The following document outlines the Nyaanpons website Terms of Service. Before using this website, you must read, understand, and agree to these terms.

Please note that these terms extend to all official platforms for Nyaanpons, including the Toyhouse world, the Discord, and any Nyaanpons-related social media and its posts. By accessing the site or Discord, viewing any content, or using any services available on the site, you are agreeing to be bound by these terms. Failure to abide by these terms may result in a warning, a ban from the Nyaanpons group, and/or termination of the account on the Nyaanpons website, depending on the severity of the situation. If you do not accept all of the Nyaanpons group’s rules, refrain from interacting with the Nyaanpons species and participating in any events.

Nyaanpons and all other Nyaanpons species characters are a closed species belonging to Kitty Kibbles; you cannot make personal characters or species adoptables of them (free, paid, or otherwise) without permission.

The base framework of the Nyaanpons.site website is based on the openly available Lorekeeper ARPG Masterlist. We do not claim ownership of this framework, nor claim creatorship. All other content found on this website, including artwork, writing, etc. belongs to the Nyaanpons species group, unless stated otherwise.

These terms are subject to updates and changes, so it is important to check them often.

The Nyaanpons species and world  is owned by  Kitty Kibbles

 

Membership and user conduct

 

 

USER BEHAVIOUR

Users are expected to be kind and respectful to other members and staff. The Nyaanpons community is not a place for venting, ranting, or overt negativity. Please do not bring up any topics that may be harmful or upsetting to others.

Participation in our official discord is a privilege and not a right. Discord participation is also not required in order to obtain or own any Nyaanpons.site characters.

The following conduct violates our guidelines and would be subject to warnings, strikes, or bans, depending on the severity of the situation:

• Perpetuating pedophillia, zoophilia, racism, nazism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and any other hateful remarks inside or outside of the group. Bigots are not welcome in our community.
  
  

• Being rude to, bullying, or harassing anyone for any reason. If a user is problematic or causing issues, please contact a staff member and allow us to deal with it rather than harassing them.
  
  

• Name-dropping or publicly gossiping about an individual(or group), even if not present, to stir up drama.
  
  

• Guilt tripping, whining, or complaining about adoptable or artwork prices. Do not beg, guilt, or harass people to try and gain characters, items, currency, or artwork. Nyaanpons.site characters are an artist-made luxury item, not a necessity.
  
  

• Harassing another user to sell or trade their Nyaanpons.site character(s) to you when they are not explicitly put up for sale or trade offers. If a character is not listed for sale or trade, please do not contact the owner to ask if you can purchase or trade to obtain them.
  
  

• Creating off-brand Nyaanpons.site characters to sell, or copying an existing Nyaanpons.site character’s design & selling it as a different species.
  
  

• Scamming another user by attempting to sell or trade a character that does not belong to you, or accepting money but not transferring the design to the buyer.
  
  

While we encourage members to voice their opinions and highly appreciate suggestions, we also have to consider the wellbeing of our moderators and other members. When topics are often and excessively discussed, our small moderator team might not always be ready to fully divert their attention to the discussion at hand and quickly form a comprehensive and accurate response. Therefore, we might ask members to temporarily drop a topic if we feel like the discussion is getting out of hand, is too much for the available mod(s) to handle, or is overtly nitpicky or inconsiderate. In this case, the moderators will always discuss the topic as soon as possible with the full team and make a public announcement in response. Once a moderator asks for a topic to be dropped and discussed later, it must be dropped immediately without any ‘last words’ added in. Ignoring this will result in a warning.

Suggestions and critique are welcome, as long as it’s constructive and civil - we will not tolerate hateful or cruel messages directed towards members or the mod team. If suggestions or criticism devolve into name-calling or bad faith arguments towards the mods, warnings will be given out to all involved.

 

 

WEBSITE & SPECIES CONTENT

The Nyaanpons group as a whole is PG-13, and therefore may feature some NSFW(non sexual) themes and topics such as gore, body horror, alcohol and drug mentions, and other possibly triggering content. We will always add a censor/spoiler and tag content with appropriate content warnings to make sure members are aware of their subject matter. This includes the website, our Discord, and our social media, when applicable. If a user decides to engage with any NSFW(non sexual) content put out by the official group or a member of the group, they are doing so at their own discretion. We will never force anyone to produce, engage in, or discuss any NSFW topics, as these will mainly be included in individual character designs, lore, and some on-site assets. 

Members are not allowed to create sexual NSFW content with their own Nyaanpons, even in anthro form. It is strictly forbidden to create sexual content of Nyaanpons in their feral animal form, and doing so will result in a ban.

