guide-lines:
- be professional - don't insult other users or use swear words. If someone is 'trolling', best not to respond.
- be impartial - best not to decide which drawing is 'good'. Evaluate a drawing by the time spent not your taste.
- no politics - nothing political, specially identity politics. Basically no '..isms', this is a drawing site. (examples: rainbows, pride, swasticas, flags).
- goto drawings - remove penises, suspects (among us), rainbows, single eyes and flags. They aren't creative and should be considered warfare.
- drawsum not writesum - remove writting except if it's part of a design or needed for context.
- censorship - because drawsum now has an app, any drug use / sexual / adult content must be censored (don't delete it neccessarily).
- vandalism - as a general rule, reject drawings on other drawings, expect if they improve them.
- big picture - anything that is visible from maximum zoom should be a good drawing.
- spreaders - drawings that gradually spread (eg. rainbow, vine, etc) are allowed on a case-by-case basis, so discuss with other mods.
- common sense - It's up to you as a mod to decide in the end. often it is easy to know if you should allow a work or not.
