  • A single user may only have [1] account. Under no circumstances do we allow a user to create multiple accounts for any reason. If a username change is needed, please request a username change instead of creating a new account. Having multiple accounts will result in limitations in game participation and/or banning of all associated accounts.
  • We reserve the right to change usernames of users that we find are sexual in nature, use slurs, swears, hateful language, or are otherwise deemed inappropriate in nature.

STAR EATER DESIGN TOS

These terms of service refer to character designs listed on this website as "official Star Eaters" - not adhering to these terms may result in the design being voided, which makes it ineligable for use in site events and prompts.


OFFICIAL STAR EATERS

An official Star Eater is a Star Eater created with the specific intention of being a member of the Star Eater world. Star Eaters are a gamified closed species and can only be obtained by:


  • Using a MYO slot obtained through the website and events and designing your own Star Eater.
  • Purchasing adoptables made by the Species Owner or guest designers who have permission from the Species Owner to create adoptables.
  • Purchasing an official Star Eater secondhand from another member of the Star Eater community. 

In order to obtain an official Star Eater a user must go through an official Star Eater channel to get their Star Eater approved by staff and added to the website.


BEWARE OF MYO "SALES" - Star Eaters do not sell MYO slots for real ($ USD, € Euro, ¥ Yen, etc.) currency. MYO slots are not allowed to be resold. If someone is attempting to sell you a Star Eater MYO slot for real currency do not purchase. It is likely to be a scam.


STAR EATER USAGE

Star Eater designs are wholly owned by the user. Outside of official Star Eater channels the owner has the freedom to do what they want with the design within the guidelines. Star Eaters that break the guidelines can be voided and barred from official Star Eater events and prompts.

  • Using Star Eaters to incite discrimination or hate speech, political propaganda, and other hateful and inflammatory ideologies is prohibited. Star Eaters used in such ways may be voided and users responsible may be banned. 
  • Ownership is officially recognized as whoever holds a Star Eater on their stareaters.gay account. Co-owning of Star Eaters is not recognized or supported by this website or its staff.
    • Should users choose to unofficially co-own and a dispute occurs, staff will not mediate and ownership recognition will be maintained as whoever holds the Star Eater on their stareaters.gay account. 

VOIDED STAR EATERS

Voided Star Eaters are blocked from use in prompts, events, and cannot have art and writing of them to be posted on the site. Voided Star Eaters will be marked as VOID on the site.
Voiding Star Eaters is very serious, but we do allow users to voluntarily void their own Star Eater for any reason.

  • Users are not required to particpate in Star Eater events and prompts, and do not have to strictly adhere to Star Eater lore outside of design requirements.  We strongly encourage users to step back from the community and enjoy their Star Eaters privately instead of voiding.

When a star eater is voluntarily voided;

  • We will not remove the Star Eater from the website, instead it will be marked as VOID. This is for archival purposes and to prevent voided Star Eaters from returning to the site by accident.
    • The owner of a voided Star Eater may request their username be removed from the Star Eaters ownership page, and may request the Star Eater be hidden from the public if they wish to disassociate from Star Eaters entirely.
  • If a voluntarily voided Star Eater changes ownership, the new owner can request the Star Eater be unvoided, allowing them to be used in official site events again, with limitations:
    • Star Eaters may only be voluntarily and unvoided two times. The third time a void request is submitted, the Star Eater will be voided indefinitely. 
    • The request can only be made by a new owner, and proof of sale/change in ownership may be required.
    • A voluntarily voided Star Eater can only be unvoided after a cooldown of 3 months.
    • While voided, a Star Eater must not have been used in ways that violate the terms of service for Star Eaters.

Involuntary voiding happens when a Star Eater is used in ways that break terms of service, and/or when the user owning the Star Eater is banned and blacklisted from the community. We do not reclaim designs that break the rules, they are simply stripped of their status as "official" Star Eaters and barred from use in site prompts, events, and art.

When a star eater is involuntarily voided;

  • Are voided indefinitely and cannot be unvoided under any circumstance, even if ownership of the Star Eater changes.