NSFW(non sexual) content must be posted with any applicable content warnings, as well as a spoiler/censor. Before publicly posting any NSFW(non sexual) creations in our Discord, it is important to evaluate the extent of the NSFW topics in the piece. If your piece only includes minor NSFW topics like a small amount of blood, cartoonish depictions of organs, minor body horror, or drug/alcohol use, the image may be posted in public art areas as long as there is an accompanying message that describes the specific content warning, and a spoiler applied to the image. Any creations that are more severely NSFW than previously mentioned may not be posted anywhere in Nyaanpons group. For more information, refer to our visual guide below for examples.

 

PG-FRIENDLY

This is community-friendly content that can be posted anywhere without warnings.

• Scars

• Bones

• Cleanly/healed amputated limbs

• Stuffing spills

• Robotic 

• Cartoony organs (inside body only)

(visual guide here)

 

 

LIGHT CONTENT WARNING

This content can be posted in regular chats by spoilering and adding a content warning. If you aren’t sure if your art or character falls under this category, ask a mod to judge by opening a ticket. 

• Biology book grade/detailed organs

• Organs spill(even cartoony)

• Blood splotches

• Phobia content

• Minor body horror

• Bugs(graphic/realistic)

Content Warning: Simplified organs, blood, & trypophobia - Only click the bar below if you are OK with seeing this content!

 

(visual guide here)

 

NOT ALLOWED

This content is not tolerated within our community and is prohibited by our guidelines. We understand that some character backstories may feature trauma linked to some of the topics below. While we do not forbid people from creating stories related to trauma, we ask you to keep any such artwork or writing out of the official community chats. Art, stories, and other content shared in our server relating to these topics will be removed. The creator or poster will receive a warning or be removed from our server, depending on the severity of the situation.

• Assault / rape

• Nudity

• Sexual NSFW

• Pedophilia

• Suicide / self harm 

• Bestiality 

• Using other’s characters without consent

 

Members are allowed to have Nyaanpons.site characters whose lore incorporates NSFW(not sexual) topics, themes, or traits, so long as they follow our rules and such content is properly tagged, spoilered, and censored when posted in our public spaces. Members are fully responsible for deciding what content they wish to engage with when clicking on tagged and spoilered artwork. Neither the staff team nor other members are accountable for what you might see, or if the art might affect you, once you decide to view an appropriately tagged image. Do not contact the owners of spoilered/censored Nyaanpons.site characters with the intent of bullying, guilting them for the NSFW elements, or overall dogpiling on them to change their character, design, or art. Members found guilty of this will receive a strike for harassment. 

Our Discord server allows PG jokes and topics that are commonly found in children’s cartoons, such as crude humor or bathroom humor. As long as these topics and jokes do not venture into fetish or major NSFW territory, they are allowed to be discussed and made publicly. Jokes that are specifically sexual or fetish-related may not be posted at all. Moderators should be alerted if jokes or content get too out-of-hand.

 

 

AGE

Users of the website and Discord must be at least 13 years of age. If you are below the age of 13, we encourage you to not interact with the website or Discord at all. By creating an account on this website, you agree that you are of the legal age in your local area to view the content listed.

Nyaanpons.site may feature some NSFW(non sexual) themes and topics (gore, body horror, alcohol and drug mentions, and other possibly triggering content). We always will spoiler and tag content with their appropriate warnings to make sure that members are aware of such subject matter.

While it is required by users, moderators, and artists to always tag and spoiler their art accordingly with appropriate content warnings, neither the moderator nor the artist are accountable for what you might see and if the art might affect you once you decide to view the appropriately tagged image. If a spoilered image does not include any content warnings, open a ticket with a mod to report the lack of content warning on spoilered content.

Swearing is permitted, but please try to avoid excessive foul language.  

We do not tolerate adults bothering minors or vice versa—one report can be an instant ban if the situation is suspicious. Inappropriate talk between minors and adults will immediately result in an investigation and removal from the server if needed. 

Members under the age of 18 cannot create, request, or share adult content. Similarly, adults are not allowed to create, request, or share adult content with minors. Both parties may be given a ban in this situation.

 

 

ACCOUNT AND USER UPLOADS

In order to own a Nyaanpons.site character, you are required to make an on-site account which needs to be linked to one of your supported social media accounts. (DeviantArt & Toyhou.se)

Your account name must be unique and cannot include any vulgar, sexual, suggestive, NSFW, hateful, or otherwise disrespectful words or phrases. We will change it to something more appropriate without consulting you.

