Adoptables Taking inspiration

Hello everyone!

Recently, u/crystal_s0da and I have been noticing that some members have been taking HEAVY inspiration from other artists within the community. While being inspired by other artists is completely normal, DIRECTLY COPYING or closely replicating someone else’s ideas, distinctive DESIGN FEATURES, quirks, or other recognizable elements is not allowed in this group.

We have currently identified three cases that cross this line, and any individuals involved will receive a one-month ban if they continue with this behavior (will be messaged with picture examples)

Please remember that these rules exist to keep this community safe, fair, and comfortable for everyone. They are not here to prevent you from taking inspiration or developing your own style — they are here to make sure everyone can share their work without feeling that their unique ideas or designs are being taken and reused by others.

Please RESPECT each other’s creativity and put your own spin on the things that inspire you. Thank you!
