Chat Rules:
UK/European Hoofers initially started as a chat for arranging meetups and photoshoots for hoofers in the UK. Since then it has grown to be an active chat for nattering with like-minded furs discussing all sorts of things, hoofed animals being just one of those many things. There are some rules to follow to keep things civil though.
1.) This is a chat for hoofers, meaning discussion here is mainly focused on hoofed fursuits and fursonas. However we’re flexible and welcome you here even if you just love hoofed animals, just be awesome and all will be well!
2.) Keep the discussion strictly Safe For Work. This is a family friendly chat, meaning we allow minors here, so discussions of a naughty nature (kinks and fetishes included) must be taken elsewhere.
3.) Be excellent to each other. Bullying and harassment will absolutely not be tolerated under any circumstances, and discussion of religion and politics should be kept light & respectful.
4.) - No spoilers. This is mostly for nerd/pop culture. Many in chat enjoy Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Star Wars, My Little Pony, Marvel Movies. To name a few! We also love video games, youtubers ect! Please be mindful that we have a chat with many not able to watch things on release for reasons outside of there control, it's not fair to ruin a experience for them. We would ask folks to use common sense on where is appropriate to discuss spoilers (for example, if a movie is over a year old - your pretty safe!) This rule is for relatively new releases. We'll issue warnings/24 hour chat removals for folks who post spoilers.
5.) Yes you may advertise art commissions/ sales / fursuit auctions in this group. It like EVERYTHING else must be safe for work. We would ask you not to post more than once every 24 hours to keep down spam. We would politely request that you also be a active member of the chat who talks too but this is not mandatory!
6.) Folks in the chat are friendly and happy to send cute hoofer gifs if your having a bad day, or going through a rough patch. We shall be supportive and here for you. With that said, we are not therapists and we do not have mental health training. We're happy to help cheer you up but we cannot fix your problems. Excessive constant negativity in chat is something we cannot abide. We try to keep up a positive vibe in chat. We encourage all of our members to reach out and get the help that they need.
7.) All artwork must be credited - even if the artist is yourself. Acceptable credit is the artists name, or a link to there social media / websites. When posting photo's we encourage people where possible to post credit to both the photographer and the subject. We understand it is more difficult to reverse image search photographers, but please make a effort where possible. We have artists in our chat as well as being members of a community/fandom which we self sustain through creatives. We will always do our best to support them and to keep to copyright law. If you do not know the artist or have been unable to source them, please do not post the piece. 'credit to the artist' is not acceptable. We will issue warnings to people repeat offending this rule.
These rules may be subject to change, within reason, at the discretion of the admins. We will announce any such changes as/when they are made, so as to keep the members of the chat up-to-date.