It is forbidden to make multiple accounts in order to gain extra in-game materials, bypass bans, troll, cheat, etc. If you find yourself unable to log back into your account, try resetting your password or contact a moderator as a last resort. If you would like to change your username, please contact a member of the staff team instead of creating a new account; we can change your username for you. In the event of a ban, the banned user cannot create or use another account. Your account and access to your account is non-transferrable and cannot be given away, traded to, or sold to another user or person for any reason. 

The sale or trade of in-game items and/or currency for "real life" currency is prohibited, and will result in a warning. On-site items from Nyaanpons.site can only be exchanged for other Nyaanpons on-site items, Nyaanpons virtual currency, or other intangible goods such as artwork or characters. This is to avoid value inflation and keep our currencies and items free. The only exception to this rule is Pop Rocks, which are purchased with United States Dollars and may be resold for only their monetary worth.

All writing and art pieces that you upload to the website gallery or user profiles need to be either created by you or, if created by another artist, require that artist’s permission to be uploaded. Additionally, art and writing may not include any hateful, excessively vulgar, or sexual themes/depictions. 

Links in a user’s personal profile are not verified by the moderator team. As such, please treat them with caution. However, users are forbidden from linking to any harmful, hateful, or otherwise disrespectful websites, and may be banned from the site if this is discovered.

The personal accounts and posts of Guest Artists, Moderators, and other staff are not connected to the Nyaanpons.site group. They may post, repost, like, or follow whatever is to their liking. While they are also obliged to follow the Nyaanpons.site rules on official platforms, they are allowed to post whatever else is legal and not harmful on their personal social media. This might include swearing, NSFW content, gore, political discussion, or other content. Discretion is advised when interacting with these accounts.

The Nyaanpons species group is strongly against NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and will never interact with or condone them. Every instance of the acronym NFT used within our group is the shortened version of ‘not for trade.’ This acronym has been used for character trades for years and we will not change its in-group meaning to stand for Non-Fungible-Token, as we do not associate with them.

 

 

WARNINGS, STRIKES AND BANS

All warnings, strikes, bans, and other personal matters will only be discussed privately with the individual involved. We will not give out any personal information to other users or disclose who has how many warnings, strikes, etc.

For small and/or clearly unintentional rule breaks, a warning will be given out to the user in question. Once 3 separate warnings have been sent to the same user, said user will receive a strike. Strikes may also be directly given, without prior warning, for larger and more intentional rule breaks. Once a user has received a total of 3 strikes, they will be temporarily or permanently banned from participating in the Nyaanpons species group, depending on the severity of the situation.

A temporary ban means that the user is banned from participating in any group-specific games, events, sales, giveaways, and any other group-specific activities for a set period of time. Once the given timeframe has passed, the user may be allowed back into the group unless the moderators receive proof of continued malicious intent and/or non-changed behavior.

A permanent ban means that the user will be banned from all group-related social media, the Nyaanpons Discord, and the official website. The user may no longer participate in any games, events, sales, trades, giveaways, and other group-hosted events. All characters, items, and currency still on the user’s on-site account will be permanently voided and deleted. Users may keep their characters after they have been voided, but can no longer call them a Nyaanpon/Nyampura or claim them to be a part of the Nyaanpons species group. The user is not entitled to a refund of any premium virtual currencies they own at the time of being permanently banned.

Upon termination of your account and this agreement:
You will immediately cease all use of the site, our Discord group, or interaction with our social media pages; you will have no further access to your Nyaanpons.site account.

A user may be prevented from entering the Nyaanpons species group as a whole if we have serious proof of illegal behavior/actions made either within or outside of our community.

If you feel like you have been banned unfairly, you may appeal your ban by replying to the message sent by the Admin account, or by contacting us through Discord or email. You will need to provide a reason and proof of your claim, and we may discuss your case further.

Staff, Moderators, and Guest Artists are free to have private and personal ban lists both for their personal accounts as well as for their community sales and services. If you find yourself unable to participate in events or games because of this, you may seek out another moderator to help you enter or participate. This does not include sale blacklists; do not contact another moderator to try to get around an artist’s sale blacklist.

 

 

Character & ownership terms

 

 

SPECIES SPECIFIC

The species found within Nyaanpons.site are a closed species concept belonging to KittyKibbles, and as such you are not allowed to make one without permission. You also cannot make species adoptables of them [free, paid, or otherwise] without permission. These rules pertain to the ownership, resale, and trade of Nyaanpons.site designs. You may not claim ownership of the species or claim any rights to any art or content made for this group.

