PDParade Rule Update: Copyrighted Characters
Posted 2 years and 10 months ago :: Last edited 2 years and 10 months ago by solarseraphimGood morning, PDParade!
We’re here with a very important update in regards to character creation and designs.
From this day forward, Plush Dragons will no longer be allowing characters who are heavily based on copyrighted characters.
Previously, we didn’t mind characters being inspired, but as things progress and we’ve seen some designs come to light, the decision has been made unanimously to no longer allow these types of designs. It can be a tricky and often slippery slope dealing with designs based on previously existing IPs and characters, and while Plush Dragons is a place of fun and relaxation, we do need to take legal copyrights and such seriously.
What happens to previous designs?
Designs created and approved before the implementation of this rule will be allowed to stay as is, but are closely monitored. Future updates perceived to be too close to the source material will be asked to be changed.
We sincerely hope you all understand where we’re coming from, and extensively appreciate your understanding.
Please note that this has no effect on making a Plush Dragon form of a character that you own!
As always, the staff are available in #help in the discord if you need us!
