Please determine if your post will add to our goals as follows:

• The Daz 3D forums and galleries should be a destination for learning, conversation, and helping others

• This should be a fun and positive place to communicate

• A place of learning and sharing

• A place to go for help in learning new techniques

• Communicate and discuss ideas in a positive non-threatening way

These forums and galleries exist in order to help facilitate the discussion, learning, teaching, creation of as well as displaying of digital art and animation. This is accomplished by fostering a community where each member helps another to learn various techniques for 3D modeling, texturing, posing, animating, and postwork. Everything that helps the community realize these objectives is welcome. Constructive discussion, both critical and sympathetic, pertaining to these objectives is encouraged. Anything that is degrading or otherwise harmful to such an environment is strictly prohibited.

Here are a few examples of how these objectives may be accomplished:

• Discussing art and animation

• Giving and receiving support for questions related to products and their use

• Exchanging tips and techniques

• Announcements of product fixes and updates

• Tutorials

• Product suggestions and sishlists

• Announcements by Daz Staff

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Daz Gallery, Website, and Forums. By posting or engaging on our platform, you agree to comply with these guidelines.

1. Community Standards

   • Respect and Courtesy:

     Treat fellow artists, viewers, moderators, administrators, and staff with respect. Personal attacks, harassment, or language intended to incite hostility will not be tolerated. Critiques should focus on the artwork rather than the individual.

   • Constructive Engagement:

     We encourage thoughtful discussion and feedback that supports artistic growth. Content designed solely to shock or provoke negative reactions may be removed.

   • Professional Environment:

     This platform is dedicated to showcasing art. Please refrain from posting content that resembles advertising, spamming, or any behavior that undermines a professional community atmosphere.

2. Content and Posting Guidelines

   1. Submission Guidelines

      • Artistic Focus:

        All submissions must represent creative, original artwork. When referencing products or tools, ensure that they support the artistic focus rather than serve as advertisements.

      • Prohibited Content:

        To maintain a safe and welcoming space, the following content is not permitted:

        • Explicit Sexual Content and Nudity:

          Details on this type of content are explained in section 3.A below.

        • Violence and Graphic Content:

          Artistic depictions that focus on gratuitous violence, extreme gore, self-harm, murder, execution, and other depictions of brutality are not permitted. While some portrayals of conflict or tension may be acceptable in a thoughtful artistic context, works that cross into sensationalism may be removed to maintain a respectful and inclusive environment.

        • Offensive or Hate Content:

          Content that includes hate speech, derogatory language, or imagery targeting individuals or groups based on race, gender, politics, religion, or other characteristics is not allowed.

        • Illegal or Inappropriate Depictions:

          Any material that encourages or depicts illegal activities, abuse, exploitation, or harmful behavior is forbidden.

        • Sensitive Depictions Involving Minors:

          Images featuring minors are subject to heightened review and moderation to ensure that all portrayals are respectful and appropriate for all ages.

        • Copyright and Originality:

          Only submit artwork that you have created or for which you hold the necessary rights. Fan art is welcome provided that it respects the intellectual property rights of the original creators. Any submission that infringes on copyrights or trademarks will be removed.

      • Professional Environment:

        This platform is dedicated to showcasing art. Please refrain from posting content that resembles advertising, spamming, or any behavior that undermines a professional community atmosphere.

   2. Forum Posting Guidelines

      • Respectful Communication:

        Harassing or attacking any member, moderator, administrator, or staff is prohibited.

      • Unauthorized Content:

        We respect the intellectual property rights of creators in our community. References to, or distribution of, pirated or stolen materials will result in immediate action—including warnings, suspension, or a ban—and may involve legal proceedings.

      • Streamlined Discussions:

        To maintain clarity, multiple posts regarding the same product or topic will be consolidated. Duplicate content may be locked or removed to reduce clutter.

      • Thread Management:

        Threads that are artificially "bumped" to remain at the top of the forum will be locked. Off-topic threads may be moved, modified, or split at the discretion of the moderators.

      • Communication Protocol:

        Emails or private messages (PMs) should be posted only by the original sender, or by the intended recipient if the content has been explicitly approved for public sharing. This policy also applies to communications from our staff or external contacts.

      • Thread Titles:

        Thread titles must not include pricing, discount details, or any numerical/symbolic references.

      • Artistic Content Only:

        Our Gallery and Forum are dedicated to showcasing artistic work—not product advertisements. Images resembling product shots may be removed at our discretion. However, listing the products used in creating the artwork is acceptable and encouraged; active links will be provided only for products available through our official website.

3. Mature Content Policy

   1. Prohibition of Sexually Explicit or Suggestive Content

      • Explicit Sexual Content:

        Artwork that includes

        • Full or Partial Nudity:

          Depictions that highlight sexual features or are intended primarily to arouse.

        • Sexual Acts:

          Representations of explicit sexual behaviors or explicit displays of sexual organs.

      • Sexually Suggestive Content:

        Even without full nudity, content may be considered sexually suggestive if it:

        • Emphasizes provocative poses or compositions designed to titillate

        • Objectifies individuals by focusing on specific body parts or sexualized gestures.

        • Blurs the line between artistic expression and content intended primarily for arousal.

   2. Moderation of Mature Content

      • Review Process:

        Our moderation team evaluates submissions considering these guidelines, overall context, artistic merit, and the potential impact on our diverse audience.

      • Immediate Removal:

        Any work that is clearly explicit or crosses into being sexually provocative—without sufficient artistic or educational context—will be removed.

