Entire Site

You must be 13 years of age or older to register and play on Subeta. This is a non-negotiable age limit and applies even if a parent and/or guardian would be willing to grant permission.

All contests, art and service auctions, etc. must have a clearly-defined set of rules and a solid end date not exceeding three months from the date of the initial post or announcement. Once completed, all prizes or rewards must be distributed within one month; failure to do so will be considered and treated as scamming.

Custom Clothing and Official Custom Pet Overlays drawn by frozen users, or users banned from Custom Clothing may not be submitted to the site.

If the user is allowed to return on a new account after one year, custom content made by them may again be submitted if they are not also permanently banned from Custom Clothing. If they do not return to the site, their art may not be used.

Do not discriminate or display discriminatory actions or behavior on the basis of gender, race, color, ethnicity, disability, religion, or sexual orientation.

Subeta is not responsible for disputes involving tangible goods or currency. We recommend purchasing optional shipping insurance and tracking to ensure that items are sent and received. Disputes involving payment should be taken up with the company involved in the transaction or a competent lawyer. Use your best judgement when making purchases online.

Do not abuse glitches on the site. If you accidentally abuse a glitch, submit a support ticket stating exactly what happened. If you received an extra item from a glitch, delete it immediately and inform staff via ticket.

Do not abuse the trade system by posting NFS/NFT lots, items you refuse to actually sell or trade, or posting lots as a method of advertising (including 'buying more of these' lots).

Do NOT attempt to sell or trade Subeta currency, items or pets for off-site currency or items, or real-life currency or items. The only thing this does not include is artwork purchased on Subeta itself.

NOTE ON CUSTOM ITEMS: While the art for custom wearables may be commissioned onsite for USD, the items themselves still fall under the jurisdiction of this rule.

Do NOT attempt to sell or trade pets for sP, items, other pets, off-site currency or items, or real-life currency or items.

Do NOT attempt to sell or trade usernames or petnames for sP, items, other usernames or petnames, off-site currency or items, or real-life currency or items.

The use of 'fake pets' on user/pet profiles, whether you state that they are fake or not, is not allowed. This means that you cannot display pets that are NOT owned by you on-site and/or claim ownership of a pet that you don't actually own. To further clarify, some users have taken to covering up their pet profiles with a custom one using 'fake' pet images and false information about their pets, as well as using pet profiles with links/images to other users' pet profiles and trying to pass them off as their own. This is not allowed as it misrepresents the true owner, creates confusion amongst other users, and unfairly claims another user's hard work.

Each user is allowed to play on/access one account and one account only. Do not create multiple accounts for any reason whatsoever, even if your previous account(s) has been self-frozen or frozen by staff. Frozen users may still access the Ticket Center and should use it to request unfreezings. Self-frozen users may unfreeze with the click of a button and do not need to submit tickets. If you have lost any part of your login information, including username, please email us at support@subeta.net.

Do not transmit or facilitate distribution of content that is harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, vulgar, sexually explicit, defamatory, infringing, discriminatory, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, or in a reasonable person's view, objectionable. Hate speech is not tolerated.

Do not improperly use the in game complaint forms or make false reports to Subeta staff members.

Do not promote or encourage any illegal activity, including but not limited to, illegal drug use, hacking, cracking or distribution of counterfeit/pirated software or music.

You are allowed to discuss other pet sites, but promoting another pet site is not permitted. Promoting includes asking for or offering referral links, invites, or otherwise encouraging other users to sign up.

Do not send any unsolicited advertisements to another user via the mail system, comments, forum pings, etc. These include -- but may not necessarily be limited to -- advertisements for shops, forumgroups, items available for sale/trade, and wishlisted items.

Do not steal coding, art, or other copyrighted/trademarked content from any source, or attempt to redistribute such content. This can include, but is not limited to, manipulations or derivations of art, images, coding, literary works, etc. not wholly created by you. This includes AI-generated content.

Subeta's forums, shoutbox, news comments, and profile comments are restricted to English only. This is not to inconvenience our international players, but to ensure that the site remains safe and appropriate at all times.

Do not use external software to gain an advantage over other users. This includes the use of ANY tool that plays the site for you (including but not limited to software, scripts, macros, etc.)

Forum images and signatures cannot exceed 450px in width and 325px in height, COMBINED. This includes all images, links, any text added in the signature, and regardless of images being left or right aligned.

Any text added in the signature counts as 10px height per line. So be sure to include that in when calculating the height of your forum image and signature.

Please note that the forum signature size preview on the Forum Options page is intended as a general guideline only, and is not 100% accurate at all times.

Animated images must be no larger than 5MB.

NOTE: This is not a freezable offense, however, if you receive three Official Warnings for oversized Forum Image/Signature, you will be banned from using this feature.

Do not post images or URLs that exceed the current limit of 325 pixels in height or 450 pixels in width. Animations must be no larger than 5MB. If you wish to post a large image or URL which exceeds these limits, you must link to it using sCode. Any content found to be in violation of this rule will be cleared or edited by a member of staff.

If you feel harassed by another user, you can block them here.

