◌ INTRO

Welcome everyone! In this PSA, I will be break-

ing down section one of our community [guidelines]

in more depth. If you have any have any quest-

tions or concerns regarding what we do or do

not allow on this amino regarding advertising

(may it be other aminos, social media acco-

unts, etc) then please keep reading as all of

that will be covered in this blog.

◌ WHAT IS ADVERTISING?

To is to post promotions (either in

blogs, comments, or messages) for other

people to or follow sources outside

Miraculous Amino (this includes other

aminos).

◌ ADVERTISING THE WRONG WAY

i.

One of the most vital elements of advertising another community is getting permission. Advertising without permission violates section one of our [guidelines]. Blogs advertising other communities will be taken down if permission is not shown. If you come across a blog advertising another community that does not show screenshot proof of permission, please report it immediately along with the link to said post.

In this community, we do not allow s to their communities in chatrooms, public or otherwise. No one will ever receive permission to send out these types of ads. If you receive a message advertising another community or see any in public chatrooms, know that the (or bot) advertising is in violation of our [guidelines] and should be reported immediately with screenshot evidence.

ii.

Posting blogs with the sole intention of advertising other social media s is strictly prohibited on this amino. Unlike ments for other communities, you will not receive permission to create posts exclusively for this purpose. Furthermore, it is still against our [guidelines] to send messages advertising other platforms.

iii.

Regardless of what it is that you are advertising, if the content is inappropriate (such as an explicit community or any NSFW s that you may have), you will not be allowed to share it on our community in any capacity. This includes: in messages, comments, blogs, or in your bios. There will be no exceptions. If you are caught sharing links to any s, websites, or communities that includes anything exceeding a PG-13 rating, your messages, comments, and/or blogs will be disabled (or your profile will be hidden in the case of a bio) and you will be subject to other forms of punishment such as official warnings, strikes, or bans.

iv.

We also do not allow the following form of ments: fundraisers, ‘buy me a coffee’ type posts, coin banks, or any form of advertising that includes the possibility of personal monetary gain. While we do allow commission posts (such as art, writing, or edit commissions) or theme shops, we do not allow s to ask for money and/or coins. If s choose to donate coins on their own accord they may do so through pre-existing wikis or blogs.

v.

As of August 26th, 2019 we do not allow 1x1 roleplay ment posts. If you would like to a roleplay or find potential partners, please look at our roleplay masterlist.

◌ REPERCUSSIONS OF ADVERTISING

i.

Advertising another community without permission will typically result in a strike. In some cases, bans may be applied.

ii.

In the case that a member is advertising other social media s or indulging in other forms of ments, warnings will be applied.

◌ WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU IMPROPERLY ?

i.

As stated above, the repercussions for incorrect advertising are severe, with punishments ranging from immediate strikes to bans. If you are caught advertising another community without permission and you are level 6 or higher, the message(s) and/or blog(s) you’ve posted advertising your community will be taken down and you will receive a strike without warning. As always, if you receive three strikes, your will be permanently banned from our community.

The punishments for advertising differ for s level 6 or under. s level 6 and under will be banned immediately; additionally, if you a community other have been previously banned for advertising, you will be banned as well regardless of your level.

ii.

When advertising other s or anything other than another amino community, we will disable the blog(s) and/or messages in which the ment has taken place. The member will then receive a warning for violating section one of the community [guidelines]. Depending on the amount of previous warnings and/or strikes received, your profile may also be hidden.

◌ THE CORRECT WAY TO

i.

To another community correctly, you must first receive permission to . To receive permission, please message one of the leaders of this community listed here. Curators cannot give permission to ! When messaging a leader, please explain that you are asking permission to your community and link the community in your message. If the leader says yes, you may . If the leader says no, you cannot. All decisions are final; arguing will get you nowhere, so please be respectful regardless of the answer you are given. Please keep in mind that s level 9 or under will not be allowed to to discourage s from creating s in our community exclusively for this purpose.

Once you have received permission, you can in blog form only. Please that advertising in public and private chatrooms, even with a leader’s permission to , violates our [guidelines]. Doing so can and will get you into trouble! You can, however, add links to other communities in your bio. You do not need permission to do this.

When creating your blog post, please add a screenshot of the leader granting you permission. Failure to do so may result in your post being hidden by another leader and curator, so be mindful! You may only create ONE blog to your community. Any duplicates will be taken down and can result in action being taken against you despite prior permission.

ii.

In contrast, we do not allow other types of advertising in blog form, with or without permission. You may add links to other social media s (such as an Instagram , a YouTube , a TikTok , etc.) to your blogs under the circumstances that the blog also includes some form of content (including, but not limited to, posts of fanart, edits, or fanfiction that you’ve created). You may also add links to other social media s to your bio or ‘about me’ type wikis.

iii.

You may make wikis or blogs with the intent to earn money or amino coins through the means of commissions or theme shops.

iv.

Posts advertising group roleplays (such as open roleplays taking place in a public chatroom) may be posted in blog form so long as it follows the rest of our community [guidelines]. As stated before, posts that exclusively 1x1 or closed group roleplays (that are no longer accepting and occurring in a private chatroom) are to only be posted in the comments section of our roleplay masterlist.

◌ BENEFITS OF PROPER ADVERTISING

i.

When you correctly, you do not have to worry about receiving any of the possible repercussions of incorrect advertising. Your blog will find its way onto the feed of our many active, wonderful that might be interested in ing your amino! It is more beneficial to this way as the ads have the potential to reach more people and therefore the chances of new ing your community increase exponentially.

ii.

For other types of ments, the benefits of advertising correctly still greatly outweighs the costs of doing so incorrectly. Your posts will remain intact and the possibility of receiving a warning, strike, or having your profile hidden is diminished. Your posts will also receive more attention this way. You will reap all the rewards without having to worry about any of the punishments.

◌ WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU’VE D INCORRECTLY BEFORE & ASK FOR PERMISSION NOW?

In the scenario that a member is asking for permission to their community but has previously received strikes or been banned for incorrectly advertising will almost always be turned down.

◌ OUTRO
