Mission Statement

Guidelines & Code of Conduct

Here at Project Vinyl we aim to create a friendly community where open discussion and expression of artistic merit are encouraged, where an individual may come to express their own opinions without necessarily feeling opressed or vindicated for expressing those opinions. Most of our guidelines can be summaries in three (3) simple mantra:

  1. Don't be a Jerk

    Bullying, excessive violence, harassment, or other discriminatory behavior on this site is discouraged. That includes any inflamatory remarks, spamming, or otherwise being a jerk.

  2. Use common sense

    Have you heard about [SPOILERS]?

    As a courtasy to other users, we ask that spoilers of any kind, whether be it from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, or any other program or movie, not be posted to the site for at least 7 days after such madia has been release. This allows other poeple the chance to view and enjoy it at their own leisure.

    Note that spoilers may be hidden using the [spoiler]spoiler tag[/spoiler]

    Unrelease content / Leaks may be subject to the same restrictions.

  3. Tagging and Sourcing Are Key

    When someone finds a video on our site, they would naturally want to know where it comes from so always try to include a source if you can!

    Be sure to tag it as well. The more the better. Be as specific as possible! If it's about a specific character, object, tool, show, TAG IT! Using a particular piece of software? TAG IT!
    Tagging makes your content easier to find and easier to filter for people who don't want to see it, so tag everything.

  4. Be Mindful of the Rating

    We allow content of varying maturity ratings which may be filtered by the user's selection of filters. That doesn't mean you can say anything you want in the forums and comments sections. If under an image, always check the tags for what the video's rating is. Discussion of topics above the maturity rating of a given video may be removed and warnings given.

    If you're not sure, ask a moderator, or put it into a spoiler to be safe.

    As always, hate speech, discussion of illegal substances, explotation of minors, or anything else that is otherwise deemed to illegal in any part of the United States, are expressly forbidden.

  5. Use Filters to hide Unwanted Content

    Project Vinyl has extensive filteriong capabilities that allows users to precisely cater the site to their own tastes. Not everything posted to this site is going to be to everyone's tastes, which is why we ask that users utilise these filters to hide wha they don't like to allow others to enjoy their content in peace.

  6. Nobody's Perfect

    These rules may change over time as different needs arise. Moderators are also humans, and thus are subject to mistakes.

    If you need clarification or assistance, we can be contacted through Discord VIA The pony Archive.