While Nyaanpons are a Closed Species, we are in no way gatekeeping the concepts behind these critters. If you want to make characters that are similar, go ahead! We only ask that you do not call them Nyaanpons/Nyampura, or mention Nyaanpons or KittyKibbles’s name in association with these ‘fan-made' characters. Also, while personal use is fine, please do not make 'fan-made' Nyaanpons-inspired characters to sell for profit.

 

 

OWNERSHIP

When you own a Nyaanpons.site character, you own the personal and non-commercial rights to that character. Nyaanpons.site retains the commercial rights to the character species, but does not claim any personal or commercial rights to any unique and individual character you may own. We will never claim to own or revoke any characters owned by any user.

Commercial use of your Nyaanpons.site character(s) requires specific approval and set rules by KittyKibbles. Commercial use is prohibited without specific approval.

Nyaanpons.site character ownership is handled and tracked strictly through the official website via the Masterlist.

The only way to be certain that a Nyaanpons.site character purchase is legitimate is to receive an on-site transfer from the current owner. In order to reduce the possibility of a scam, users are encouraged to only initiate a character transfer after full payment has been made.

If a user is experiencing difficulty verifying the legitimacy or worth of a Nyaanpons.site character they are purchasing off-site, they may reach out to a moderator for assistance.

Every Nyaanpons.site character may only have up to 2 official owners. Off-site ‘co-owning’ is allowed, but more than 2 will not be maintained or recognised on the Nyaanpons website. The Masterlist will only recognize 2 official owners per character.  We do not and will not take any responsibility for co-ownership disputes nor the terms that co-owners set between themselves. You are completely responsible for keeping up and navigating your own co-ownership contract.

You may change your Nyaanpons.site character’s appearance or design according to the rules in our redesign guide(link soon). Other changes [gender, ethnicity, name, age, personality, scars, disabilities, body types, missing limbs, etc]. may be changed at any time, to the owner's liking, without mod approval.

While we host all Nyaanpons.site characters on our website, we have no direct connection to, or say in, how a user decides to develop their character’s personality and actions. We do not condone any inappropriate character development, but cannot and will not interfere with a user’s personal choices unless they directly violate our rules. It is against the Nyaanpons.site terms of service to make characters that perpetuate harmful stereotypes of race, gender, sex, mental health status, lifestyle, etc.

 

 

DESIGN AND REDESIGNS

Specific rules on how much you can alter your Nyaanpons.site character’s design can be found on our redesign page(link soon). Large design edits, specific items, accessories, traits, and re colors might require an on-site item in order to update the design. Please see our redesign guide linked above, as well as our list of all currently available traits

If you decide to transfer an existing character of yours into a Nyaanpons.site character, you must credit the original designer of that character on the Masterlist.

 

When uploading a new image to your character’s Masterlist page, be aware that only two images can be uploaded on one character’s Masterlist at a time. This is to reduce our memory usage for the website. The original image that was made and uploaded first to the character’s Masterlist entry will never be deleted, and always takes up one of the two image slots. You can use the second image slot to upload a rebase or an updated design. Once a third image is uploaded, the previous image in this second slot will be deleted! Make sure to save any images of your character, as it is not our responsibility to provide you with any secondary images that have been deleted over time. Exceptions for a third image are only made if characters include a second form from the very beginning.

more to add.

 

 

RESALE TERMS

You may only put your character up for sale or trade once it has been uploaded to the Masterlist.

Each Nyaanpons.site character’s Masterlist entry lists their original sale price in United States Dollars; this is called the sale value. Free or unpaid characters are given a $0 sale value and cannot be sold.

A Nyaanpons.site character’s sale value can be increased by adding on the cost of commissioned artwork to it. Only paid commissioned artwork and physical items such as plushies, merchandise, etc. will add the price of the art onto the sale value of the character.*  Any commissioned art pieces need to be provided proof of payment to count towards the character’s worth. Users found to be lying about commission prices to inflate a character’s value will receive a strike.

Pending art commissions cannot be added to the character’s worth. If you have any pending commissions, we recommend either waiting until the artwork is completed before listing your character for sale, or changing your commission to feature a different character.

A character cannot be sold for more than the sale value listed on the Masterlist without first going through a moderator to appraise and confirm its total worth. This is done by a question form, which you must fill out completely and send to a mod for approval before listing your character for sale. Attempting to sell your character for more than its base value without appraisal is strongly prohibited, and may result in a strike if found to be intentional. Please DM a mod for the form.

