Livestream guidelines and times.
13 years ago
Always open for commissions. Stream:http://piczel.tv/watch/Foxena
I don't like to get all nitpicky with stuff, i really don't but lately things have gotten out of hand on LS and I honestly need to make this list ALOT of this was borrowed from 
genesisw and used with her permission of sorts. (though she expressed I didn't need it perse)
I livestream art EVERY DAY except fridays (usually if im not having a vacation or a family emergency) from 7pm EST(EDT) towhenever-I-am-ready-to-fall-asleep-at-my-keyboard 1-2 am ish EST/EDT.
Considerations inthe future will be taken if there is enough clamour from my european watchers to have a midday stream on thursdays from 12 noon to 6 pm depending.
1. We're all mostly adults in channel, but the moment you get crude I will tell you to stop. There are children and ladies in the channel and if you don't know how to behave in front of them then get off livestream and go enroll yourself in geek charm school. You'll get much farther in life.
2. I am not a roleplay channel or a random IRC chat room. My basic guideline is that if your conversation could happen privately elsewhere then take it elsewhere. I feel narcissistic for saying it but the truth is the stream is about me and my art. If I get the feeling from your behavior that you don;t really give a flip about either then I'll ask you to move on.
3. Do not spam. Please take a moment to think about what you type instead of spewing disjointed sentences. We get thirty people a night and if half the chat is you talking then you need to tone it down a little.
4. HORMEL'S LAW IS NOT TO SHIELD YOU FROM A PERSONAL TRAUMA. My channel is blessed in that we can talk about religion and politics and current events and keep things relatively civil. You do not demand a topic end because you personally dislike it. I really hate derailing what might be an interesting discussion because one person has a trauma. We call "bacon" on a topic when tempers look like they're starting to rise and when people are starting to take things personally. NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE OFFENDED BY TALK OF POLITICS OR RELIGION OR PET KITTENS.
5. I am not a counseling service or a crisis center. If you have an honest to goodness physical or emotional problem, then go get help. Don't dive into my stream and demand everyone stop and play psychologist. Yes, we might and often do have advice to give, but constantly derailing things because you're depressed is bad form. If you're truly depressed then go see a therapist, not a 27 year old cartoonist. Leastwise the therapist probably has better drugs than I do.
6. Links cannot be shared without permission of me or my mods. I am honestly geting tired of people who are derailing the conversation to say "hey look at my art" or "hey look at this cute video". If its not relevant and more or less self serving DON'T DO IT. If you want artistic advice from me, SIGN UP FOR MY ARTCLASSES. Grandstanding in my channel is not going to get on my good side.
7. The final ruling on behavior goes to me. I'm very lenient, but if I have to keep telling someone to shut up or tone it down then eventually I'm just going to kick them out the door. The reason why I never like to post specific rules or guidelines is because all that does is give people loopholes to consider. But really, if I think you're acting like a peenwhack and I feel you should know better, I shouldn't have to take you to the chalkboard like a child and tell you what rule you broke. So general guideline, if you can't act like a civil human being, then don't come to my livestream.

... All I can say is kinda ewww... At the folks who forced you to get to this point...
Fox? How about getting someone as a moderator (actually a few to insure there are no individual scheduling issues)?
I think Gen has someone (or did at some point). I KNOW Kayla-na (aka: Melthehybrid) does too.
Nice thing about having a moderator is they can follow your guidelines and temporarily or permanently ban those who can't be civil.
Just a thought.
Thing to look for in a mod:
People who aren't yes men or women. A good mod will remind you PRIVATELY that you yourself might be out of line but fairly so.
People who DO NOT have a history of a bad temperament. You want a mod who is level headed and can judge things fairly and reasonably.
People who get trigger happy with the ban button. When your mods start looking forward to hitting that button like its a rite of passage is when you need to sit them down and explain that banning people shouldn't be something to look forward to. It's a punishment with implications if done improperly. If you think a mod Is going to brag about getting to use it odds are keeping them in that position is going to be more trouble than they're worth.
Sorry that children aren't behaving. You shouldn't have to play nanna/moderator/kindergarten cop/rules lawyer in stream. Might be time to just bust out the ban blazer and go Judge Dredd
On ppl.you screw up, instant judgement.
I still know a few old school Nuns who can wield yardsticks more
Dangerously than a samurai, I can call them in for ya if ya like.
And art classes? Plz tell me more. Like when, cost, materials/media.
Or was that just sarcasm?
Good luck
Would be cool to do one on one or small group. Throw me in as a ultra
Newb beginner tho, at least for digital purposes.
now all i need is a tablet and then sign up to your class =.=;;
Fan Art ?
If it weren't for your commissioners you wouldn't be anybody. People can gladly get art from someone who isn't so high on their pedestal and for cheaper prices.
No disrespect, just pointing this out.

im going to be honest, i've never seen your work, i just saw your subbmission saying you are streaming so i thought i'd give this a quick read before i joined and watched so i know what behaviour you tolerate *i can be very over the top and crude, so good thing i did read, not very lady like of me.. i know but lol* but any artist spoken to like that no matter how 'popular' or 'unpopular' they are, at the end of the day if you are watching anything from a live stream to just general chat about their work, it is ALWAYS going to be ALL about the artist. nothing to do with being "high on their pedestal" if it is their work, their art, their time and their effort they are putting in, the artist deserves to be a bit vain.
i can easily see why you banned Soapy haha
If catering to people like you means I have to put up with verbal abuse and bullshit, yeah no thanks. The people you describe as "immature furries" interested in lol yiff yiff hump hump. Why on EARTH would I want them running wild in a commission stream where I'm trying to work. I'll be reporting you, and ShaolinFurry for continued Harassment, however.
