Using Your Mawmaws:
- Please credit the species when using your mawmaw characters in any art or literature. This isn't a rule so much as it is a courtesy, and we really appreciate it! - Only "approved" mawmaws, or mawmaws that have been registered to the masterlist (MawmawsofMesaya), may be used in group prompts or events. - You may use your mawmaw characters for both canonical and non-canonical stories and settings, meaning that you may include your mawmaw characters in worlds or stories outside of Mesaya! - You may use your mawmaws for SFW and NSFW works, but please respect site rules where you are posting! The official deviantART and Discord Server only allow SFW content. |
Ownership of a Mawmaw:
- You must register your mawmaw to the masterlist in order to have them listed as an "approved" mawmaw. "Approved" mawmaws are considered legitimate characters and can be used like one. - Mawmaws cannot be owned by more than one person or co-owned by multiple people. In order to cut back on ownership disputes, mawmaws may only be registered to the masterlist under one name, and that individual will be the sole owner of a mawmaw. - Mawmaws cannot be owned by anyone on the species' blacklist. This list may be subject to change with time and incident. Please double-check this list before obtaining mawmaws and MYO slots secondhand. - The species creators may revoke the ownership of a mawmaw, but may not take away ownership of the design. We will never take designs from anyone, especially those that were purchased- but we can remove that person/character from the species if need-be. - Beware of bootlegs! We do not honor off-brand mawmaws as official mawmaws, and will not make exceptions to this rule. again, checking the blacklist and masterlist is a good way to avoid this type of issue! - Mawmaws that were formerly uploaded to snepple but are not registered to MawmawsofMesaya must be registered for approval through the Toyhouse page. These characters and slots are not voided, but will not be considered "approved" designs until they are registered! |
Updating a Mawmaw's Design:
- Mawmaw designs that are not registered to the masterlist cannot be redesigned. - You may redesign your mawmaw at any time, and to any degree that falls under the rules of updating a design. This includes tweaking or slightly altering a design to completely overhauling it or replacing the old design with a new one. - If you are redesigning your mawmaw, the type and traits must remain the same unless permission is given beforehand to change them. You can discuss this with the species owners (MillistheDevil or MicroMika) if you would like to alter your mawmaw's traits. - You may remove your mawmaw from the species at any time by voiding them from the masterlist with the character transfers +updates form. Voiding a mawmaw is permanent and cannot be reversed after it's been done! You will have to change your mawmaw's design to no longer resemble the species and will not be allowed to use them in group prompts or events. |
Trading and Selling Mawmaws:
- Mawmaw designs that are not registered to the masterlist cannot be traded, sold, or gifted as a mawmaw. Exchanges with mawmaws that were not uploaded to the masterlist will not be honored without current-day proof. - "Approved" or registered mawmaws may be traded, sold, or gifted to any member not on the species' blacklist. Exchanges with members who are on the blacklist will not be honored. - You do not need permission from the species owners to put your mawmaws up for trade/sale/etc. - The current owner of a mawmaw is responsible for submitting an ownership transfer request through the masterlist if they are sold, traded, or gifted to another person. - You may trade mawmaws for art, characters, merchandise, etc. - You may sell mawmaws for any price; but please be fair with what you ask! - We do not condone the soliciting of others for their mawmaw character designs. Members who are reported to be harassing others for their mawmaws may be blacklisted from the species as a whole. - We do not settle disputes over trades and sales. The species owners will not be held responsible for exchanges between community members and are not obligated to reimburse anyone for an unfair exchange! |
These are the general rules for the entire mawmaw species, laid out for the owners of mawmaw designs and enforced by the species owners and group staff. Failure to abide by these rules may result in temporary bans, purchasing bans, group bans, blacklisting, or complete removal from the species and community, and the removal of characters from the species! Please be sure to follow these rules for the safety and comfort of all group members and staff! These rules may change or see additions in the future depending on what happens in the group, so make sure you check these regularly!
Thank you!