 

Users are permitted to ask for pings if they would like to be notified of a character going up for sale/trade in the future, unless the character or owner’s profile states not to ask for pings. The mod team will give out warnings to users for requesting pings, if the other user’s page[s] clearly states that they are not comfortable with these inquiries. However, we will only do so if those notes are clearly there. If a user does not want others contacting them for pings, they should be sure to clearly state it on their profile.

Once a MYO slot has been purchased by a user, it cannot be resold—only traded, gifted, or vouchered with mod approval. You are forbidden from reselling your MYO slot unless you have specifically been given Mod approval for a voucher, which is usually only done in case of an emergency.

There are no set rules on trading or gifting Nyaanpons.site characters.

You may transfer your character through trading, reselling, and/or gifting. New owners must be made aware of these sale terms, and by accepting the Masterlist transfer are accepting these terms.

Failure to abide by resale rules may result in the user being banned from obtaining Nyaanpons.site characters and the termination of the user’s website account.

 

*Personal art that you have made for your Nyaanpons.site character is worth a flat $5 each piece. Only finished(clean lines + color)  pieces are counted. Complaints or abuse of this system will cause it to be permantly removed and personal art will no longer add any vaule to your Nyaanpons.site character's sale value.

 

 

term meanings

 

 

Closed Species are an Original Species defined by the unique nature of the character’s appearances, anatomy, and lore to create the species concept as a whole. Characters within a Closed Species are not free to make, meaning only certain individuals can create official characters of said species. Usually there are MYO slots with which other users can make their own characters of the species.

MYO [Make Your Own] are slots sold, traded, or gifted to members to make their own character of a certain species. 

GA [Guest Artist]These are individuals which were granted special permission to create Nyaanpons.site characters and accept rebase and custom commissions. When and how many GAs are chosen is up to the staff team.

 

NFT/NFS [not for trade/sale] Some Nyaanpons.site characters on Toyhouse might have the Tag ‘NFT’. This has always been a shortened version of ‘not for trade’ meaning that the character isn’t currently open for offers.

FTO [First Time Owner] are members which have never before owned a Nyaanpon/Nyampura.

Non-Owners are members who have owned a Nyaanpon/Nyampura in the past, but currently do not own any Nyaanpons.site characters.

FFA [free for all] is a term used to indicate that a specific sale, trade, etc, is available for anyone to enter. This includes members who currently own Nyaanpons/Nyampura, as well as FTOs and Non-Owners. 

FCFS [first come first served] is a way to quickly sell characters or MYO slots. The person who replies fastest to the given advertisement will be the winner of said sale, giveaway, trade, etc.

Flat Sale Raffle - A flat sale raffle is a sale in which the character or MYO being sold has a predetermined price, such as $50, and the buyer is selected randomly from a raffle. It does not cost any money to enter into the raffle. Only the winner, once rolled from the raffle, will need to pay for the character. Do not enter any flat sale raffles if you cannot pay!

UFS [Up For Sale] indicates that a member is looking to sell their character! They sometimes have a set price tag, or may allow you to offer money with other things on top, such as art.  

UFT [Up For Trade] indicates that a member is looking to trade their Nyaanpon/Nyampura for characters, such as one offs or other closed species! They may mention what sort of characters they are looking for in their post.  

SWAPS [Up For Swap] indicates that a member is looking to swap their Nyaanpon/Nyampura for another Nyaanpon/Nyampura or same designer only! If they are only looking for swaps, please do not try to bribe them with money or non-Nyaan/Nyam characters.

ENTERTAINING OFFERS/EO indicates that a member is accepting offers on their Nyaanpon/Nyampura out of curiosity, but is not certain if they would let the character in question go. Entertaining means that it’s mostly to see what sort of trade offers they will get, so the people who offer shouldn’t get too excited about receiving said character.  

VOUCHERS indicate that a member is looking for money voucher offers. A money voucher means that a person can put their Nyaanpons.site character up for sale for more money than the Nyaanpon/Nyampura is worth, as long as the money is for a particular emergency related goal [such as bills, emergencies, etc.] For example, if a Nyaanpon’s base value is 50 USD, and they get vouchered off for 400 USD, the base value of that Nyaanpon will not change, so please be cautious because you WILL lose money over it. Please ask for permission from a mod before taking a voucher for your Nyaanpon/Nyampura! We do not tolerate this being mistreated.

Please respect these terms and only offer what people ask for! Repeatedly ignoring sale or trade requirements will result in a strike.