When you block a user, it will prevent them from:

• sMailing you
• Commenting on your profile
• Sending you items
• Sending gifts or presents
• Offering on Trades
• Viewing your profile/userlookup
• Viewing your forum posts
• Viewing your news comments
• Appearing in your Shoutbox feed

Do not post, transmit, discuss, distribute, or otherwise promote content that is illegal, including but not limited to, hacking, cracking or distribution of counterfeit/pirated software or music.

You may not impersonate another person (including celebrities), indicate that you are a Subeta staff member or a representative of Subeta, or attempt to mislead users by indicating that you represent Subeta or any of Subeta's partners or affiliates.

Do not create or adopt pets or name minions with inappropriate names. This includes -- but is not limited to -- names containing or intending to represent swear words, sexually explicit words or topics, or hate speech. We reserve the right to change, without notice, the name of any pet and minion that is in violation of our site rules. If you attempt to use a name which might be considered explicit or objectionable, it is at your own risk, and may result in repercussions to be left at staff discretion.

Do not name shops/galleries with inappropriate names. This includes -- but is not limited to -- names containing or intending to represent swear words, sexually explicit words or topics, or hate speech. We reserve the right to change, without notice, the name of any shop/gallery that is in violation of our site rules. If you attempt to use a name which might be considered explicit or objectionable, it is at your own risk, and may result in repercussions to be left at staff discretion.

While Subeta takes a lenient stance on the use of mature language, intentional evasion of user-end filters (via creative spelling, using it in an image where it cannot be filtered, or other such measures) or the direction of foul language at other members will not be tolerated. We ask that its use, if any, be reasonable. Pets, minions, forum/ping groups, shop names, and gallery names may not use such language. If you attempt to use a name which might be considered explicit or objectionable, it is at your own risk, and may result in repercussions to be left at staff discretion.

Please do not disclose any details about the Mysterious Melody program that could ruin the surprise. This includes what your MM gave you, what you gave your MM, when gifting is occurring, or any other information along the same vein.

Do not ask other users to give you items, pets, sP, or services unless they have offered it as a gift or part of a giveaway. This includes requesting tips.

Do not request or offer help/answers for Subeta games or puzzles, including but not necessarily limited to Item Identifier, Item Scramble, and Bones.

Homework help also has limitations: you may request or offer assistance with homework, but cheating is strictly prohibited.

Do not discuss or mention frozen users.

Do not attempt to cheat, scam, or otherwise mislead other users in any way by posting fake "floating item" events like goodie bags, balloons, masks, etc. anywhere on the site. This includes forumsets, signatures, profiles, billboards, and all other areas.

Do not SPAM. This includes:

Do not ask for pet spotlight nominations. Any threads created asking for nominations will be locked. Asking for nominations in the shoutbox could result in a temporary ban from the shoutbox.

Physical and Digital re-creations of official Subeta art MUST be sold on-site. Do not attempt to sell these items offsite.

Wherever possible, do NOT forget to mark boards or site areas containing sexual or graphic content with a warning; in the forums, this warning needs to be in the thread title. (IE: "Mature content".) And remember, there ARE limits as to how much we will allow. Subeta is PG-13!

If you access Subeta from multiple computers, share a computer with other Subeta members, or share an internet connection or network access with other Subeta members, do not post "notes to staff" in your profile; these are not checked and, if found by a member of staff, will be cleared. Please notify staff by submitting a support ticket via the Ticket Center, and be sure to include usernames and their relationship with you if possible. In addition to this, you should limit gifting and "one-way" trades between accounts on shared computers, connections, and networks to prevent confusion.

Each individual user is allowed to access and/or play on one account and one account only, regardless of circumstances. Account sharing in any way, shape, or form is prohibited except when neither party accesses or plays on any other accounts (i.e., if one account is shared by two people and neither of them has their own account in addition to the one they share.)

Please keep in mind that while this exception is permitted, we strongly advise against it. Account sharing is done at your own risk and the staff cannot assist you if the co-owner(s) changes the password, pounds pets, gets the account frozen, etc.

An account will be frozen if it is shared with another Subeta member in any way, including self-frozen members and/or staff-frozen members who have not yet completed the mandatory wait time before rejoining. This means you may not do quests, collect free gifts, petsit, apply coding to, etc. any other member's account or allow them to do the same on yours.

Do not attempt to hire artists, programmers, or any sort of staff for your own site.

For the consideration of other members, please do not post spoilers -- including but not limited to Melody's Cottage during Luminaire celebrations -- without appropriate spoiler alerts. In the forums, the notice should be in the thread title if at all possible. Because there is no way to properly notify others of spoilers in the shoutbox, we ask that you refrain from posting them there.

Do not make blacklists or targeting/flaming topics that name any specific user. It is fine to discuss the behavior of another user, but you cannot mention a specific user by username or identify them in an obvious way, blocked or not. This applies to groups as well.

Do not attempt to get a password, other account information, or other private information from a Member or any other user on Subeta. Remember: Subeta staff will NEVER ask for your password. Don't give your password information out to anyone. This doesn't apply to sale and purchase of real items from other Subeta users. If you buy something that needs to be sent via real mail, you must provide the correct shipping address. Please be careful, and if you are uncomfortable providing your address, do not attempt to purchase real items. All real item transactions are at your own risk. Please use common sense and be careful when posting any personal information on the subeta site. Please send your information privately through sMail, rather than posting it publicly.
