Hello all!
We have been working very hard with our Design Approval Team on making some updates to the design rules as well as the design punishments. Please note the following updates beginning TODAY.
First of all, everyone should note that all new designs need approval prior to posting in a shop by our Design Approval Team. If you are unsure where to get this approval, it is in this group: http://www.tengaged.com/group/7974
We ask that you please respect our Design Approval Team. If they mail you concerning a design, please respond to them as you would to a Moderator. If there is an issue with something they have mailed, please bring it to us, do not argue with them as they are just working to keep the designing game fair for all.
RULES:
1. You can create any of the following items, as designated by the active categories:
- Clothing
- Eyes
- Mouth
****NEW RULE*****
Mouthpieces/Masks are now permitted in the "Mouth" Category. The design can not cover more than 50% of the face and MUST be placed over the mouth.
- Necklaces (necklaces are ONLY permitted in this category - they cannot be part of a clothing design. Scarves CAN be posted in this category but may also be posted as part of a clothing design.)
- Tattoos, scars and body art.
- Glasses
- Hair
- Hair accessories (hat, headband, bandana ...)
*****NEW RULE*****
-You are now permitted a small amount of blue in your designs. Covering an arm, or a small amount on the sides of the avatar will be permitted, however you are still not permitted to cover the entire avatar. ALL DESIGNS CONTAINING BLUE MUST BE APPROVED BY OUR DESIGN APPROVAL TEAM.
2. Masks - don't fit into an existing category and therefore aren't allowed, BUT you can get around this a couple of ways:
- Put them into the tattoo/scar category - they can be "body art."
- If they stay on the top half of the face, you can put them in as glasses. If you do this, please make sure you have eye holes.
*****NEW RULE****
-Mouthpieces/Masks are now permitted in the "Mouth" Category. The design can not cover more than 50% of the face and MUST be placed over the mouth.
3. Backgrounds and items floating around in the background or detached from the avatar are still not allowed.
4. *****NEW RULE*****
-You are now permitted a small amount of blue in your designs. Covering an arm, or a small amount on the sides of the avatar will be permitted, however you are still not permitted to cover the entire avatar. ALL DESIGNS CONTAINING BLUE MUST BE APPROVED BY OUR DESIGN APPROVAL TEAM.
5. Designs with more than one item: These still aren't allowed (e.g., clothes + hair, hair + hat, etc)
Only exceptions:
- Hair with SMALL accessories such as ribbons and headbands that couldn't stand alone.
- Clothing containing extensions of arms http://www.tengaged.com.br/design/id-26809/natal-roupa-com-anel
- Random items like a pet on the avatar's shoulder or accessories such as sword can be attached to clothing items - http://www.tengaged.com.br/shop/our-teenage-dream_1142
6. Stealing Designs: Post designs without permission from the owner is COMPLETELY PROHIBITED and will result in a ban on first offense. Get permission in a Tengaged message and save it so you can provide it to moderation staff in case of any confusion.
7. Scarves can be posted individually as necklaces OR as part of the clothing design.
8. Punishments for illegal designs have been updated Read our profile for details: www.tengaged.com/user/Tengaged_Moderation
10. Questions? Ask before you post!
PUNISHMENTS:
10. Stealing designs -
We will do our best to protect the creative property of our users, but we suggest that you keep originals of your designs and other proof that you created it. If you've been given a design to post that is created by another user, make sure you get them to give you permission via a message ON TENGAGED (not skype) so you can produce it later if someone claims that you stole the design. May be extended if multiple offenses of illegal and stolen designs occur. If there is proof of design theft, the following are the punishments.
First offense = Removal of stolen design (and loss of all income/stock from it if it's in a shop) + 3-day blacklist + one-day ban. Second offense = Removal of stolen design (and loss of all income/stock from it if it's in a shop) + 7-day blacklist + 3 day ban. Third offense = Removal of stolen design (and loss of all income/stock from it if it's in a shop) + 7-day blacklist + 1 week ban.
11. Illegal designs -
(Note - we may not catch them all in the design labs, but we will in the Shop Game, so this is where our focus will be.)
SEE RULES: http://www.tengaged.com/blog/Tengaged_Moderation/1060096/new-design-rules
If you post a design and it is removed, do not repost that design unless you've contacted us and gotten approval. Illegal designs include those that are in the wrong category or more than 1 design in the post.
1st offense-Removal of design + 1 day ban
2nd offense-Removal of design + 3 day ban + 7 day blacklist
Repeated offenses may result in long-term removal of access to the shop game, not allowing your shop to move on to the next week, or even bans.
Clear deliberate attempts to ignore the design rules or post without permission to bypass rules will result in a one-week blacklist.
11A. Designs that are obviously illegal, such as designs covering the whole avatar area, will not be permitted. Any designs posted before 4/19/2014 will be, for the most part, accepted unless it was already otherwise noted.
If you post such a design in shops the design will be removed, all profit will be lost and you will receive a one week ban. If you are seen wearing that design you will be asked to remove it within a certain time period. If you fail to follow through you will receive a blacklist until you email us saying you are ready to remove the design.
Posting of these types of designs will result in the following:
1st offense: Removal of all profit, 1 week ban +2 week blacklist + 3 month shop ban
2nd offense: Removal of all profit, 2 week ban +4 week blacklist + 6 month shop ban
3rd offense: Removal of all profit, 2 week ban +4 week blacklist + permanent shop ban
I was expecting new categories, etc.

smh guys...seriously i love tengaged, and w/o it i would be really bored sometimes, so stop complaining and realize this is one of the best sites on the internet :)
Can you have things in your hand in arm designs? Example can have arm design where its holding can of pop or does it have to be just an arm and no objects in the hand?
.es has no rules, it appears - they're full of stolen designs and there don't seem to be ANY standards.

Don't see why some things aren't allowed to be honest, I'm not bothered about designs but stuff like rule 4 just seems to be a rule against making the avatars look interesting.
well, and wich is the meaning of standars, if you apply them according to your relationship with players? you have much for learning from this blog, and Tengaged_Moderation´s work