      • Feedback and Appeals:

        If you believe a submission was mistakenly removed, please contact our support team for review. Please understand that the decisions resulting from such review are final and not subject to further appeal.

4. Moderation, Disclosure, and Enforcement

   • Content Disclaimer:

     All images and posts reflect the views of their creators. Daz is not liable for any user-generated content.

   • Monitoring:

     While we strive to maintain a professional and respectful environment, we cannot monitor every post. Our team reserves the right to review, remove, or edit any content that does not comply with these guidelines—without prior notice.

   • Reporting Violations:

     If you notice any content that violates these Terms, please report it using our designated channels. Repeated or severe violations may lead to removal of content and suspension or termination of posting privileges.

     By posting to our gallery or forums, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

   • Respect for Intellectual Property:

     You are responsible for ensuring that your artwork does not violate the intellectual property rights of others. Any infringement of copyrights, trademarks, or other rights is grounds for immediate removal.

   • Reporting Requirements:

     When user-generated content may violate legal standards or is linked to unlawful activities, we will fulfill our reporting obligations by notifying the appropriate authorities.

   • Cooperation with Law Enforcement:

     When necessary, we reserve the right to cooperate with law enforcement and regulatory agencies, including disclosing relevant information as required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our community.

Thank you for contributing to a creative, respectful, and professional artistic community at Daz.

The following rules are being enforced to avoid a level of commercial advertising in the forums which would constitute interference with the stated purpose of the forums. The following rules also apply to Work In Progress (WIP) threads.

• Commercial threads are permitted only for products that are being sold through Daz 3D, or in the case of Work In Progress thread products that are being created by Daz PAs with the intention that they will be sold through Daz 3D.

• Threads that point or link to items in other stores are deemed to be Commercial Posts and will be removed.

• Daz PAs may create one Commercial Thread in either The Commons OR the application-specific subforum.

• As a courtesy to other merchants please do not use someone else’s promotional thread to promote another product.

• Commercial threads must be posted by the Package creator or one of the creators for multi-vendor packages.

• Merchants may post a maximum of 1 commercial thread per week, with two instances of that thread permitted as noted above in bullet point 3.

• Commercial threads may be started only for New Products or Products that are newly on sale.

• A commercial thread may cover multiple items so long as those items are released at the same time or mentioned in the original post within 24 hours.

• Threads that constitute a Work in Progress for a commercial product count as Commercial threads.

• The subject lines/titles of a commercial thread may not contain prices or discount amounts. This covers numerical, symbolic, and explicit references.

• Any commercial thread which repeatedly returns to the first page of the Commons for more than a month may be locked at Daz’s sole discretion.

The Management of Daz 3D and its subsidiaries reserve the right to make exceptions if they deem fit. Those who would like to promote their content in any way beyond what is outlined in these rules may wish to consider contacting Daz 3D for other consideration.

By using our site to download files from, you agree and affirm that you do so at your own risk and that you indemnify Daz 3D against any liability whatsoever. While we will review links, sample submissions, and occasionally test downloads, we ask, for your own safety, that you take precautions.

Anyone that participates in the following actions will be dealt with legally and all appropriate measures taken:

• Anyone caught posting a link to any file containing a virus, Trojan, or other harmful payloads.

• Anyone caught posting a link that leads a member to pornography (i.e.: ‘porn spam’), or any other sort of questionable material, whether a download or website.

• Anyone attempting to “hack” or otherwise disrupt the normal functioning of this forum.

• Non-working links (i.e. “dead links”) will be removed when found, or by request. We will wait up to 72 hours before deletion to account for periodic outages and server downtimes.

• We ask that your creation not infringe upon the copyrights of others. Infringements will be removed and the offense remedied as circumstances warrant. This includes, but is not limited to: characters, textures, meshes, and/or items that contain any 3rd party data that is trademarked, patented, or copyrighted to other corporations. All copyright-related complaints will be considered and should be reported with all relevant information. Please see Daz 3D Copyright Policy to send notice to Daz 3D of alleged copyright infringement.

Here is an outline of the chain of events that we will follow towards making corrections within the forum:

• An official warning is given to all parties involved. These warnings will be logged, but they will be kept away from public view.

• If the official warning is ignored, or the problem recurs from the same member, then the member will have all forum privileges suspended (for an undetermined period of time).

• Anyone violating the Forum Guidelines after reinstatement from suspension will be banned outright, including all known “clone” accounts of the person being banned.

• Further legal action will be taken as deemed necessary by Daz 3D.

Moderators will actively remedy any situations that arise that conflict with these Terms of Service. If you have any questions or concerns about moderator actions please open a support ticket or contact the moderation team at dazforummod@daz3d.com. Do not make a forum post on the issue as it will be removed.

Specifics actions which will be taken include, but are not limited to:

• Deletion and/or locking of all posts or threads where any illegal activity (such as Warez requests), posting of inappropriate materials, or copyright issues is apparent.

• Locking or deletion of threads that are considered ‘spam’. Spam consists of creating multiple threads in different places pertaining to the same subject matter.

• Deletion or locking or posts or threads that are deemed to contain personal attacks on an individual or organization. This is a matter of subjectivity and is determined by the Daz Forum Team and/or Daz Staff.

• Deletion of posts or threads if any personal information (such as email address, credit card info, home address, telephone/fax number, etc.) or site mail is disclosed or published without the permission of the sender.

• Deletion or locking of posts or threads involving copyright accusations. Any such copyright issues need to be categorically proven and resolved between the two parties before any public discussion on the situation occurs.

• Deletion, locking, or editing of any posts or threads that are not properly flagged for content.
