n

\n
• name-calling<\/li>\n
• ad hominem attacks<\/li>\n
• Responding to a post\u2019s tone instead of its actual content.<\/li>\n
• knee-jerk contradiction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Comments that we find to be hateful, inflammatory, or harassing may be removed. If you don\u2019t have something nice to say about another user, don’t say it. Treat others the way you\u2019d like to be treated.<\/p>\n

  Always strive to add value to every interaction and discussion you participate in<\/h4>\n

  There are a lot of discussions that happen every day on National Art Society. Before joining in a discussion, browse through some of the most recent and active discussions happening in the community, especially if you\u2019re new here.<\/p>\n

  Keep it tidy<\/h4>\n

  Help make moderators\u2019 lives easier by taking a moment to ensure that what you\u2019re about to post is in the right place. That means:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • don\u2019t post off-topic comments or discussions: check the forum topics page<\/a> to find the appropriate forum for your topic<\/li>\n
  • don\u2019t cross-post the same art multiple times.<\/li>\n
  • check if another active discussion on your topic has already been posted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If you see something, say something<\/h4>\n

    Moderators are at the forefront of combatting spam, mediating disputes and enforcing community guidelines and, so are you.<\/p>\n

    If you see an issue, contact the moderators<\/a> if possible or flag any comments for review. If you believe someone has violated the Basic Rules, report it to us by flagging the user’s profile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
